It's bad enough that last weeks tornados blew away a bunch of homes, now the news is even worse....the Pringles plant was hit! If you're going to build a Pringles WiFi antenna...you'd better get your Pringles can quick. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/121159_tb109.html Friday, May 9, 2003 Pringles plant shut down by tornado; 6-week supply remains SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER STAFF Once you pop you can't stop, Pringles' slogan cautions. Well, you may have to. The tornado that ripped through Jackson, Tenn., Sunday shut down the Pringles plant there -- the only one in North America -- and Procter & Gamble has temporarily suspended all U.S. distribution of the snack food. There's an estimated six-week supply of Pringles already in stores or en route. But if you get the munchies, you might want to stock up. Procter & Gamble doesn't know when it will start shipping the chips again and, according to the company, people sure do eat a lot of them: 275 million a day. The only other plant that makes Pringles, which are named after a street in Ohio, is just outside Brussels, Belgium
