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.

Ooh I feel for you op but now I want crisps. I rediscovered Frisps last week and it made my day, cheese and onion are the best.

I’ve always got a stack of various crisps in my room (bed bound at the moment).

I currently have monster munch, cheesy balls, frazzles, mini packets of twiglets and salt and vinegar walkers

Every week when dh does the shopping, he asks what crisps I want for my stash

@RFPO77 I came on to say about kiwi, there’s no pain like kiwi pain 🥝

I ate a whole bag of giant duct wotsits and they gave me terrible wind 😂

Pickled onion space invaders are fantastic but evil.

God, maintenance is still hard after ten years. I've mostly maintained my weight loss with a few fluctuations due to pregnancy, holidays, Christmas etc, but I could still mainline five packets of Monster Munch until my tongue peels. I have to rely on my inner Mad Eye Moody. Constant vigilance!

Nah. Not oniony enough

Those stinky onions rings crisps. Most are too sugary these days. Somewhere there's a brand flat will feed (haha) my latent addiction. For my sake, I hope I never find it.

I remember eating something like 10-15 of those fizzy astro-belts when I was about 18. I sucked all of the sugar/flavour off before eating the belts. My tongue was red raw and I had ulcers all over the surface of it for days. Worth it though!

Salt & vinegar or prawn cocktail crisps (preferably discos) are my favourite. They are best when they make the inside of your lips tingle and go pink.

Pineapple destroys my mouth!

I don’t eat crisps often but when I do I always end up cutting the corners of my mouth of the outside.

I think I’m just being greedy and shoving them in whole but it puts me off them for ages and then I crave them and then the whole process starts again.

Are you made of money?! I was going to buy crisps tonight but they are sooo expensive now.

What the what now?? How am I in my 40s just hearing of this. I’ve been living a lie my entire life, as yes, I thought they were feet too.

which makes zero sense I admit

I one ate a 20 pack of skips in one sitting (emptied them into a large plastic bowl) and I would do it again

Monster

I just ate a while family / party bag of Tesco bacon rashers. I had far too much at the work Friday drinks earlier.

I'm now eyeing up the sharing bag of twirl bites.

Go for it! It’s Friday night. Let loose

You are not alone @Soubriquet .

I can definitely eat sour candy strips until me tongue bleeds… and then some more.

You know when hula hoops brought out those big bags of corn type ones a couple of years ago? The salt and vinegar were STRONG and I ate a whole bag but it was too sour so I used my tongue to squash them against the roof of my mouth until I could eat them.

you guessed it…removed a layer of skin on the roof of my mouth.

100% worth it. I wonder if you can still get them

Not feet! Turn them around and they are a monster

Has this been confirmed though??

There was an argument about it back along and some said they’re meant to be feet but just happen look like monsters but others were saying no they’re monsters but just happen to look like feet.

@CarefreeMe Pineapple has enzymes in it that breakdown protein (its why it's put on gammon), so basically the pineapple is eating you before you can eat it 😄

My whole life has been a lie. I thought they were feet too.

I thought they were feet too!

@Soubriquet I am 56! I have gone my whole thinking they were monster feet.

my whole life has been a lie. Bloody delicious, might try a 5 pack challenge sometime 😉

I remember when they released the salt and vinegar quavers again. I loved them when I was a kid and I was so excited to eat them

They huuuuuurt. But god it was worth it.
