'Once you pop, you can’t stop’ – Man gives weird reason for stealing Pringles

A man in England has been ordered to complete a six-month drug rehabilitation programme after going on a burglary spree that saw him steal 17 tubes of Pringles - among other things.

Police in Nottinghamshire nabbed Adam Spencer in Sutton-in-Ashfield in connection with several burglaries that took place in April and May.

Adam reportedly broke into a shop in one incident and helped his sticky fingers to the Pringles.

When police finally caught up with him, he gave an interesting reason for including 17 tubes in his haul.

“Once you pop, you can't stop,” he told police, according to Sky News.

Adam is clearly a big Pringles fan because the phrase is actually taken from the brand's slogan.

Another version of the slogan is: "Once you pop, the fun don't stop."

The "fun" did stop for Adam, who was found guilty of three thefts and two burglaries.

He reportedly made off with more than £300 (R7,000) worth of products, including meat.

Adam received a six-month prison sentence, which was suspended for 12 months. He also has to pay £200 (R4,700)and has been ordered to attend a drug rehabilitation programme for six months.
