Have you ever seen and old person

[Greedo]

Eating pringles???????????????


Me neither.

maybe if they brought out a Butterscotch flavour then they would start

 

[ianrauk]

My M-I-L does

Does 74 qualify as old? If so, then yes, my Mum.

Being strong willed, she manages to only eat a few at a time though.

 

[tyred]

Perhaps old people have more sense.

Pringles are the most addicitive thing known to man.

My Mum is 90 - and she was chomping them until Monday afternoon. The curvature allows her to bite, let her gnashers drop out, and relocate - sliding over the arc - in one deft action. The bottom set do the equivalent of 'freewheeling' while she nibbles away!

Thanks teef for probably the most disturbing mental imagery of my day.

I'm more worried about why she stopped on Monday afternoon? Did she run out due to snow? Or did she lose her teeth.

If only it were thus Arch.
Due to the Single vortex effect - too complex to deal with unless Jimbo is in attendance with a calculator, she fell over. Irregular heart, cut leg, severe damage to the other one and a broken hip!
So, I am writing this from the 6th floor of Hillingdon Hosp. waiting for her to come out of recovery. She has been well beaten up and whatever else this afternoon, brave old duck but stupidly stoic and Pringle felching fool to boot!
What is more; the Christmas Tree is twinkling away at the hosp. entrance!

My ma, 80 next time eats them every week.

Oooh, bugger! Sorry to hear that. All the best to her (from a complete stranger). Buy her some Pringles...

Anyway, I think we're proving fairly conclusively that Greedo's joke doesn't really work....

[longers]

Ouch, sorry to hear about your mum

More best wishes to her from a complete stranger.

 

[Greedo]

seems on evidence here that there are more of the older generation popping till they can't stop than I imagined.

Maybe not need to write to them now with my butterscotch idea.

 

[Baggy]

Cadbury's have been making chocolatey Pringles for years anyway...

No problem - thanks for the good wishes. I eventually got invited to the ICU where she was recovering due to low blood pressure. She was the only one in there and thery took pity on me - wasting away in the monolith's corridors on the sixth floor.
So, She was awake, cogent, remembering that my sister was arriving from Morocco about 20:30 etc..so all seems ok. I took photos (she was a nice nurse and there's something about the unifo....) texted all interested parties and am now ready for bed. (She was a nice nur....)

Anyway Greedo's after eating tips for his dotage - nothing like arriving prepared!
Butterscotch pringles - now there's a thought, although there's Ginger McVities Nuts to suck on as you get older...
