June 10, 2005 Scoop Security Ever want to put a padlock on your Pringles? Do you think about wrapping chains around your Cheetos? Snack theft is no joking matter. Actually, scratch that. It is totally a joking matter. Whether it's a girlfriend, a fellow struggling actor or just some random from Craig's List who's helping you split the rent, roommates are a reality for L.A.'s real estate challenged. And if you are part of the multiple-resident contingent, you know how the line between what's yours and what's theirs gets blurred. Forget about keeping your silverware separate … whose socks are these? Take heart. At least your ice cream is protected. Bring some Fort Knox to your fridge by grabbing a Euphori-Lock pint protector from none other than pint-meisters Ben & Jerry. Gimmicky? You betcha. Effective? Probably. Let's face it, if your housemate is willing to take a steak knife to the cardboard bottom to bypass the combination lock, you've got bigger issues that sharing groceries. We just wanted to pass this along because it's Friday and it's been a long week and we could go for a pint right about now. If only we could remember the combination. The Euphori-Lock is available for $5.50 at the Ben and Jerry's Web site.
