Pringles — for those who like the taste of cooked paper.

Some guys only go to those parties hoping for some Lay’s.

Did the Pringles invite themselves?
geekboy_x over 8 years ago
Wait a minute. Those cool ranch guys are OBVIOUSLY Dortitos (or a store-brand knock-off) which makes them CORN based so why they hell are they at the POTATO chip party. Chip party? Sure. Potato chip party? No way, José!!

Who’s the mess?The bottom of a tube of Pringles is always crumbs.
Wilde Bill over 8 years ago
Technically, Pringles are crisps not chips.
Kind&Kinder over 8 years ago
Well, at least the Pringles are all of one accord. And they all taste the same, like homogeneous bits of crispy flavored mush.

Who invited the Pringles? They aren’t potato chips. They’re nothin’ chips. Taste like buttons.

I’m pretty sure anal retentive should have a hyphen in it. (That’s the joke, isn’t it?)
SusanSunshine Premium Member over 8 years ago
Well, when the chips are down….you’ll be glad to see some Pringles.

Who cares it’s all Yummie for the Tummy !
Sandfan over 8 years ago
Since the chips are being identified by flavor, the Pringles should be called Crispy Cardboard.

This is all much ado about nothing! Who gives a crunch?
Chad Cheetah over 8 years ago
Actual walking potato chips? What the heck?
RACerri32 over 8 years ago
Well, thx all , another Sunday , groaning all day , and not even the tummy ache from eating a whole tube of Pringles to blame it on .

I consider Pringles a non-food product.
whiteheron over 8 years ago
I am surprised they didn’t invite the Funyuns. Even though they aren’t tater chips, they are awfully fun.

Potato chip makers renamed their day to “National Real Potato Chip Day”—just to avoid having to share it with Pringles.

Pringles are clones, and their monoculture will lead to their demise.

Truly funny, well done.

Funniest PBS in a long time. The passed out chip by the couch cracked me up!
nosirrom over 8 years ago
I noticed that they didn’t invite Sea Salt and Vinegar. Probably because he’s too bossy.
Digital Frog over 8 years ago
Talk about walking around with a chip on your shoulder. The Pringles decided to bag it and took the tube home.
Packratjohn Premium Member over 8 years ago
At some point, the party was crashed by store brand chips.
Nuliajuk over 8 years ago
I actually like Pringles. No, they aren’t quite potato chips, I really can’t explain it.
kaffekup over 8 years ago
Aw, a PBS without a pun…
A_NY_Outlaw over 8 years ago
that party looks like it would bite.
sdtaylor51 over 8 years ago
Liberal pringles.
dutchs over 8 years ago
Please note that they’re all some shade of BROWN, not the undercooked pale yellow of most chips in the store. I often buy generic chips because there’s a better chance they’re cooked properly.

You corn-chip (or crisp or whatever) haters are just bigots! Shame!

Should I be uncomfortable at this anthropomorphizing of something I eat pretty often? Are you calling me a cannibal, Cartoon_Boy?!

I tuned in today to commend Shephan for his great strip!

I see that Frito lays down on the job again…he forgot to send The Munchos their invitation!

Spending some time recently studying the Myers-Briggs Types, this was particular apropos… and insightful.
Yes, we all have our own personality types.
