Guinness and Pringles in record mashup

Here at Slashfood we love to discover outsized food items that garner Guinness records and, of course, we love to snack. So I was glad to learn that  Pringles now has a way for snackers to keep up with the latest records.

In a cross-promotion with the 2006 edition of Guinness World Records Pringles has come up with salty snacks featuring questions such as "The lightest 'normal' or non-atrophied brain on record weighed how much?" (answer: 1 lb. 8 oz.).  Lest I forget, these brain teasers are printed on the chips in blue dye. Apparently placing text on salty snacks is old news for Pringles they've been doing it for two years.

Either I haven't been down the snack food aisle in a while, or I took commercial food with messages and/or logos off my radar after eating my first, and last, McGriddle. There's even an area on the Pringles  web site asking for suggested messages. I'd happily pop until I couldn't stop if they released a pack with chips reading "Impeach Bush."

Right or wrong, Joe, picking a political fight in a food blog is just tacky. Another previously fun site falls prey to the endless ranting on both sides of the aisle.

So, yeah, thanks for that. Now that completely off-topic political bashing is apparently fully endorsed by the staff, I expect the flamers will feel quite welcome here at the expense of everybody who comes here to read about and discuss, you know, food.
