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.

Tesco sell them!

My craving on my youngest was salt and vinegar Pringles and I wasn’t satisfied until my tongue felt funny

When my son was serving in Afghanistan, I had to send him food parcels with Tangfastics in, he reckoned they were the only thing that got the taste of sand out of his mouth!

Worcestershire sauce french fries were my addiction, lovely gentle burn going in but molten lava on the way out, always had to eat at least 6 packs at a time to make the pain worth it.

(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)

Well, you say that, @Loserluck, but my DCs sweet of choice, Toxic Waste, has a sensitivity warning on the container.

From an article on WalesOnline:

Experts are concerned many of these sweets could encourage tooth decay or dental erosion because of their sugar and acid content – one such sweet manufacturer was forced to amend its recipe after children suffered burnt and blistered mouths.

Not good

I googled it myself and stand corrected. Wtf

I ate a whole tube of prawn cocktail pringles my favourite. They start to hurt about 3/4 of the way down the tube but I still can't stop

We got some prawn crackers from a roadside Thai van last week, my DD (7) was so funny ( to me at least!) driving back I’d hear crunch, then her blowing frantically, she’d have a slurp of her drink, then the window would open and she’d stick her head out with her mouth wide open and tongue out, then she’d come back in, the window would go up and the whole process would repeat itself…

entertained me no end on our drive back home 🤣🤣

I believe Tesco only sell the puffs. I mean the crunchy version.😛

I mention these every year but when I was kid, discos did a special edition version where they sold their crisps with an additional taste packet.

They made the crisps soooo tangy and addictive. I miss them

Yep , easy done when I'm reading a book and I wonder why I've put on weight!

Yes flaming hot Cheetos are the ultimate…the flaming hot TWISTY cheetos are the best. Golden wonder, discos, or Pringles…also ate whole tube and turned my mouth white. Also skips and a jar of dorito spicy dip 👌never tried the coop s & vinegar but will be making a trip there now…

@pagopago I got some packets of lays in Poundland few weeks ago

Agreed. With Pringles, it's not even possible to only eat one crisp at a time; you have to shove a pile of like 5 in in one go.

If I'm at a party, I have to leave the Pringles alone. With will power, I can manage to have none. If I have any at all, nobody else is seeing them for dust and then I don't get invited back.

Cordysol mouth wash sorts it out super quick. I have reactions to flavourings etc and it really helps.

once you pop, …….

One of the few adverts that's true!

I’ve had time to think about this properly (crisps are a serious business in this house) and other favourite mouth-melting flavours are:

Marmite (much lamented as I don’t seem to be able to find them any more);
Walkers wasabi;
Wasabi and nori (I don’t know the brand, I get them from the Chinese supermarket nearby); and
Lidl’s lobster crisps - a gussied up prawn cocktail that is so tangy I can feel my tastebuds wincing just thinking about them.

And I absolutely agree with the PP who said that shoving Pringles in your mouth in one go gives you sores at the corners of your lips. So painful but so worth the sacrifice…

I find Pringles really sickly now though.

I can’t and haven’t eaten them in many years

The best flavour crisps are jamon(ham) Ruffles but you have to eat them naked on a hotel bed after a nap on holiday.Its an actual law.

"Monster Munch 'monster or claw' debate settled once and for all"

"An online debate has been raging over whether the snack is in the shape of a monster or a claw - as it looks like both depending on which way up you look at them.

Leicester-based snack giant Walkers has today confirmed that Monster Munch will officially be claw-shaped moving forwards, after more than 60,000 Brits voted in an online Twitter poll to determine whether the snacks are claws or monsters.

The company has revealed that the ‘claw’ emerged victorious, receiving 74% of the votes from UK crisp lovers and will be the new 'official' shape."
😋

Same.

This randomly came up on my Facebook feed today under the heading of "They're Back".

They were the top crisp in our house for man-years. . . then they disappeared.

a share pack of McCoy’s sizzling hot king prawn will hurt your bum hole worse than Labour.

If Tony Blair was still in charge would you feel the same way?
