I've only seen them at garages. Supermarkets usually sell the smaller packets.

My corner shop sells them. He is very reasonable, and does a lovely line in birthday cards from the 1950s.

If you buy a multi pack they are normal size. The only problem is nobody wants the plain in this house. [spoiled]

I don't like the notion of "grabbing" in relation to any food or drink. It suggests bad manners, eating on the go, and poor time management.

I got a packet of french fries (essentially a few bits of expanding foam) and they were 50 odd pence!

Given, I've not bought them in a while and my memory seems to have stuck at when they were 24p for some reason but 50+p?!!

Absolutely NO idea what you are on about... ? Clearly been walking around with my eyes shut. But if it's middle sized packets of crisps - it sounds like a good idea to me

Never heard of grab bags?

Personally I love them. but I am a greedy sod

We call them "fat bastard bags" in our house.

Nope - never heard of grab bags.... I'm in the SE of the UK if that makes any difference??

I'm NE England. Are they the big bags for families?

No idea either here,SW Scotland, thought it was something to do supermarkets not giving plastic bags at the checkout anymore...........

They're the bag and a half sized bags of crisps. Handy for sharing at lunchtime. One does the three of us nicely.

these are grab bags, my kind of size bag of crisps

OK - well - failing to see the problem then

<Pinches more than an inch>

Our uni shop has a meal deal which is basically a sandwich or pasta, a drink and a grab bag of crisps! It costs £3 which isnt bad but i'm trying to cut down and don't need such a big bag but can't stop eating them! I want a normal bag at a decent price please!

They're especially too big for DCs.

There are actually 3 sizes of bags - the multipack ones are about 24g, the ones you buy separately are about 35g and the grab bags are even bigger.

I wouldn't want a whole grab bag size either, it's just a way to make them cost more.
