AUSTIN, Texas — After a Wichita Falls woman was banned from Walmart for riding around in an electric cart drinking wine from a Pringles can, some Austin residents decided to celebrate her actions by drinking wine out of a Pringles can in a Walmart parking lot.
More than 10,000 people indicated an interest and 2,000 said they would attend the “Drinking wine from a Pringles can in Walmart parking lot” event Wednesday.
However, only three people turned out, KVUE reported.
"We're gonna meet in the parking lot of this Walmart and drink wine or whatever you like from a Pringles can," the event description reads. "You wanna ride an electric scooter while you drink from a Pringles can? That's cool. You wanna sit on the tailgate of your Ford F-150? That's fine too."
Police were aware of the event but did not intervene. Police said an open container violation is a misdemeanor and comes with a $200 fine.
No one was fined.
