They are more addictive than crack cocaine* If you need some discouragement light one on fire and be amazed and how much oil is in one crisp.

That's probably less than one spud in total, so I'd say crack on and have some more 😀

My downfall, the humble crisp, I don't go fancy just your bog standard flavours, I could eat myself to death on crisps

This.

It's number one on my desert island snack choice.
Might make me a bit thirsty though.

I love crisp, but I very rarely buy them now days as I just eat them in one go. My worst time was 3 bags of Kettles 150g bags.

Chipsticks for me.

Peak Chipstick was the S&V "Chiplets" that M&S used to do back on the 80s; loaded with vinegar (and probably MSG), used to be a proper treat when I was a kid (once I'd peeled the insides of my cheeks off my teeth).

just how many packets would be involved in "eating one-self to death" do we think?

y'know just out of interest?

Not crisps, but Co-Op super deluxe triple chocolate cookies (from their bakery bit) are bloody dangerous. I can do a pack of four in one go 😳 Now I don't even go down that aisle.

I'm gonna grass Ton up somewhat. A few weeks ago we were chatting about doing a ride & he said, '19 stone again, HTF did that happen!?', then he mentioned bread!

Sorry Tony... 😆

Lightly salted kettle chips, or equivalent artisan nonsense, is all it takes.

Now this is my kind of thread.

Walkers MAX Flaming Hot are my current weakness. Way too many packets a day at 265 calories a packet!

Can you still buy Smiths Crisps with the little blue bag of salt? They were a treat as a kid.
Mrs feet likes the vegetable crisps. Just wrong. On so many levels. ( beetroot FFS)

As much as I like, or am addicted to, salt & vinegar kettle chips, (not to mention the Aldi copy that is better than the original); I still wistfully look back to the days of yore and covet thy salt & vinegar Discos!!!!

Managed to give them up for lent - nearly killed me . The worst time was a post ride pint without a bag . The bag of prawn cocktail seabrooks I had with a pint of cask Aired ale after Easter Monday's ride was orgasmic

Kirkby Malham Chorizo crisps. Bags intended for sharing but never happens...

Have you never heard of pork scratchings man?

Chipsticks will be the death of me I think. Mainly as it's possible to eat enough in one go to cause my mouth to blister to the point at which drinking is painful yet eating more seems strangely appealing.

Yep, they are my kryptonite as well: Doritos, kettle chips (in all flavours), Tyrells, Walkers, Sensations etc etc. They are all like crack to me. As a result, I don't buy them: My day-to-day salty, crunchy snack is either small pretzels or Twiglets.

Burts for me. Devon Beef. Firecracker Lobster. Either will delight. It gets weird with sarnies as only Walkers will suffice. And a particular complementary flavour is always chosen, depending on the sarnie filling

Anyone tried the Burts Guinness Chilli ? I seek them, as yet to no avail...

I've only just got in from work and really couldnt be bothered cooking anything so my tea has been 3 packs of walkers crisp on butties.

Binners, my mates mum has a cafe and stocks every single flavour of that brand. I love that woman 😀

Walkers Prawn Cocktail, two bags, and a can of Dr Pepper, and then nothing can touch me, I'm happy. 🙂

But you need to let them go a little stale to get the best out of them. Amazingly, they're suitable for vegetablists as well.

Chilli Doritos are my smack. Can easily demolish one of those big sharing bags. Quickly. Can relate to the comments above about blistered mouthparts; I knew I'd overdone it last time because the skin was coming away from my lips... 😯

Can't believe no-one's mentioned hula hoops...all flavours. Love love crisps but generally not the posh kettle type ones
...too hard and weird flavours.

^Hula Hoops always taste slightly burned to me.

Mozzers own brand bacon fries are also vegan friendly, btw.

Hah, forgotten crisps... Tyrrels Ludlow Sausage & Mustard flavour. Leisurely, with Bathams Bitter or Enville Ale. Just saying.

I had a grab size bag of pickled onion monster munch at lunchtime. The snack that keeps on giving - leaves pickled onion goodness in your teeth for later and repeats on you all afternoon.

Aldi did some amazing venison and red wine crisps over xmas that I've not managed to track down since. Current weakness is it being able to go into M&S without picking up a large bag of four cheese and onion randomly shaped things #middleclassheartattack

Onion rings!! Although I always need to share with the kids. No matter how quietly I open a packet or how far away they are they always seem to show up, they remind me on the shopkeeper in Mr Ben

The Aldi Aberdeen Angus and Red Wine crisps are still on the shelves in my local branch, they are now the first thing I pick up each time I go. The rest of the flavours are very good but those, with that red wine after taste, they truly are special.

Space raiders- my nemesis!

Trip to the local cinema earlier in the week to see Eddie the Eagle. Mrs A buys posh water and popcorn. I'm happy with five different flavours of MSG. It wasn't just Eddie who was flying by the end of the film.

OT- Is it acceptable to sneak a beer or two into the cinema? just asking, that's all.

Salt and pepper kettle chips, replaced salt and pepper Pringles as my favourite, pretty much like crack cocaine.

I see walkers have started making a sharing bag... I don't share crisps they're all mine.

Was at a cafe last week and they only had "Proper Crisps" - the brand, not just being Yorkshire. But ffs there was housing duck, something sausage and wholegrain mustard etc etc. That's not proper crisps, that's w*nky artisan wannabe nonsense.

Whoever mentioned the golden days of S&V Discos was right. They've never known potato but goddam...

Salt and vinegar Discos are so vinegary they make your face implode! Not had them for ages. I think that's something that needs rectifying
