You no longer have to be judged for drinking wine from a Pringles can. An Etsy shop is selling tumblers with the Pringles logo printed on them. After a woman in Texas made headlines for getting banned from a Walmart when she was accused of riding around their parking lot on an electric shopping cart, drinking wine from a Pringles can, the idea for a cleaner wine container came about... “Great for your friends or moms that endure long trips in Walmart and need to drink wine from a Pringles can,” it reads.

Here's the Walmart story - https://www.timesrecordnews.com/story/news/crime/2019/01/11/wfpd-woman-barred-walmart-after-she-allegedly-caught-drinking-wine-pringles-can-while-riding-electri/2549573002/

"Officer Jeff Hughes, a WFPD spokesperson, said police were told by dispatchers that they were looking for a woman wearing a blue jacket and black pants. The woman was reportedly riding on an electric shopping cart more commonly used for people with physical limitations. Officers were also told she was drinking wine from a Pringle's can. Hughes said the reporting party said the suspect had been riding around in the store's parking lot since 6:30 a.m. while drinking the alcoholic beverage. When officers arrived, they found the woman in a nearby restaurant, at which point she was notified that she had been barred from the Walmart location."

I have a sippy cup for my wine, perfect for those outdoor HOA meetings.

I actually prefer stemless wine glasses. They’re harder to knock over. ;)

This happened at a Wal Mart in Wichita Falls, Texas. They have already designated a day of honor to drink wine from a Pringle can in North Wichita Falls to the Red River. I know cus’ I got an invite.

People have been drinking wine out of a box for a long time. Pringles come in a round box. Makes sense to me.

Yep. I have explained that so many times. “I’m broke and can’t find any work, and can’t afford education”. So look around you find a need, start a business and fill it. Most times you can start small with very little investment and grow it. My wife and I did this several times. :)

Great point, lol. I don’t drink any more but wasn’t the most graceful person when I did.
