Pringles Jingles

 Pringles carton mini steel drum

Someone gave me a tubular carton of Pringles today at an exhibition opening. These are the Devil's work, not only being addictive to eat, but now the new cartons can be used to make up a percussion orchestra.

This is because their bottom metal end base lids have now been made slightly concave and stamped out in tiny shaped zones in the manner of a steel drum. Now when you tap on them with your finger tips or using a couple of pencils, each zone emits a different note.

A group of Pringles fans can form their own band.

The new Pringles Jingles cartons are slightly more expensive due to increased production costs but with their matching musical themed labels they're sure to be a big success and in great demand.

       I'm confused... are you saying Pringles cans already come this way now, or is the concave, stamped design your invention?

       I'm also a Twiglets addict esp the Marmite favoured ones I get as a present every Christmas. I'm sure there's a hakfbaked Twiglets idea lying in wait too.

       Twiglets come in a foil lined tubular carton with a metal lid base and a red plastic lid top. This packaging makes them also suitable for mini steel drum treatment.

       //disgusting foods some people inexplicably eat// I didn't think they were usually categorised as "food". Have the definitions been expanded recently? How do you define "food" such that the Pringles are included but the cardboard carton is not?

       If your idea is to pre-stamp the steel or aluminum bases of cans, tubes, or rectangular cracker tins to create notes, I’m all in. Let’s get all the use out of these disposable items that we can.
