I've just been to the shop to get Mrs K a bag of crisps to curb her cravings.

Was shocked to see that the crisp bags were half empty! Either I'm getting old, or the companies are being sneaky.

Anyone else seen this?

Yep, a couple of years back I bought some salt & vinegar disco's from a vending machine. There were 7 crisps in there! Bloody 7!!

I wrote a letter of complaint to the manufacturer and told them I'd be buying monster munch next time. Sent me £2 of vouchers.

Walkers are fecking terrible for this these days (a bag of ready salted which is less than 1/3 full?!?, kiss my chuddies) so I've abandoned them in favour of Real Crisps

Sorry, but Real Crisps vomit

Don't care Walker's are 1/3 or 1/2 full - they're still the best.

You can go on their website and order them by the box load.

Really? Down south I can only ever find Ready Salted and non of the variety of flavours they do. [Goes off to look at their website...]

and you'll be reminded of eating them well into the evening Im sure.

Damn things dont half repeat on you wink


Being somewhat limited in crisp varieties where I am, I tend to opt for either Lays (walkers) Pickles flavour (in crinkle cut form) - which is somewhere between salt and vinegar and pickled onion flavour. Or one of the more obscure wheaty, crunchy, kid orientated snacks.

The flavour options here seem to be limited for some strange reason, its either: Pickles, Paprika, Salt or a cheesy option.

If Im in the UK I will opt for S&V chip sticks, wheat crunchies (worcester sauce being the fave), or maybe a cheeky cheesy pack of quavers lick

To get a proper bag of crisp these days you need to buy the big eat bags!

Seabrooks are my favourites too. The trouble with their cheese and onion flavour is that they're a bit too powerful. You stink of them for the rest of the day.
