View Full Version : packet of crisps

Im helping my brother with his school project and he needs some DATA regarding peoples crisp eating habits.
Did u know in spain they have crisps called bum? Thats a fact. 100%.

I like:

in a random order

1.) tangy toms (10p pikey crisps)
2.) twiglets
3. wotsits
4) chipsticks (salt and vinegar)

im not keen on people who like kettle crisps and think they are so "morish" with their "friendchips"

kettle chips should come with a health warning. if you get greedy with em you're liable to slice up your mouth.

i wish that the "clear form" button in the thread page was not there...i keep erasing posts thinking that i am going to preview them!

some years ago, probably some time in 1996, i was on one of my visits to brighton where my girlfriend at the time studied at university, and stayed in hove. we were walking along the high st and happened upon one mr Vogel. he was eating a packet of spicy tomato flavoured wheat crunchies, which i'm sure you will all agree is the best flavour of wheat crunchies on the market. i like them alot. during a brief chat i ate one or two of the aforementioned wheat crunchies, before we all went on our merry way. this was good, it's nice to get something you like for free, and i like spicy tomato flavoured wheat crunchies. i ate a packet of these last week.

phil, i do happen to like kettle chips, especially rosemary and garlic, and crushed black peppercorn flavours. i am in agreement with you regarding both chipsticks and twiglets, however. i like the way my digits are coated in a marmite like substance at the end of a packet of twiglets, it's satisfying to lick the tangy coating off.

i don't trust those 10p crisps, i think they make you hyperactive and give you cancer.

McCoys salt and vinegar all the way. Kettle chips are well tasty but eating a whole packet tends to leave your fingers covered in this napalm like residue which is almost imposible to get rid of. Hint 'o curry Dorito's are quite tasty as well though, it's spicy nik naks but in dorito form.

my brother isnt doing germany hes only doing england.

My brother got nicked for stealing willy fogg stickers in spain. but the guy from the shop let him off and actually gave him a sticker album. thng was the stickers were free in the first place, but you had to buy some yogut.

spicy tomato wheetos are nice, but i only see them in grab bag size.

also what you said about red mill snaks was not that nice really. a) why would they give you cancer? and why would they make you any more hyperactive then other crisp? but i though you must be have been having little joke on my expense. which is fair enough.

no phil, i wasn't having a joke at your expense. i was having a bit of a joke though. i do think those products contain some pretty suspect chemicals that don't do you too much good. a friend of mine would buy 3 packs of these things for his lunch when we were at school...he was a bit mental, don't know if it was the space raiders or whatever they're called.

that made me laugh phil. you must have a very good memory. i don't even remember going to art college at any time in my life, or making a fibreglass jeremy beadle hand, and i've certainly never sold anything to cv, nor vice versa, at least not directly, i assume he would have indirectly received funds that were once in my possession through the purchase of records in the mid 90s. in fact the only direct transaction i remember would be the aformentioned spicy tomato flavoured wheat crunchies. an inspired question though, did you make it up or was the idea borrowed?

Space Raiders were godly, the pickled onions ones anyway. Don't know how they managed it but they tasted much better than any of the 30p packets of crisps.

I think the crisp manufacturers have perfected the art of frying slices of chemical flavourings - then coating them in a monomolecular dusting of potato powder - so they can still call them crisps...

phill - i love your humanitarian threads the best - this is what i mean by 'everyman', so this is my view -
i only ate crisps when i was a kid, and my mum wasnt looking, which was all day at school, so i used to nip out to the 'cabin' which was as close as you can get to a caravan without wheels which sold shit to the kids and by lots of those 5p (now 10p) bags, top 3 are
1. chutny 'outer spacers' (defunkt) but reinvented as a band on skint
2. pickled onion 'monster munch' the trick was to get someone and go - hey look at this its like a jumbo eyelash, they'd hold it up to their eye and hey presto, salt and vinegar flavour bang in the eyeball, all teary and rather funny, as you can imagine ...
3.salt'n'viniger 'french fries' but they had to be the old style 'skinnies'
i hope this is of help to your young sibling
and phill - stay cool!

why? do u want to have sex with me?

please form an orderly cue, and my assistant will call your name for interview....u need to bring with you:

your your entire sexual history,
a urine sample. (we will be taking some samples for the laboratory to check for STD's)
if you pass the first phase of the selection process, you will be invited to attend the second phase.
you will be asked intimate questions designed to weed out the weak and feeble, and bigotted or perverted.
we will also ask you to drop your pants, and cough, and possibly even raise an erection to determine if you are compatible with our client.
the ability to prevent ejaculation for long periods of time would be highly favoured, and some knowledge of tantra an advantage, although some training can be provided.

only emotional stable, and open-minded over 30's need apply.
a 20cm+ penis would be an advantage,
