How many crisps do you eat at once?

Do you eat just one at a time from the packet or several at once?

Random but curious 😂

I am referring to individual crisps, not how many packets!!

All of them, whatever that is. I just open the bag and inhale. That’s why I never buy them.

smooththecat · 08/07/2023 17:47

Who eats one crisp from a bag? Are you on crack?

Jongleterre · 08/07/2023 17:47

One at a time until the bottom of the bag is reached and some may be crushed, so a pinch of a few is required.

GalileoHumpkins · 08/07/2023 17:48

One at a time. As in eat one, roll the packet closed, put in cupboard then eat another one the following day.

Littlemissprosecco · 08/07/2023 17:48

Sometimes I savour the flavour. Other times I just stuff em in!

LookAtThatArtwork · 08/07/2023 17:48

I'm eating crisp now and can confirm I eat two at a time.

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 08/07/2023 17:49

Depends how hungry I am, how big the crisps are, and how flat (and therefore stackable) they are.

Exactly this.

Cant be dealing with the husband who takes 5 or 6 at a time and crams them in.

BCBird · 08/07/2023 17:50

Depends on my mood. Feeling calm= a couple at a time. Stressed = half a bag- like a digger bucket🙄

Greydogs123 · 08/07/2023 17:50

Depends on the crisp - mostly one at a time, until packet is empty, but sometimes two or three may be grabbed if they’re a bit broken.

WhereTheSuburbsMeetUttoxeter · 08/07/2023 17:52

Grab bag... Or even a small packet... Hands in, 5 crisps out. Munch, then shove the other half in too.

Repeat until packet empty. Lick finger, stick it corner of packet. Lick finger.

Swiss finishing school wasn't wasted on me.

One at a time, until there is no more

35965a · 08/07/2023 18:10

One at a time. I hate sharing the big bags with my husband because he takes about 6 at a time and crams them in!

ChrisPriss · 08/07/2023 18:13

In company: one or two at a time
On my own: cram, cram, cram

Bezzi · 08/07/2023 18:15

@HadEnoughOfBears @35965a
If and when my husband and I ever divorce, this will be what finally cracks us.
I love to take my crisps one at a time and savour and enjoy each one. This absolute savage will take a man handful and stuff them into his grid 😰
He can empty a sharing pack in about 3 or 4 goes. It's impossible to enjoy them like that!

mynameiscalypso · 08/07/2023 18:16

Two at a time. I like it when they crunch together.

pizzaHeart · 08/07/2023 18:19

One at a time if whole, several if broken

That's made me chuckle.

I'm recovering after having two molars extracted so no crisps for me for a while

SpongeDiving · 08/07/2023 18:19

Two or three - I like a sort of crisp mille feuille effect.

BCBird · 08/07/2023 18:22

Crisp.mille feuille 🤣

Yes steady on, you don't want to go gunking your molar holes up.

That was lesson to at the Swiss 😁.

I think the etiquette in your situation is a tin of economy tomato soup, in a bowl, slurped through a straw.
You may look longingly at a piece of buttered cheap white bread.

Get well, and back on the crisps soon. Monster Munch!

WhereTheSuburbsMeetUttoxeter · 08/07/2023 18:26

*two
They didn't bother much with the old SPAG 🙄

This has to be a joke.

If its not, this is PEAK MUMSNET.

One crisp a day ffs.

Needmorelego · 08/07/2023 18:32

If it’s Hula Hoops then it’s one on each finger so you technically eat 10 at a time but it’s one by one before refilling your fingers.
Cos that’s the law. 😂
