Kiser’s Cranium: It’s a random thought, as many are inside my head, but Pringles Suspicious Stew chips are addictive.

- I tried them for the first time, and while they’re not the best-tasting Pringles, I’ve never sat down and eaten a can of chips in one setting until now.
- I still don’t know why.
