Is it bad luck to open crisps upside down?

[Toddlerteaplease]

My colleague was horrified when I did this. Never heard of it before!

I’ve not heard of it being bad luck before but I hate when I accidentally open crisps upside down. It just feels wrong.

What?

Sorry, what?

Yes

Well obviously - they'll all fall out of the bottom.

This is something kids used to say when I was at school 😂

Only if they all fall on the floor from being opened at the bottom 😂

Only if you put them down and later pick them up the right way, so all the crisps fall out.

Luck? What does that mean? Your colleague believes in an interventionist God of crisp-packets?

Only if you pick up the packet to read it, once they're open.

That was widely believed when I was young. I trained myself out of it when older, but it was hard.

Yes, it means you die before midnight. Without fail.

Never heard this before. However, "superstition is believed by fools and carried on by idiots" as my ace Gran would say.

yes it's bad luck, and also you're going to wet the bed of you pick dandelions and you can only say "Christmas'' in December, you have to say "xmas" in all other months.

common knowledge

Mmm crisps

It's not bad luck
But they are then called Australian crisps

They are poisonous if opened upside down.

They were M&S bacon rasher crisps and very disappointing!

Try the Tesco ones, they're ace!

😂😂

apparently if you get a green one it's good luck?!

You always open the bottom so you can get the tazo first.

First person to eat a crisp from an upside down bag will die

I got a green crisp in a packet of Smiths Bacon Crisps in early 1984 but I don't remember anything lucky happening afterwards

Hopefully they were just being silly. If they believed that I worry for them!

apparently if you get a green one it's good luck?!
Whaat? Only if you're hoping to find a green crisp!
