Mar 2 2009Woman Finds Old Nokia In Bag Of Chips

chip phone.jpg

Somebody's mother in Wisconsin found an old Nokia 6810 in a bag of freshly opened Clancy's Ripples. Wow, people actually still rock those old brick phones? Yes, people who work in potato chip factories do.

The phone, which didn't work, was slathered with "greasy potato-chip film" and looked like it once lived on a belt clip. "You kind of don't want chips for a while" after something like that, she said. Schweiger isn't sure what she'll do next but hopes the FDA can track down the owner of the phone.


She's glad she found the phone and not a child who might have put it in his or her mouth, she said. She's also glad the phone wasn't in a product she would have heated, she said. Schweiger doesn't know when she'll have an appetite for potato chips again, but when she does, she'll do things a little differently.

"I will never, ever eat chips out of a bag again," she said. "They will be dumped in the bowl."

Wow, could you be any less grateful? You opened a bag of chips, found a prize, and then complained about it. Congratulations, you just won the lottery! "I dunno, I'm starting to wish I'd picked different numbers...." Seriously though, are you gonna eat those?

This Bag Of Clancy's Ripple Potato Chips Needs More Nokia Phones [consumerist]

Thanks to ray and twellve, who each found a pager in a bag of steamed vegetables and were happy about it.

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW??????????

Clancy's chips have no flavor and taste like cardboard.

"She's glad she found the phone and not a child"
How small would that kid have to be!
Oh, it's "She's glad she found the phone and not a child who might have put it in his or her mouth, she said."
So what if a child put it in their mouth. They're hardly gonna swallow it.

Now we're talking about service! If the quality isn't satisfactory enough,they make sure you've a direct call with the factory! American product??

Can you hear me now?

Good!

Hey, Stupid! A woman in San Jose tried that scam with a finger and chili and she was better at it. Oh, yeah.... nearly forgot.... she's in PRISON now.

Trace the ESN. Bet it doesn't come back to any employee of the company - EVER. It's hers or someone from her town. Anyone want to put $20 on it?

You know all my favorite dishes.So. . . .I'd expect tomorrow a great dinner.

Where's my Genie in a bottle? I like pig brains in fresh blood.

I call hoax... Unless those chips were packaged 8-10 years ago...

I once found a vagina on a female

If it were a hoax, wouldn't it be like a rat or something? Or another finger? Why a phone?..,that's kinda random.

So.....while we're all waiting for the next post......

How was your weekend? Anything special happen?

@17

my weekend SUCKED!!!!

That doesn't top the one where a woman from Iowa found a bloody clit-ring in the box of the vibrator she purchased on ebay. Now... Does that tell you something?

nom nom oo a prize nom nom nom

My evil ex-girlfriend found me on facebook today

Hooray for me!

MY FIRST PHONE!

maybe it's my actual first phone.

once i found a bike in a bag of pretzels, it was rad to the power of sick but you dont want to know how many shamwows it took to clean it, i then called the company and complained because the chain snapped, i demanded a new bike for emotional problems

All that *and* a bag of chips?

@24
That's fawnay!
And a bag of chips. That's right.

Man, a phone in a bag of chips! Nothing better than that, except maybe a golden ticket to Paw Tucket Pat's Brewery in a beer.

Here's my 2 cents, damnit, now I'm broke:

A phone contains elctronic chips and a bag of chips contains an electronic phone, ironic?
Should have taken the SIM card out and prank call everyone in the contact list.
Did dthe bag mention it has a lot of minerals in the nutrition info?
Could have been the detonator for a bomb.
Same phone as in COD 4!!! Meaning it came from Russia or the Middle East.
It's the phone that became a robot in Transformers! It's where I learned Nokia is from Finland, where the marmaid girl will move to.

And just like this post, that incident is soooo random to the power of wtf?

Is that my phone??
I loved that phone. It opened up into a full QWERTY keyboard, and was easier to type on than a blackberry or iphone.
And now apparently it comes with free chips!

You'd think right when she picked up the bag she'd notice something was wrong.


I do believe that phone weighs more than the entire bag of chips.


She'd have noticed, unless she's retarded.

I think this was just someone celebrating Darwin Day.

"She's glad she found the phone and not a child who might have put it in his or her mouth, she said."

Any kid that would chew and choke on a cell phone is no kid of mine. I would stand there watching as the little bloke struggled to breathe and I would be happy that I had another chance at furthering evolution. But seriously though, did it come with minutes? Because I would call people. Maybe set up a date with that guy who held a person hostage with that Sega gun.

