Please help with some research

[Noodley]

Who do you know who wears a Pringle jumper, and don't say you do, cos I won't believe you.

My dad

I think it is a sort of jumper with a large and so say recognisable pattern on it, or it might be used for golf, so no, Swee'pea, I do not think you can eat it.

The descriptions some people gave of the edible Pringle leads me to question the edibility of the crispoids.

Thank you everyone for your help with this light-hearted research. On the subject of crisps I think I will stick with Tyrrells, mature cheddar and chives.

Crisps in a tube

Thank you 4F , you are confirming my hypothesis.

I will now be saying goodnight.

Those bloody crisps that spoil your appetite when you eat too many with a G and T before a good meal. OK, I admit to a Pringles sweater decades ago, but it did look a bit girly. It cost a fortune and went through at the elbows within a couple of months...crap knitwear.

Pringle sweaters, were they not the ones with large diamond like shapes on the front a v neck and, as above, quite thin wool!
Popular with golfers and people who stood around at sporting events drinking G&T's !!

Crisps first, silly jumpers later

This thread is not humourous at all.

Three years ago, I told my two sons I was buying a new bike.

"I'm buying a Dawes", says I.

Both of them, in unison, without rehearsal, replied...

"What are the scores, George Dawes?"

I always think of Wenceslas when I hear the word 'Pringles'.
When you open a tube it is deep and crisp and even. A salt on the senses...

(People used to make range extenders for wi-fi from empty pringle tubes btw- I think )

Tasty, but expensive crisps in a tennis ball container.

With a can of lighter fluid and a barbecue lighter you can make extremely effective canons out of the tubes.

Any respectable cyclist will know the shape of a Pringle as a Hyperbolic Paraboloid.

Without this knowledge, you are merely a Pedestrian On a Bike.

AKA a buckled potato!

The most respected cyclists have had rear wheels this shape after a multi rider crash.

A pringle used to be a mild term of abuse, back in the day, as in "You pringle!"

Possibly a euphemism for pr*ck
