MAY CUT HANDS OR WRISTS!" on the containers.<br /><br />One time, we received a big burnt ball of Doritos in a bag. Frito-Lay sent us a bunch of free chips, but not a lifetime supply.<br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119827816698009731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080299065441712068.post-51009716394098723502015-11-24T10:46:16.960-06:002015-11-24T10:46:16.960-06:00i wonder when they stopped putting that ridged lin...i wonder when they stopped putting that ridged liner in the can? seems like it was an integral part of keeping them from getting crushed during shipment. and oh yeah, i remember that sharp edge... i wonder, if he got a lifetime supply, if he is still getting them and if he's sick to death of them. i imagine some guy out there giving them away every chance he gets, haha "oh no, it's a gift from george... i WONDER what it could be, sigh..."FrankOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316107158387079660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080299065441712068.post-47699833561891310082015-11-23T23:52:26.518-06:002015-11-23T23:52:26.518-06:00WoW!!

I totally forgot about that ridged liner those Pringles cans had inside! <br /><br />Oh, and another thing about Pringles cans in the '70s...remember how they had that "pop-top" lid with the little hoop/ring you had to stick your fingers in to peel the lid off, exposing that exquisitely razor-sharp edge that would totally cut your wrists and forearm if you weren't careful. <br /><br />If I remember right, one of the kids in my elementary school actually *did* cut his wrists from the inside of those cans, and his parents filed a lawsuit. In return, I think he got like, a lifetime supply of Pringles or something (or some crazy number of cases, I can't recall). At first we were like, "aw cool!" but then we realized that he just got more chances to cut himself, lol.
