So I finally broke down and ordered from Big C website, so I can avoid humping sixes of Scheweppes back to my crib. Toss three in my pack and there is room for nothing else, plus I end up buying pastries and steamed buns and shu mai its a pain. Id rather go once a week or so to get bread and eggs and cheese and tomatoes etc, so as to avoid the Insane cooked food pushers and having to make two trips.

 

So I ordered like 1500B of Schweeps and Chang and Buttwipe and Tipco and all the stuff thats heavy. Delivery today between 12-2. They call me yesterday, we have no Tomato juice, ok dude, give me another Pomelo juice then. Oh we have no Knorrs Chicken Jok, OK gime a pork. Etc.

 

Of course, today no one shows. After two hours on the chat line, they are sorry, they will have to deliver tomorrow.

 

Fine, I had to do laundry, clean house, work on video, etc, so I wasnt going anywhere today (although I couldnt take my after lunch nap)...

 

And while Im waiting, I crack open a cylinder of Pringles Double Cheese I found at Max Value on sale. Double Cheese! 35 baht. I havent had a pringle in months. You know how much I was look forward to just admiring a double cheese pringle and feeling that satisfying crunch.

 

All the mofs were crumbs. Undamaged packed, but crumbs. Not a whole Pringle in the Bunch. They came from Malaysis for god sakes its 400 klicks away by truck. We used to get PERFECT PRINGLES in Alaska for god sakes that would come up on barges through storms in the Gulf of Alaska, and all I get is crumbly Pringles here.

 

Not a good day. Ill go to Spasso.

What's wrong with the buttshower? Alaskans don't know the water is warm here?????

 

You can bring a full cart of shoppings to the tuktuk's and they bring it home.

I was feeling your pain, about the mangled reconstituted cheese flavored potato powder (Pringles).  Then realized there was no chip dip or sour creme involved.  So you lost me....

A Pringle must be admired alone for it's perfect artificiality without real food like dip to ruin it. Sometimes I just like to stack and restack them into piles before consumption!

He could make a dip & spoon/fork the broken Pringles through it like a breakfast cereal.....

Yeah, I was just kidding about the dip or sc.  But 3 perfectly stacked is optimal snacking porn.

One can always spot the newbies straight away.

Too easy.

Welcome to Thailand...... LOL .......

Try to NOT EXPECT anything 'good', Perfect, 'in proper order', 'same as at home' or especially the Gov't, or 'unbroken pringles' Here in Thailand and just concentrate on the other things that are 'on offer' here......... AND YOU WILL BE A MUCH HAPPIER PERSON (visitor).......

Many of the 'Thai girls' from 'Issan' can surely help you get over the Pringles and 'Online ordering'...........

You just have to sort out your 'Priorities'.........

Have you not learned to gently shake and rotate ? If there is no noise, you buy, if it sounds like a maraca's, try again, unbroken make no noise !! buying over the net or phone is asking for the crumbs to be given ????

Why. Because my Pringles were busted? It's the first time I have ever had Pringles in Thailand. They didn't even have Pringles her 20 years ago

at home you walk to the supermarket, grab them off the shelf, bring them home and they are perfect. I would expect a fancy-looking condo grocery store with all sorts of Japanese stuff would have had perfectly arranged Pringles. Now I'm going to have to look like an idiot shaking them like a bunch of maracas

Your 'Keyword as i see it'............. Is 'at home'..........

I also know of a few things that are better at home, but I forget them while i am in Thailand........ THIS IS NOT HOME ---- THIS IS THAILAND.........

iF you like PRINGLES AND HOME 'BETTER' what is keeping you here in Thailand................. Go home to feel happy........ Or love it here as the rest of us do......... 

The only reservation I have is what the present Gov't is doing to the poor Thai people....   Pitiful...... Much more so than 'crusned Pringles'........

Dude what does a simple bitch about crushed Pringles have to do with the political situation and whether I'm happy here. I'm surely not going to let crushed Pringles cause me  to flee screaming back to the arms of Uncle Sam, nor am I going to use it as a metaphor for the poor Thai people supposedly groaning under the boot of oppression.

 

It's like those double button toilets, gogo girls with shoes too big and a couch so low I have to use a hoist to get my fat ass up. Now I know....this is Thailand and you have to shake the Pringles. Lighten up for God's sake, my toungue is in my cheek. ,????

Talk about first world problems...

All Pringles are present and perfect in the First World. Thats what makes a country First World.

If crumbly Pringles and a grocery delivery that did not show up are your problems in life, then life is really good. Always look at the bright side of life.

You must embrace the bumgun my friend. Happy ring and you feel like a king.

You got Pringles for cheap???  I gave up on most Western snacks because I didn't want them enough to pay import prices for them.

If Pringles can ruin your day, you are destined for some hard times, not just here, but anywhere... good luck.