The 6810 is a great phone. I have a 6800, it's almost the same (but no bluetooth). The 6820/6822 are smaller/more modern, but the keyboard is likewise smaller.

The 6810, man, that was the peak.

So, I'm completely confused. I had a 6800. But in my mind it was in like 1997. Then I go on the interwebz and discover it had to be like 2005. this is most disturbing. please someone report on the Nokia phone i had in 1997 that was _just like this one_.

Yep, the first thought in my mind upon finding a cellphone unexpectedly would *definitely* be "Oh my god, a cellphone...how unsanitary!"

Also, I wash my hands at least five times after making every call. This is to keep me from getting HAND CANCER from the deadly CANCER RAYS from my CANCER PHONE.

Pretty much everything in this article makes me facepalm...

(Although if we find a belt clip, a pair of pants, a shirt, and underwear in subsequent bags of chips, I, for one, will be very well-pleased._

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was buying car insurance from a pasty faced redhead, and got carried away when she started talking about saving Money.

First they find god's eye in space, now someone finds his cellphone.

I hope next time they find his driver's license. We really need to see the guys face.

Hi mom!

"Quick somebody get that box of Cracker Jack and all cereal boxes out her home, she don't do prizes."

THIRTY-EIGHTH!

It's actually not that bad of a phone. has a full keyboard and all.

Maddox claimed it was better than the iPhone on his site. (thebestpageintheuniverse.com)

Los Angeles, Ca.


Fire Chief Johnathan Cortez allegedly locked his family up in a room in the Lancaster Fire Department and then proceeded to set the building ablaze before standing outside of the building and then setting himself on fire.


He reportedly set a conference for the other fire fighters scheduled for that morning, and then killed them all with an automatic weapon before starting the blaze. Bystanders said that he had no emotion in his eyes before committing suicide. Eyewitness Shirley Wilson stated, "it was the most frightening thing I have ever seen. He walked out, soaked in blood, and walked in circles aimlessly for about three minutes, and then just set himself on fire. There was no - no anger, no sadness, nothing, he was blank.

Finding a mobile phone in a bag of chips lol how stupid were the manufacturers its seem there is no quality checks made :-) .... i wont be eating chips for quite sometime now after reading this :-)

Thats right!

Be glad it wasn't a rat or grasshopper chopped to pieces in a can of veggies!
My job was to take out those critters before it got canned!

17- My weekend sucked ass. But my week is getting a bit better. How was yours?

Clancy's Ripples? With a name like that, she's probably lucky she didn't find a pack of half smoked cigarattes and an empty beer bottle in there.

this may be lucky but the thought that what you are eating is not clean and may have some other things inside it id really a big deal. If that was some other kind of food that would be microwaved, good luck then..

Whadda doucher.

I totally would have licked the grease off that shiznit and continued mowing my way through that bag of chippies.

@40: WTF?

I still use the Nokia 6800. It's simply the finest handset ever made.

No camera.
No touchscreen.
Real QWERTY keyboard.
Nearly indestructable.

Your iPhone makes you weak.


Zoltan.

My 6800a just recently started giving me problems (only intermittently picks up a signal). Definitely got my money's worth and am loathe to think of what piece of crap I'll end up with that will last not even half as long through all of the use and abuse I put this one through.

"Ohmygawd! Your phone is like a transformer!" - Some T-Mobile rep.

I'm going to a nice HTC handset like the G1 or the HTC Excalibur (T-mobile dash) and I hope it does half as good as the 6800.

Yeah people still freak out when I open the phone to use the keyboard.

Zol-ol-ol-tan

@14 - i still have my nokia from this time, and i think anyone working at a potato chip factory hasn't had the money to buy a new phone since they bought this one at a yard sale 5 years ago

@29 - agreed..that stupid bitch

@32 - internal antennas didn't even come out until 2000, think again

@49 - agreed

@40 - WTF? The Cell by Stephen King or some shit?

@ ALL of you freaking out about sanitary issues - you do know other humans handle all of your food (humans who don't always wash their hands or wear their air masks) and that it's basically a guarantee that pests come in contact with all of that food..STFU about it, or make yourself a vag and get on up to the farmer's market for some organic goodness

dude. I totally rocked that phone a la 5 years ago.

omg, CrackerJack Prize!!=D

Probably fake - anybody can claim anything. I could just as well have a coke bottle open and say i found a 100 usd bill in there..

Yes, absolutely right, but my old Nokia is ok
