I am sure some special interest group got a federal grant of some sort to waste on that. I imagine there is a report of the findings, costing probably many thousands of dollars, somewhere. But no one really cares so no one read it. Just make something up. Did she trip over a chip and break an arm or something?

OMG I have a fear of pringles but want to know what the name of it is. It started when I was young because I chocked on a pringle and ever since I have been so scared of them. I want a name for it because I know I m crazy but having a name for it would make me feel better :)

"it's called caesopopophobia, literally translated as meaning 'fear that once you pop, you won't be able to stop.' the fear usually stems from an initial experience wherein the individual could not stop consuming pringles brand potato chips and eventually became very ill. over-consumption of pringles usually leads to intense bloating, excessively greasy fingertips, and unhealthy amounts of salt in the bloodstream."

i dont know if you are being serious or not....but there really ARE people with weird phobias like that. i know of a woman who has a phobia of tin foil, and a guy who is deathly afraid of mayonaise. also, someone who has a phobia about man hole covers.
the mind is a complex thing!!!!!!!!

This probably falls under sitophobia, the fear of eating, or cibophobia, the fear of food.
