Searching for the question to the answer of 42.

Delicious evil candy

22. Trivial Pursuit for Kids on Pringles. I don’t know what the company did to get questions on Pringles, but be assured, I also don’t want to eat them, nor to let my hypothetical kids eat them. Even if it’s harmless food coloring.

23. Darth Sidious Pez dispenser. OK. How many reasons is this contributing to the end of the world? First, we know how I feel about Star Wars overmarketing. Second, who wants to eat delicious, sugary candy out of a Sith Lord’s neck? Out of evil? Out of the creature who created Darth Vader with his poisonous whisperings and lies. This Pez dispenser should come with a warning label. Do not eat unless you want to come to the Dark Side through eating candy!

(Then I will admit that Darth was a gift from my roommate. Thanks, btw. I did like it, actually.)

  1. James Doohan died. that really is sad.

    anyway whats up sister, you no talk to me no more?? huh? HUH??

    I have more pictures of kitties on my blog. you know you like my kitties!


  2. I have to admit that Pez dispenser is a bit scary, but definately a keeper!

    Great gift, by the way.


  3. I completely agree about the writing on chips. Besides, what do they do with the Pringles that get all mashed on the bottom of the can? Pringles-poetry?

    I’ve never liked regular potato chips, even though they have a closer relation to potato than Pringles do. And I love Pringles. But what do they do to them to make them all the same shape? They’re reconstituted potato parts!

    Pringles poetry, sssshhh. That’s brilliant, but don’t tell anybody. You don’t want them to run with that idea.

    And, btw, that Darth Sidious is even creepier if you get a good look at his face. The picture isn’t spectacular; I didn’t want to take him out of the package yet. But I probably will.


  5. . . . taking a second look, I see that there are THREE packs of Pez candy! I don’t ever remember getting three packs with my dispenser.

  6. Mel B

    I guess I never gave it thought. I don’t remember how many packs of Pez you get.
    I do remember being on a serious Pez kick a number of years ago. I’d haunt the candy aisles of stores and see if I could find big packs of Pez refills.
    I think they must’ve had a resurgence since then.

    And apparently there’s a giant size Vader dispenser. Goes for $25.

  7. Mel B

    Oh, and did anyone notice the bottom of the package is on fire?


  8. Yes, I did notice the fire. Is that suppose to be Hell?


  9. I wouldn’t want to eat anything from Darth Sidious’s neck because, well, he just looks diseased to me! Like eating leprous scabs or something. Eww…

    And Pringles. I LOVE pringles, at least as compared to other potato chips. Best prize I ever won as a child (for memorizing Bible verses at Vacation Bible School, of all things) were a couple cans of pringles and half a dozen bottles (as in GLASS bottles, remember those?) of Pepsis. I was in absolute heaven. What a great incentive for Bible memorization. I’d do it again, any day!

    And, Tammy, you asked the question that popped into my head immediately, but provided a far better answer than I could have given. Now if you could just stick magnets on the backs of the chips, you’d have Pringles Magnetic Poetry.


  10. Just out of curiosity, how do you (anybody) eat your pringles? I like to lay the whole chip on my tongue (after all, they’re curved to fit), rather than bite away at them with my teeth. This also has the advantage of keeping the salty side to the roof of my mouth and the tastier less-salty-side against my taste buds.


  11. I always eat them by laying the whole chip on my tongue, there is just no other way to do it!

    I particularly like the originals and the cheese flavor.

  12. Mel B

    I tend to stick them whole into my mouth, in the curve of my mouth, as Dawn says.
    And the only flavor I eat is sour cream and onion.


  13. The originals are my favorite, though I also like the salt and vinegar, sour cream and onion, and (sometimes) barbecue.


  14. I can’t say that I like the salt and vinegar chips.

  15. Mel B

    I tried the salt and vinegar Pringles once and regretted the money I’d spent on them.
    I used to like salt and vinegar chips, but I always bought them at a convenience store, in a small bag. And they were my one exception to regular potato chips.
