Crisps is an onomatopoeia. They wouldn't be called "crips" if they didn't make a sound to eat.
An interesting typo leads to an equally interesting question. Is a 'crip' or 'spaz' onomatopoeiac because either is the startled noise they make when you trip them up?Yet another symptom of the general lowering of standards in modern Britain.

Yet another ludicrous knee-jerk PH "Isn't Britain st because one person saw one other person with poor table manners once"Back in the glory days of whenever you were a lad did crisps have silecers on them?

Eating with your mouth open is inexcusable, but how would you go about eating crisps quietly? Cover your head in sound deadening first?
Place them in your mouth and close it before crunching them, rather than chomping on them like a horse.Yes, I have thought about this rather too much. Drives me mad.

Perhaps steering this away from being able to blame noisy eaters on Blair/Brown/Clegg/Paedos (delete as appropriate), I was on a flight back from Athens last week and had the misfortune to sit next to some fetid who quite clearly thought that constant, frantic mastication of gum without once closing his mouth for the entire 3 hour 45 minute flight was in any way acceptable. .
Seeing as I am not 6ft 4, do not know martial arts and am not a caped crusader of VBRJ I chose to sit there seething.
