Ireland Loves Pringles

I did not realize...

that Ireland loves the Pringles chip. I visited Ireland a month ago and was astonished to find that Pringles are the favorite snack of the Irish. No more than a novelty item in the States, mainly due to their catchy "Once you pop you can't stop" slogan, the Pringles are finding a home in Ireland. A visited numerous pubs in Ireland (OK, I have a problem) and 95% of the establishments sold mini-cans of Pringles behind the bar. Some places even had vending machines full of Pringles. What is the deal?? The sad fact is that I couldn't get a straight answer from anyone. Is this a vast conspiracy from the Pringles Corporation? I think I have stumbled upon something truly amazing...
