I asked DH to get salted crisps from the shop today. He came back with salt & vinegar ones. When I asked why, he said it’s what I’d asked for and that if I’d wanted salted ones, I should’ve said “ready salted.” 😂

If you were asked to get salted crisps, would you buy salt & vinegar or ready salted ones? 😂

I always say plain for ready salted, but you are not being unreasonable as I am sure you will have mentioned that you don't like salt and vinegar before now. The only solution is to LTB!!!

Hes a twit. Obviously "salted" means ordinary ready salted. If you'd said "plain", would he have come back with a sliced-up potato?

If you don't say vinegar, you won't want vinegar!!

I would buy ready salted but you did phrase it weirdly. I agree you should have said ready salted 😆

I would buy ready salted.

I hate salt and vinegar crisps!
