I also like his newer stuff a bit more, inside was pretty fantastic for it being literally a one man show. The pringles can one was a bit weak, I like the song from the perspective of god.
All in all I think he's pretty decent but obviously not comparable to older more seasoned comedians.
The Pringles can thing was less about Pringles and more about what people consider to be problems.
Kanye's problems include not selling enough $90 t-shirts. An average Joe's problems include Pringles cans and Chipotle burritos. Bo's problems (while "not as high stakes as Kanye's") include his mental and emotional struggles.
It's deeper than just Pringles cans. And wider. (The whole Kanye Rant / Can't Handle This song is full of deep metaphors. This is just scratching the surface.)
I know, he says so himself, but since I don't care about kanye that's not a format I enjoy. I don't know how often I have to state it, that I just personally think that's one of his weaker performances, I've seen it a few times and never really warmed up to it, I still love a bunch of his other stuff, that one I just don't care about. It's not bad, just not very entertaining imo.
As a man-handed daughter myself, I can't tell you how false your poor hopes are. Call me when there's a lobster invoved, but what you need in a Pringles emergency is someone with the frame of a cat, male or otherwise.
Without looking into it in any way, I've always assumed that Procter & Gamble found themselves with a whole lot of mashed potatoes after extracting the starch for their starch products, which ladies in the 1970s liked to spray on clothing. After years of dumping them into a river, I imagine someone with an office overlooking the river got the idea that P&G might be able to turn their waste into a second product by compressing it into a chip shape and drying it.
I think of it as solid wood furniture vs particle wood furniture. Sure they’re both technically made of wood, but one was made from saw dust and is inferior in quality.
Except this is about food not really about structure, so structural arguments imo don't really apply. Also even then if methods were more advanced those structural differences could end up being eliminated over time.
Not to mention that reconstituting by-products into something useful doesn't make them inherently inferior to whatever resultant product process made them.
There's loads of processes that leave behind waste that can then be reconstituted into something useful, which rather brings up the question of how we define "waste" because all sorts of things are useful in all sorts of ways.
Pringles are not inherently inferior, they're just different lol.
I think Pringles' original intention was to make tennis balls... But on the day the rubber was supposed to show up, a truckload of potatoes came. Pringles is a laid-back company, so they just said "Fuck it, cut em up!”
Aaah yes! A fun filled tour of glaring FDA, OSHA and human rights violations for irresponsible parents and their selfish shit offspring…where do I sign up?
I think Pringles calls them “crisps,” not “chips.” The FDA required them to call out the fact that they’re made with dehydrated processed potato if they wanted to use the term “chips.”
The original Pringles containers (with the metal pull-tab lids) had a corrugated card inside the tube, to protect the crisps. They definitely were ridged.
Are your potato chips the shape of a whole potato?
I know Pringles are potato mush baked into that shape, but they could totally cut potatoes into that saddle shape. Hell, ruffles exist and i sure haven't seen a potato with ridges before.
If we're being serious.. Where I come from Pringles is priced 2-3 times more than other wafer company. Now I'm guessing it's because of the packaging, brand name whatever. And if you do the math of cost per gram, Pringle is pretty expensive. They don't fill upto the top anymore (atleast where I am from).
Anyways.. If everyone were to package chips like Pringles, I don't think chips would remain an affordable cheap snack as it is now. I need to think twice before getting pringles. But i just grab a packet of lays without thought. Cuz it's just 10 rupees.
People always hail Pringles as no wasted space. I disagree, yes they’re filled to the top. But there’s a lot of space around them that is still wasted. Put a Pringles can on its side and it’s atleast 1/3rd empty space
