today, this came to my attention:
http://www.pringles.com/en_US/Pages/Xtreme.aspx?Flavor=2
yes, indeed, pringles now makes "extreme screamin' dill pickle" flavored chips. i like potato chips. i like a strong dill pickle. but together?
i'd love to have a conversation with the guy (yes, guy) who invented this. how many man hours did it take to bring this artificially flavored pickled cucumber on a potato chip to perfection? and just think of the other important, productive things that could have been done with those hours.
maybe i'm getting ahead of myself. more simply, i'd love to ask this guy what the inspiration was behind creating these chips. maybe it was his grandfather's dying wish to see these produced and marketed by pringles. maybe it was the result of a stimulating conversation that was had while smoking a joint (more likely). maybe pringles overheard that lays had this recipe in the works and assigned the project to some guy in order to get it out on the market before lays. but whatever the inspiration was, these extreme screamin' dill pickle pringles are out there, and i hope that guy is proud.
that guy made it.
I'm sure he was proud...
ReplyDeleteUntil he saw Doritos Midnight Taco and All Nighter Cheeseburger at his local 7/11, then he knew, in a way clearer and more profound than he had ever felt, that his life had been a waste, that Extreme Screamin' Dill Pickle had been nothing but a distraction, a willful self-deception, and that now he had no choice but to hang up his lab coat, shelve his protractor, and walk off into the trees where the nights would be cold and lonely, but at least the moss and ferns would his forgive his failures.
