Crisp Crumbs
It was a normal Tuesday lunchtime. I was happily eating some Pringles, when it happened. The crisp I was eating was riddled with bubbles. I thought it felt strange. But i was hungry, and ate it all the same. As I did, these pockets exploded, showering crumbs everywhere. With the next bite, crumbs shot upwards, into my eye. It was so uncomfortable, fragments sharp as glass, impossible to find. I worried about the pieces getting stuck, and wondered if I would become a crisp, like some bizarre Kafka story. I fished them all out, and returned to work, completely baffled.

Poor you, Sarah! I’m glad all appears to be as back to normal as possible now.
When you wondered if you were going to become a crisp, did you have any idea if you would be the salt and vinegar, cheese and onion or just the original variety? -

Man, who knew a can of Pringles could be so violent?

Thanks everyone. It was so weird. I'm still a bit baffled, didn't know it could happen ether. I was eating the green Pringles at the time, so I suppose I would have become a sour cream and onion crisp.

So maybe rather a sour experience then.
