What do you do with your Pringles potato crisps/chips besides eating them ? We use them as fire lighters ....
They are 30% oil and fat and catch alight and burn instantly.......I can't see how they are fit for human consumption.... Do you know of any other food products that can be used other then for eating..... . . . ?

Margarine usually tops butter when it comes to heart health.
Margarine is made from vegetable oils, so it contains unsaturated "good" fats — polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. These types of fats help reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad," cholesterol when substituted for saturated fat.
Butter, on the other hand, is made from animal fat, so it contains more saturated fat.
But not all margarines are created equal — some margarines contain trans fat. In general, the more solid the margarine, the more trans fat it contains. So stick margarines usually have more trans fat than tub margarines do.
Trans fat, like saturated fat, increases blood cholesterol levels and the risk of heart disease. In addition, trans fat lowers high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or "good," cholesterol levels. So skip the stick and opt for soft or liquid margarine instead.
Look for a spread that doesn't have trans fats and has the least amount of saturated fat. When comparing spreads, be sure to read the Nutrition Facts panel and check the grams of saturated fat and trans fat. Limit the amount you use to limit the calories.
If you have high cholesterol, check with your doctor about using spreads that are fortified with plant stanols and sterols, such as Benecol and Promise Activ, which may help reduce cholesterol levels.
Not on our boiler.....it's condensing and everything is electronic ......any electrical fault and no gas gets through to light it....plus with out stripping out the burner unit it's impossible to get near to the pilot igniters....
Obviously, I was referring to pilots that require manual lighting/relighting. My oven has an electronic igniter, but my furnace and hot water heater need to be lit manually and can be difficult to reach, so the pasta works well.
Sorry ...I was just honing my skills in being pedantic .......and now I'm pasta caring as our boilers gone out for the evening...l:( Hehe

That is because they are deep fried. If they are only 30% that is better than most chips which have over half of their calories are fat at 150 cal/serving and 90 being fat.
Most all chrisps/chips in England have far less fat than 30%. ....you can watch the fat run out of Pringles as they burn..... We refuse to eat then ever since we relalised just how bad they really are.....
Realy..they should never be allowed to be sold.....
No government bans such foods as they rake in to much profit from the manufactures of them......
Same as with smoking.....revenue from them are billions pounds.....and the English government will never ever ban them ...
Yes they are Anne any very popular still I think....I didn't know they were that old.....I just checked and they were first made in America in 1968.... It was 1991 in England when they were first sold though....:(
