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 😂

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

😂😂😂

love it

@Richvanilla mmmmmm - my guess is that it was a joke - but I can always be corrected

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 09/07/2023 07:49

One or two from dh’s packet. I’m not mad about crisps, except for Walker’s Sensations, which aren’t proper crisps anyway.

Butteredtoast55 · 09/07/2023 08:08

As a PP, depends on size and shape. I like to eat the big ones on their own but then it's a little layered crisp amuse bouche each time. Always tip the bag diagonally to empty the last few straight down!
Full disclosure, yesterday I tipped the last crisp shards into some leftover dip and ate it with a teaspoon. For breakfast.

In company? One at a time

Alone or with my best friend? As many as I can stack in my hand without them going everywhere

One at a time, for maximum crunch.

Unless it’s Pringles and you have to use two to pretend you have a duck bill. Quack.

Yes, exactly.

Though with Wotsits it's two as you have to use two to pretend to have fangs. Obviously.

I take three every three days. I eat the first one with the left-hand side of my mouth, I eat the second one with the right-hand side of my mouth, and I melt the third one on my tongue.

@GalileoHumpkins · Yesterday 17:48

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

Nice one! 😂

@Secretkeeper50 I suppose 2 or 3 at a time, depending on the size of the individual crisps. Can easily eat two 40gm bags at once though (followed by a third of a 250gm bag of revels.)

Grin You gannet! 😆

KnittedCardi · 09/07/2023 10:59

One by one, but on auto-refill mode. My arm is on remote and shovels one by one continuously until the bowl is empty. Fucking love cheesy puffs.

Fartooold · 09/07/2023 11:06

I like to buy a tube of Pringles as part of my Christmas treat - something to look forward to, along with a whole box of Maltesers !

And yes, I eat them one by one🙂

BobShark · 09/07/2023 11:07

Generally as many as I can fit in my sandwich.

SlidingHoors · 09/07/2023 11:13

2 at a time in polite company. More on my own.

I rarely eat crisps, though, as I’m just too much of a greedy bastard.

CatchCatchThePigeon · 09/07/2023 11:14

I have zero self control with crisps and therefore like others I don't buy them.

But on the odd occasion they make it through the door, I'm a handful of crisps person as opposed to one by one

Unless they are v savoury and have a lot of the flavour bits on them in which case I would lick all that off and then eat the crisp. But never in company ;)

SisterAgatha · 09/07/2023 11:15

I start one crisp at a time. By the end I’m shoving in maybe 4/5 crisps each handful but depends on the size of the crisp.

FearTheWankingDead · 09/07/2023 11:17

I buy one of the sharing packs and eat it myself so I can honestly say I only ate one packet.

GrapeHyacinth · 09/07/2023 11:18

Yum. Crisps.

RaraRachael · 09/07/2023 11:23

One at a time with my left hand which is odd because I'm right handed.

XH used to drive me mad if we shared a big bag as he'd reach in and take as many as he could and hardly leave me with any.

GeriatricMumma · 09/07/2023 11:24

I start politely with one then it quickly descends in to chaos

Your ideas intrigue me, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

ASmallFurryCreatureFromAlphaCentauri · 09/07/2023 13:25

Wait! Are you supposed to eat them out of the packet? We always had bone-china potato-crisp bowls and tiny silver tongs to prevent our white kid gloves from becoming besmirched. We also had to put a silken cover over our heads to prevent anyone else from being offended/sickened by seeing us eat such proletarian snacks.

WandaWonder · 09/07/2023 13:28

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.

This is my way also

ChokeToDeathOnThreePoundsOfMeat · 09/07/2023 13:32

None. Ever since I had covid 18 months ago, they all taste rancid, like gone off oil. Crisps used to be one of my favourite things. I thought I'd lose weight, but... nope. Never eaten them since.

I used to use a bowl though, I'm weird about finger food. With crisps, it's the oily salt getting stuck on my hands, yuck.

What are these “crisps” you talk of?
