  • A rumor that a woman is suing the snack food brand Pringles, claiming its unique cylindrical packaging "discriminates against those with 'fuller arms' and those with beautiful curves," circulated online in early January 2025. The full claim, originally posted to Facebook (archived), reads: Woman from York says she is SUING Pringles after claiming the packaging discriminates against those with 'fuller arms' and those with beautiful curves. Joy Ryde-Myaz, 42 said: 'Fifty six times I bought Pringles last year and not a single time was I able to get to the crisp at the bottom'. She continued: 'I've never had a problem with other varieties of crisp. Enough is enough'. Variations of the rumor spread on Instagram (archived) and X (archived) as well. Some readers seemed to interpret the rumor as fact. However, there was no evidence that a woman named Joy Ryde-Myaz was suing Pringles, and no reputable news outlet reported on the claim. Rather, the rumor about a Pringles lawsuit originated with Wakefield News — a Facebook page that describes its output as humorous or satirical in nature. The "Intro" section of the page reads, "A news page for people who like a laugh. Nothing on this page is serious. Parody account." The fictional story spread after Pringles rolled out a new product in late 2024, Pringles Mingles, that comes packaged in a more traditional bag rather than the cylinder the brand is known for. Snopes has addressed similar satirical claims of made-up lawsuits in the past, including assertions that a woman sued her sperm donor for child support, that a TikTok star sued her parents for being born and that Elon Musk planned on "suing the pants off" comedian Kathy Griffin. For background, here is why we alert readers to rumors created by sources that call their output humorous or satirical.
