Plain Pringles!
Cheese is the shits.
Top Gun and Home Alone suck.
Cal Ripken and Peyton Manning are the most overrated professional athletes of my lifetime.
Well, the original script for "Home Together" involved the family just staying at home for Christmas, nothing particularly eventful, and an attempted breaking and entering which was swiftly resolved when the parents called the cops. So I guess they had to change it up a little at least.

Peyton Manning- played like garbage in "the biggest game" of every season he played minus one playoff loss to Pittsburgh. I was actually in a bar with Joe and called a shot on Manning throwing an INT. He was the Warren Moon of his generation, but because he was on a roster with Von Miller and Dominic Rhodes when they had the best days of their life he won games Moon didn't win. Manning never scared me like an Elway, Montana, or Marino.

In all seriousness with Ripken, the streak came at the expense of him being at his best. With Orioles teams in the 90s having a chance to be champions, he placed the streak above his team, and that is something I don't abide by. I also think, much like Derek Jeter, that he was an incredibly overrated player who was more valuable as a symbol than an actual guy who produced wins on the field.

Cal's streak saved baseball during the 90s. He completely changed the shortstop position. The Os of the 90s had some head cases on those teams, so it wasn't all Cal's fault.

Okay I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but I can't let this go. And I'm sticking to the Cal Ripken debate.
I'm not a Cal Ripken fan, and I hate the Orioles more than any team in the Majors (because of Peter Angelo's successful quest to keep baseball out of DC for 20 years). But Ripken is an absolute first-tier Hall of Famer.
He averaged 25.9 home runs for his first 10 seasons, and he was a run scoring and RBI machine. For a shortstop in the 80s and early 90s, that is basically Babe Ruth. He is 14th all-time in MLB for hits (Jeter is 6th BTW), and he was a great defensive shortstop. Again, 19-freaking-time All-Star (!). And I've never heard of Ripken being legitimately linked to using steroids.
Overrated? That's subjective. But most overrated athlete in your lifetime? Nope.

We aren't a crab leg state. Those are king crabs. We do blue claws/blue crabs which have sweeter meat and are typically used for crab cakes/rarely consumed by itself.
Old Bay is fantastic but Maryland over does it constantly. It's like a thin coating of Old Bay exists all over the state.

maybe I haven't visited the part of MD that you are from but I've routinely had blue crab boils growing up when we were at the beach and catching blue crabs. I mean that's typical Chesapeake IMO....but maybe I misunderstood what you meant.

Meant the legs particularly. Grew up on the Jersey Shore and I have absolutely had lump meat, but it was almost always body/claw meat. Anyone who says leg meat pretty much means something else.

Nothing wrong with a lot of Old Bay on the outside of steamed crabs. Fingers get covered, mouth starts burning, makes the sweet meat taste even better.
Agree that too much filler will ruin a good crab cake, but remember that a crab cake without filler is called sauteed crab meat. Need a proper amount to make it a crab cake.

Agreed. Old Bay steamed blues are awesome, but a lot of work. Love me some soft shell batter fried - especially in a garlic sauce - some VA city needs to trademark that.
Hard to make a bad crabcake using jumbo lump blue crab. The crappy ones are when they use what is extracted after the lump is removed (back fin or claw/leg) and have to use to much binder to make the patty thick, and to much old bay to flavor the binder.

All pringles are good. Sour cream and onion are very good. But plain pringles? Why yes, yes they are the best. They are like Doritos. You don't stop eating because you want to. You stop because you either ran out or you shamed yourself to do so.

As a Browns fan for the last 20 years, this took me awhile to sort through. I will agree with French and say Kelly Holcomb only because he almost led the Browns to a win in their only Playoff (wild card) game in the expansion franchise history. Very close second is Derek Anderson as he actually ran the only semblance of an offense the Browns have had recently.

Pringles makes me think of the late, great Mitch Hedberg....
I think Pringles' original intention was to make tennis balls. But, on the day the rubber was supposed to arrive, a truckload of potatoes showed up. And Pringles is a laid-back company, they said, "Fuck it, cut em up.

