Of course, this explained the many years of husky clothes, but then again I was a bookworm during those years and my idea of exercise was doing 100 reps of turning the pages of Choose Your Own Adventure books.<\/p>\n<p>Although the nickname didn&#8217;t carry on into college, the spirit of The Human Garbage Disposal continued and evolved. In the college cafeteria, where food was served buffet-style, my friends mixed several foods together and dared me to eat it.<\/p>\n<p>Mixed vegetables, marinara sauce, corn chowder, and strawberry ice cream, all mixed into a bowl? <\/p>\n<p>No problem.<\/p>\n<p>Pepsi, mashed potatoes, apple pie, mustard, and croutons, in a cup?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll drink that!<\/p>\n<p>Puking never happened, but gagging always did.<\/p>\n<p>However, after college, The Human Garbage Disposal almost completely disappeared. There were brief moments when it would appear when I was dared to eat a piece of candy accidentally dropped on the floor or scarf down jalapenos with hot sauce at Mexican restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Impulsive Buy reader Damon <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/?p=200#comment-2767\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dared me<\/a> to eat a can of Olestra-laced Fat Free Pringles. After what happened to me with the Olestra-ted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/?p=200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ruffles Light<\/a>, I knew this might be something only the Human Garbage Disposal could accomplish.<\/p>\n<p>Fat Free Pringles aren&#8217;t a new product. I believe they were one of the first products with Olestra. Ever since they were released, I&#8217;ve never really had the urge to try them because they were twice the price of regular Pringles. Thanks to you, Damon, I now had the urge to try them.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with Pringles is the fact that once you pop, you can&#8217;t stop. There have been several occasions when I have eaten an entire can of Pringles in one sitting. This time didn&#8217;t turn out to be one of those occasions, because I&#8217;m now older, wiser, and I thought I was running out of toilet paper.<\/p>\n<p>So while watching VH1&#8217;s <i>Remaking: Vanilla Ice<\/i>, I popped open a can of Fat Free Pringles and began chomping it down chip-by-chip. <\/p>\n<p>I also began to recreate those dance moves Vanilla Ice used to do, like that one move where he would just hump the floor and the other one that involved him shaking his head violently like bobblehead doll, while doing the Running Man.<\/p>\n<p>Before I knew it, I had gone through half the can of Fat Free Pringles and solidified my title as, \u201cWorst Dancer Ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t believe I ate half the can, because the Fat Free Pringles didn&#8217;t taste very good. It didn&#8217;t even come close to tasting like regular Pringles. Heck, it didn&#8217;t even come close to tasting like Reduced Fat Pringles.<\/p>\n<p>Despite eating half the can in one sitting and finished up the rest of the Fat Free Pringles the next day, I surprisingly didn&#8217;t find myself spending a lot of time on the crapper. Actually, all I experienced was some bad gas.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if my time spent digesting the Ruffles Light potato chips made my stomach stronger or if I got a dud can of Fat Free Pringles, but either way that can of Fat Free Pringles was definitely my first AND last can.<\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> Original Fat Free Pringles<br \/>\n<b>Purchase Price:<\/b> $1.99<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 3 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> No exploding anus.
