And verily, did Manx hastily scribble thusly...
|Adam, I have two Canadians in my SR3 group here in
|Brisbane, Australia and they can't get enough of the
|S&V Pringles. They are truely a divine chip. If you can
|get a hold of a tube sink the couple of bucks to get
|them and give them a go, you won't regret it.
|
|FYI Salt and Vinegar Pringles come in a light blue tube.

Good to know they're sticking to the industry standard then.
Over here, we've always had a colour code.

Dark Blue: Ready Salted
Light Blue: Salt'n'Vinegar
Green: Cheese'n'Onion

Then, for some inexplicable reason which no-one understands, Walkers decided
to pull a Microsoft and change the standard, causing confusion and chaos to
crisp eaters everywhere...

(Especially the ones who didn't like Ready Salted or Cheese'n'Onion).

[Basically, they swapped the two colours round without warning]
