Prawn cocktail crisps are called "Dad crisps" in our house. Our now nearly 6yr old ds was told as a toddler that they were "dads favourite crisps" and as said ds decided he loved them too (and he really does love them!) they've been "Dad crisps" ever since!

LegoLady95 · 06/08/2019 21:53

Ham = Ha ham
Marmite = Marmalicious
Brocolli = Green trees
Beer = Beer juice
Cheerios = Hoop lala's
Hot chocolate = Chot hocolate
Ice cream = eye cree

Some of these are mispronunciations from my eldest who is learning disabled.
