To be pissed off at the minuscule amount of crisps in a bag?

[orangeandlemons]

Am not a big crisp eater, but just recently we have been buying those Walkers Baked crisps as I assume they are healthier

Anyway, stole 3 large crisps out of dh's bag. This left about 1/4 bag of crisps. I was so appalled I had to get my own bag to check....

I reckon there is about 22 crisps in a bag, and it is about 1/3 to 1/4 full. Are we being ripped off here? Other bags seem to be about 3/4 full

[orangeandlemons]

Are about 22 crisps. Tut tut at my shocking grammar.

i heard on steve wright in the afternoon that eating one standard bag of crisps per day for a year is the equivalent of drinking 5ltrs of cooking oil

yum

[Jestrin]

Really? I eat about three! They are the only vice I have!

[SantanaLopez]

Walkers are the worst for it! There's like 2 crisps per bag. WTF.

[LemonPeculiarJones]

YANBU. It's a joke. It's more like five crisps per packet, accompanied by sundry crumbs.

It is a sign that our society is at breaking point.

[mrsjay]

thAT IS HOW THEY ARE HEALTHY ALL AIR NO CRISP [GRIN] i got a multi pack of Mcoys the other day opened a packet and i swear i counted 14 crisps including crumbs

[UserError]

It's ridiculous. I think they're trying to reduce the calories by including more air.

[orangeandlemons]

2 crisps per bag sounds about right. Why don't they put them in smaller bags so we know what we are getting. < laughs head off>

[mrsjay]

year is the equivalent of drinking 5ltrs of cooking oil

if it comes in a bag and tastes of cheese and onion im good with that

[janey68]

Yeap minuscule -its shocking.
You used to be able to filch a handful and there would
Still be a reasonable amount left

[orangeandlemons]

Not eating my crisps it doesn't. There's none to eat in one of those bags

[MrsTerryPratchett]

The theory is that with crisps and cereal both of which give you half a bag at most the air is there to stop them getting crushed in transit. I think it's bullshit but it sounds good.

[orangeandlemons]

Oh I know all about that. Ex dp used to work for Kellogs. They need about 1/4 to 1/5 of a bag/box to allow for movement. So 1/4 bag of crispis just a load of crap

[Jestrin]

Which is why I buy the sharing bags and don't share

[mrsjay]

I sometimes get the grab bags when im being greedy but they really are like the olden days normal bag of crisps

[mrsjay]

Which is why I buy the sharing bags and don't share

oh xpost

[seriouscakeeater]

DH uses this excuse to eat three bags at once

[Jestrin]

mrsjay great minds think alike!

[mrsjay]

yes so does mine he will say look hardly anything in but it is taking a bit far when he goes for his 3rd packet

[orangeandlemons]

But tis only Walkers. Have just investigated a bag of quavers ( in the name of research of course, you understand). Nearly full to the top.

So how come they don't need as much air room as Walkers?

[mrsjay]

aye jestrin

[mrsjay]

who makes Mccoys because they are the same ? and they are meant to be 'man crisps'

[Yonihadtoask]

Agree.

I was just making up DS packed lunch - and he always gets a pack of crisps.
He was lucky and had Walkers this week - but the. packet was virtually flat. I got out a couple more packs to compare and theywere the same.

Rubbish.

[mrsjay]

Do you all get Golden Wonder where you live they have bigger better bags but walkers do taste better

[ENormaSnob]

at you getting a full bag of quavers.

Mine had about 8 crisps in.

88 fucking calories because they're 10 cals each
