    Default Hikers Beware


    Interesting article I came across on Craigs List:

    "DO NOT EAT PRINGLES FAT FREE POTATO CHIPS. THEY
    WILL GREASE YOU’RE ASS.

    Don't even ******ing say a word. I like potato chips, and can't eat them very much or I'll get fat. I tried out these Pringles Fat-Free chips because they were super low-cal. BBQ flavor. the ******. The can said they had 70 calories per serving, which meant the whole can had 490 calories inside total. I could munch through a can in a day with my lunch, dinner, etc. So I got several cans, and began enjoying one a day for the past four days. But what they dont ******ing tell you...Except in tiny print you cant read without a ******ing electron microscope...is that the primary ingredient is something called "olean" which I have since learned is Latin for "Unwashable & Indestructible Ass Grease." Oh Yeah. I'm not even kidding. So today, while I'm standing in the living room debating whether or not Laundry or Dishes will get done first, I get the urge to fart. I live alone, so sweet. I let the honk loose and its wrong. Something just sounded wrong. I know my own wind, and I have never farted a sound that sounded like a fart wrapped in a pillow. Oh yes, something was very wrong. I had just shat myself. But this evil olean makes ********** yourself sound almost like a regular fart, and had I not been particularly attentive, it could easily have gone unnoticed, I'm telling you. THAT's how utterly covert and evil this olean stuff is. What the ******?! What if I'd gone out to hang with friends or gone for a drive, what then? So I walk carefully to the bathroom and disrobe. before I even sit on the toilet, I wad paper and carefully wipe from the front. Sure enough, it was light brown, and had the texture of soft spackle. You ******ing Pringle bastards.
    I sat down and pushed a bit, and lo, out came a jet that I didnt even feel an urge for one minute earlier. It piled in the bowl like brown marshmallow fluff. The problem rose when I tried to wipe. I went through a whole ******ing roll of TP and could not get it all off me. So. I jumped in the shower. Yep, its gross, but it had to be done. There I stood, water pouring down, cheeks
    spread, and using my own hand to make certain I'm clean. That was when I discovered that after using my hand to wipe myself (before I soaped the area) my hand came back covered in some sort of transparent grease. It was so ******ing foul. The grease made water bead off my hand. It was tacky too, and very difficult to manage. So I grabbed the bar of soap and went to work. You ******ing Pringle bastards. The bar of soap came away coated in grease as well, and would no longer wash. I had to turn the water to hot and massage the soap for five minutes to get it to the point where I could use it again. It took me an hour to get the ******ing grease off my pucker. I shudder to think of what its doing INSIDE ME right now, but I will damned sure never eat that ***** again. ******ing Pringle bastards. This is where the joke about "anal leakage" came from. its real. ****** Pringles."

    Been there, done that ...but I didn't eat the whole can.

    Had a pretty good case of the gallopin skids the day after.

    Still like the original pringles on the trail though !!

    Chainsaw:

    Thank you, for your, shall we say, extremely detailed post.

    Very informative. As I'm on a diet at the moment, your story is worth remembering. I shall not soon forget about Fat Free Pringles.

    And I also now know what to get Warren for Christmas!!

    (Note to the humor impaired......that was a joke. I think.)

    It's not just Pringles -- the "Light" versions of Doritos, Tostitos, Ruffles, etc., are all made with Olestra and can have the same gastrointestinal effects, especially when consumed in large amounts! I can vouch for this!

    I am sitting in my classroom right now while my students are taking a test and couldn't help but laugh out loud. That's the funniest thing I've read in a long time!! My students think I'm nuts, and they're probably right.

    This isn't something new. Have you been under a rock for the last 6 years or so??????
    I thought there was even warnings on food with Olestra products about anal leakage.

    No, this isn't really new. When Olestra's effects were first discovered, they put a warning on packages saying "may cause anal leakage"! I always wondered who the ad person was that thought up that clever phrase.

    Mrs. Tango and I eat the Reduced Fat Pringles.I had
    some for lunch today.I could not find Olean or Olestra
    listed on the label(which is bi-lingual btw) so maybe I
    will be safe at her school function tonight.I remember
    when Olestra first came out that it caused distress to lots
    of folks.Sorry to hear you had a bad experience.
    Cheers,
    Oldfivetango
    Keep on keeping on.

    Footslogger-"Get Out ...are you serious ??"
    Check this site and you will find these warnings highlighted:

    Olestra causes gastrointestinal disturbances, which are sometimes severe, including diarrhea, fecal urgency, and more frequent and looser bowel movements.

    Olestra sometimes causes underwear staining associated with "anal leakage."