If you grind up chicken and other stuff, and shape it, it becomes a nugget, no matter where you get it, how it's shaped, what sauce you put on it, or what you call it. If you want Tom make a Pringle, you grind up potatos, mix them with other stuff, and shape them. All are more "junk" than food, or "sawdust" as you call it. If you are going to grind it up and shape it, start with a mammal.

Does anyone else have the sudden urge to melt some savory sharp cheddar cheese onto a pile of delicious pringles? I think I just figured out what is for lunch tomorrow.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
All I know about Pringles is that if I open a can, I'll be halfway through them without even thinking about it, particularly if they're sour creme and onion.
Also, if I find some broken ones, I feel obligated to eat more until I get down to the next whole one. You know, so the next person isn't disappointed because their first chip is a broken one...

I remember Moore's potato chips.....used to get them when I was a kid. They used to have prizes in them, kind of like Cracker Jack. My favorite was the little plastic dog that had a string attached to a plastic weight. You would hang the weight over the side of the table and the dog would walk up to the edge of the table and stop. And just think, all you kids have now are PS4 and Xbox.

Trying not to downvote. These are so salty and overseasoned that you don't even know you're eating a chip. Why not just shake some old bay seasoning directly into your mouth?

No. I really think Plain Pringles are the best Pringles.

He's an anthropomorphic Pringles chip. When you eat a can of Pringles, you are eating his family. The mustache mostly hides his expression, but you can see the abject horror in his eyes.

I used to work for a company that had the contract to provide the salt for Pringles. They also made salt for plane de-icers. Ergo, Pringles taste like plane de-icer.

I have to put in an obligatory plug for my brother-in-law. If you're in or ever visit the northeast, particularly central NY, pick up a bag of Saratoga Chips. They're some of the best chips I've had. My brother-in-law says that the secret is the Himalayan pink salt.

Pringles would be better in a bag. Stupid cans.
Are you kidding me? One of the best traits of Pringles is that they're sometimes not broken into little tiny pieces.
Do you frequent the quikstop? have time letting those hard to reach chips go?
RIP Mitch Hedberg.....saw him at Tech while I was there. Loved his sense of humor.
People often put a donut on his tombstone. And of course they include the receipt.
But do people leave Pringles in a tennis ball container?
If it weren't for Pringles' cans, there would be no way to do about 1/2 of the Science Fair Projects...
Plain Pringles!

Cal Ripken and Peyton Manning are the most overrated professional athletes of my lifetime.

Just out of curiosity, what is it you think Cal Ripken and Peyton Manning didn't actually do that you think most people think they did?
Cal Ripken was a 19-time All-Star, two-time AL MVP, who had 3,184 hits and hit 431 home runs at short stop in a relatively dead-ball era.
Cal Ripken- took steroids.
Peyton Manning- played like garbage in "the biggest game" of every season he played minus one playoff loss to Pittsburgh. I was actually in a bar with Joe and called a shot on Manning throwing an INT. He was the Warren Moon of his generation, but because he was on a roster with Von Miller and Dominic Rhodes when they had the best days of their life he won games Moon didn't win.

You keep making comments like that and I'll sneak cheese into your beer.
Wouldn't work. French don't imbibe.
I know these have been surpassed but still impressive at the time:
The Colts went 2-14 when he got injured. When Brady got injured Cassel passed all of his single season records.
I said when they Colts went 2-14 that Peyton should have been voted the MVP that year.
Okay I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but I can't let this go. And I'm sticking to the Cal Ripken debate.

Yes, the Old Bay on everything is overkill in MD, but the blue crabs are still awesome here.
I think VA Beach Crabcakes are better than MD crabcakes.
It's all on the recipe if they are both using Blue Crabs. There is too much filler, usually bread crumbs, in most crab cakes.

