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 😂

Once I pop, I can't stop. Applies to all potato and corn based snacks in tubes and cellophane packets.

In public-one or two at a time.
At home -crammed in to get a good crunch.

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

I tend to have one a month. Wayyyyyyy too many carbs salt and fat to have in a week

That's made me chuckle.

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

From personal experience wotsits (or even better m & s version) are your first point of call! You can suck them and as they recommend saltwater mouth washes I reckon the salt is good for healing😘

Last year I had a Pringle. I then stick the tube in the freezer. I'm taking another one out for my birthday soon.

ThePurpleOctopus · 08/07/2023 18:49

One at a time unless it's Pringles. They need eating two-at-a-time, as there's not enough crunch with just one.

The two Pringles need to be aligned together properly.

MargaretThursday · 08/07/2023 18:49

I can't believe anyone can cope with eating so much at a time. personally I crunch the packet up and eat them one crumb at a time over 6 months.... 😉

Or maybe not.

HurdyGurdy19 · 08/07/2023 18:49

I put mine (ready salted) between two slices of white bread, spread with Lurpak and salad cream. Squash and eat. So all at once, I suppose.

NoIfsOrButsOrCoconuts · 08/07/2023 18:50

wotsits (or even better m & s version)

Tasters. They used to be fatter and tastier. They are still nice but not like the good old days.

MagicClawHasNoChildren · 08/07/2023 18:51

You don't EAT crisps.

You just open the packet and sniff. That should be enough for a few days. If you're STARVING in between (🙄 - WILLPOWER), you could have a very small salad to fill you up.

CosmosQueen · 08/07/2023 18:51

Like @ThePurpleOctopus , Pringles two at a time. I read somewhere they’re the cocaine of the crisp world, absolutely true! Unfortunately I find half a tube goes down far too easily 🫣

helpfulperson · 08/07/2023 18:52

ChrisPriss · 08/07/2023 18:13

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

This.

MenoRageisReal · 08/07/2023 18:53

Two or three at a time to get a satisfactory crunch and mouth feel.

Every few goes, I have to give one to the dog as he gives me very sad eyes if he doesn't get some. His faves are Coop sea salt and Chardonnay.

LiteKim · 08/07/2023 18:53

It depends on the flavour- cheese and red onion kettle crisps- several at once to get both the flavour and the crunch. When they are a bit big, they might scratch the top of my mouth and make my eyes water.

Half??? Amateur. An entire tube at the minimum. Two at Christmas.

Davros · 08/07/2023 18:58

I put them in a bowl and eat one or two at a time. If they are quite big, I crush up the bag before decanting

Theredfoxfliesatmidnight · 08/07/2023 19:01

One crisp is an oxymoron. No one has ever had just one crisp.

I also seem to have an affliction known as Crisp Hand. Where my right hand repeatedly shovels crisps into my mouth as an automatic but unconscious action

FatCatBum · 08/07/2023 19:02

If it's a nice big crisp then I'll eat it individually, the crappy broken bits get pinched together and eaten in a bunch

Retrievemysanity · 08/07/2023 19:03

As many as can fit in my sandwich. Then one at a time once the sandwich is finished.

25sheets · 08/07/2023 19:05

I love the smushy bits at the bottom of the bag. Messy. Worth it though.

Leftbutcameback · 08/07/2023 19:06

Several at a time. Preferably between two pieces of bread.

ApolloandDaphne · 08/07/2023 19:14

Depends if anyone is watching or not.

WhimHoff · 08/07/2023 19:15

One at a time maybe two if tiny, how I finish the bag depends on where I am, in private I’ll happily lick the corners of S&V crisp bags 🤣

Georgyporky · 08/07/2023 19:19

I don't eat crisps, but a prawn cracker takes 3 bites.
