Be honest, Pringles, it’s not really going to be “a whole new experience”, is it? It’s going to be remarkably akin to the familiar dismal experience of eating a bunch of Pringles. Basically, it’s Pringles Gourmet all over again.
For an alternative, less zesty approach to marketing, check out this zinger from a hoarding in Pimlico.

It’s even better if you imagine it being said by Alan Partridge.
Bus drivers

Not that all London bus drivers constantly drive like unbelievable pricks or anything, but here are two buses that have jammed themselves in so closely in a narrow street that the driver of the bus on the right is standing at the other end trying to direct his colleague as he inches his vehicle around. Meanwhile his passengers can’t get off and make their own way to Victoria station, just up the road, as he’s not allowed to let them off anywhere other than a bus stop or he gets six points on his licence. And all this is before Boris has got his teeth into running Transport for London. Good times!
