An American Tragedy

Pringles plant shut down by tornado; 6-week supply remains

SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER STAFF

Once you pop you can't stop, Pringles' slogan cautions.

Well, you may have to.

The tornado that ripped through Jackson, Tenn., Sunday shut down the Pringles plant there -- the only one in North America -- and Procter & Gamble has temporarily suspended all U.S. distribution of the snack food.

There's an estimated six-week supply of Pringles already in stores or en route. But if you get the munchies, you might want to stock up.

Procter & Gamble doesn't know when it will start shipping the chips again and, according to the company, people sure do eat a lot of them: 275 million a day.

The only other plant that makes Pringles, which are named after a street in Ohio, is just outside Brussels, Belgium.

They're GREAT when you're on the road: you can pack yer snacks in advance and not worry about crushed stuff.

I just packed my son's snacks n' stuff for his trip to Washington DC; included are the all-too-precious Pringles and the nacho cihps packed in the triangle-shaped Pringle-like can. the bus could run over his luggage and his snacks would still be safe.

I think I'm gonna print out that Pringles story and encourage him to offer his Pringles to kids jonsin' for their salty goodness for a dime a chip.

Hey, I'm a good parental influence.
