Heed my warning (about crisps)

[Soubriquet]

I’m recovering from covid and I’ve been quite ill. I’ve actually gone an entire week without eating anything. I have fresubin to make up the calories but still.

Anhway, I really danced some pickled onion monster munch. So I got some. And I could taste it. Just.

So I had another. And another.

In the end, I had five packets. I felt good. I ate something!!

Then I realised my mistake. I have a sore now on my bottom left gum. Another one on the bottom right gum. And the skin has peeled away on my tongue.

Damn those crisps. Still have 4 left but I will eat those in moderation and scoff bags of cheesy balls instead.

Cheesy balls in excess will hurt eventually too!

If you eat 6 packets you actually summon a demon, you have had a lucky escape!

I ate a multipack of wheat crunchies 2 days ago. Pretty sure i will never eat them
Again

I once ate a whole tube of salt and vinegar Pringles, licking the ‘dust’ off each one before consuming it. It actually made my tongue bleed. Not, like, torrents of blood, just tiny amounts which appeared to be coming out of my taste buds. Haven’t done it since, though still love S&V crisps, of any brand (McCoys and Discos are the best).

Your immune system is down, ulcers were likely anyway, could have got one from eating a wholesome orange - leave the poor innocent monster munch alone.

Hope you are feeling better, covid sucks.

Don’t eat too much dried pineapple..

Luckily I don’t like pineapple but yes

Ohhh I love those cheesy balls

I ate a large bag of Takis by accident last week. About an hour later I felt like I had swallowed the sun itself and was praying for a swift and merciful death.

By accident

Get the beef monster munch next time.

I love crisps. I eat far too many.
But I am very impressed with 5 packets of pickled onion ones. That's powerful stuff 🤣

Beef flavour wotsits are what you need.

And not the skinny fuckers.

The giant ones

Commit to the process. After a lifetime of frequent monster munch binges, my gums have toughened up and I can do a 6 pack no problem!

@SpideyCraw ....even the flamming hot ones ????

I am so jealous! I used to love them when you could lick between the toes (they are feet aren't they?) I think they're a lot smaller now?

(You know crisps didn’t give you ulcers really don’t you? If they did I don’t think they’d be freely sold to kids and everyone)

Oh, no I can only do the pickled onion flavour!

I wonder if a nice tub of coleslaw might sooth your gums...

This is one of the most illuminating threads I have ever read on Mumsnet!

@SpideyCraw phew. Anyone that could do 6 packets of Flaming Hots I would worry about 😂

S&v Discos are the most mouth wateringly glorious of all the crisps. But pickled onion mm also amazing. I hope your mouth feels better soon OP!

Never eat 5 kiwis 🥝 in a row 😔

Your inners are probably glowing luminous green. Perfect for Halloween! 🎃

Not feet! Turn them around and they are a monster
