My cats are protesting though, because when I sit in the lounge at least one of them wants to sit on my lap....but I have to go to the fridge every 2 hours for my drops & they hate being pushed off!

For all those who said it must have been painful, I can assure you it was! Thanks for the idea of putting them between slices of bread or wearing goggles, if I decide to eat them again.
Glad to hear it is improving Twink.

Ouch - poor Twink - who would have thought Pringles could be so dangerous. I hope it clears up soon for you ... and all those cats!

Re: I had a Pringle splinter in my eye!

Oo twink hope your eye gets better soon, however, here are a few suggestions for your future pringles cravings
1.. wear eye protection, tool station do a range of safety eye wear
2, ear defenders, the noise of constant crisp munching can take its toll on your hearing
3 wear safety boots in case you drop a carton on your toes,
3 Finally, gloves, who knows what damage you can do to your hands with the endless popping of Pringle lids, not to mention razor sharp shards of Pringle going in your fingers,
This protection, and suitable safety warning signs displayed in suitable locations, should ensure you can enjoy your Pringle habit in complete safety from now on..

Thank you for your suggestions Primus they were funny.

On a more serious note though children could easily get tiny pieces on their fingers, and you know what kids are like, they don't wash hands before rubbing their eyes.
I would hate to think of a child suffering this type of pain or being rushed to A&E for uncomfortable eye treatment...just because they ate a Pringle!

Re: I had a Pringle splinter in my eye!

This is very sad Twinks, and I would definitely be writing the pringle company about it.......but wait, they may send you a shipment of "free" pringles. Don't eat them!

I will send them all to OFF, just to see if any of you lot can manage to get a crisp splinter in your eye whilst eating them!

I am wondering if I am the only person in the world who got an eye infection from eating Pringles.

Re: I had a Pringle splinter in my eye!

Hope your feeling better Twinks. I gree with Annie in that you should sue them. Nowhere on the package does it state that placing shards of Pringles in your eye may cause damage to your health. A gross oversight (no pun intended)!
