Where are the rest of my crisps?!

[PickledMuffin]

Just opened a bag of Kettle Chips, where are the rest of them?! I think there's more bag than crisps!

It looks disappointing. I'm on a diet so cant have any crisps.

Thank you, I also forgot the grammar pedant post.

Whaaat? How have I lived over 60 years without knowing about special air in crisp bags.....

Less as crisps are sold by weight
Only fewer if it sold by number

One packet of crisps isn't enough to see off a sandwich but two packets is too much 😭

I also like baked snacks like monster munch and wotsits. I like to think they have fewer calories as they are actually made of air

👏👏

🤣🤣🤣🤣

And bonus points if getting the latest "massive salad" in there

Less as crisps are sold by weight

Actually no. In this context crisps are a countable noun

@BarbaraofSeville can you add pointless grammar spat p please?

'Fewer'

Anyway, what flavour are they?

It will say on the packet ‘packed in a protective atmosphere’. The sand is true of salad, massive or otherwise.

English is not my first (nor second) language, but surely it’s less and not fewer as the crisps are not sold by how many there are in a bag but by weight?

I miss McCoy’s salt & vinegar crisps. 😩

Ok I see now that I was wrong. Oh well. 😂

Avocado and quinoa salad with a sprinkling of oven baked pomme de terre slices with a sunflower oil and sodium chloride glaze

On the grammar front I believe that if we were referring to one ginormous crisp being too small we could refer to less crisp. As the crisps are in the plural things are, as is so often the case, different.

However, if you've never experienced the trauma of an oversized bag of crisps and an undersized portion within then you're probably not qualified to comment at all.

I ate them.
Apologies

@HoofWankingSpangleCunt lidl cheapo crisps are my favourite. I would eat packets of them.

@BarbaraofSeville best comment! I've got my dabber out...

I think it is “fewer” as they are discrete items, regardless of being sold by weight. You could buy beans by weight but still have fewer of them?

I’m also aware I’m part of the bingo now. I’m comfortable with that

Crisps have been sold by weight for years-it used ti say so on the packet-maybe still does?

Even so that looks like a alot of bag for the crisps!

Only thing to do is weigh them Op!

I'm with you in that.

'Embrace what you cannot change'. It's a mantra that would serve OP well.

Talking of crisps i was distraught to only count 15 cheddars in my mini cheddar packet today ..usually at least 16 WTAF is going on with this world?!!

🤣🤣🤣