Well, that explains it then.
You are just incorrect.
Can't fucking wait for the sequel.
I just saw this scene last night! I started watching The Wire (first time seeing it) over the weekend while home with the flu. I can hear his voice!
Going after Cal?
Cheese is the shit
s.FTFY.
Is there such a thing as a good Pringle?
Amen, fake chip garbage. Throw them all away.
Dunno about that. Munchos are pretty damn good.
Anyone else starting this thread would be voted into oblivion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pringles are disgusting
Let it go. More for us.
Sour Cream n' Onion is the only Pringle I will eat. If you're going in for the pringles tongue burn, you might as well make it worth it.
Almost ate an entire can of the pizza pringles and wondered what the fuck happened to my tongue. Didn't know that was really a thing.
All pringles are good. Sour cream and onion are very good. But plain pringles? Why yes, yes they are the best. They are like Doritos. You don't stop eating because you want to. You stop because you either ran out or you shamed yourself to do so.
It's like asking who is the best Cleveland Browns QB in the last 20 years
This might be one of the top 10 TKP comments I've ever read.
Kelly Holcomb, and there is no debate about that.
As a Browns fan for the last 20 years, this took me awhile to sort through. I will agree with French and say Kelly Holcomb only because he almost led the Browns to a win in their only Playoff (wild card) game in the expansion franchise history.

Loaded baked potato all daaaayyy
Pringles makes me think of the late, great Mitch Hedberg....
Other than that... Meh.
Excellent reference.
BBQ, easily.
pringles are the chicken nuggets of potato chips.
Chick-Fil-A or McDonald's/Wendy's/Burger King?
Tyson
So McDonald's/BK/Wendy's
I categorize those nuggets as "sawdust."
If you grind up chicken and other stuff, and shape it, it becomes a nugget, no matter where you get it, how it's shaped, what sauce you put on it, or what you call it. If you want Tom make a Pringle, you grind up potatos, mix them with other stuff, and shape them. All are more "junk" than food, or "sawdust" as you call it. If you are going to grind it up and shape it, start with a mammal.
If you stack a plain pringles chip with another plain pringles chip?

Leg for spelling it the French way. Tres bien!
Nice catch. Studying foreign languages comes at a price, mostly to any reasonable ability to spell.
Respectfully disagree. I would put them second to Sour Cream and Onion.
Here's a fish pic to quell the jitters.

Really.... I wake up and check TKP on a Monday morning and the best yall have for me is a Pringles Debate?
Standard pringles are the best pringles.
Pringles are crap.
#sourgrapescauseIreallylikedpringles
Pringles are the hot dogs of potato chips.
They are delicious, but not really a potato chip. They are made up from the remains of potato chips.
So...... "Hot dogs are delicious but not really dogs. They are made up from the remains of dogs"?
Hot Dogs more than likely include bits of ground up this guy
Roman: [while barbequing lobsters] How about the gourmet here, you know what he wanted? Hotdogs! You know what they make those things out of, Chet? You know? Lips and assholes!
Enough of this heresy.
The finest potato chips are Granda Utz Chips. Thick slices made in small batches cooked in lard.
Nobody is debating pringles on the hierarchy of chips, just plain pringles on the hierarchy of all pringles
Moores Ruffle Chips are the best. Unfortunately I haven't seen a bag of them in 15 years.
Wise! Extra greasey!
I remember Moore's potato chips.....used to get them when I was a kid. They used to have prizes in them, kind of like Cracker Jack.

Mister Bee original chips. Goes great with pepperoni rolls.

Plain Pringles at the beach is the OG snack of all time.
I sometimes eat sand when I'm at the beach and I'm OK with it because I'm at the beach, so... yeah.
Yes I'm in a conference call...............
Plain are the best but don't you dare shit on BBQ Pringles
I like BBQ and Sour Cream and Onion as well. But plain is the best.
Pringles give me gas

Almost as if there were Jeff Goldblum crackers.
He was the coach of the Chicago Bears in the 90's after Ditka was fired. I believe he coached Pitt for a while too.
I bet he is #TeamPie.
if you haven't had these then you are missing out. Probably the best chips I've ever had.
Soylent green?
My absolute favorite chips! I went bat shit crazy when I found some in south Dakota a few months back.
Used to get these all the time in Louisiana
I used to eat Pringles, then I took an arrow to the knee.
I used to work for a company that had the contract to provide the salt for Pringles. They also made salt for plane de-icers. Ergo, Pringles taste like plane de-icer.
