We gift people chocolate, why not crisps?!

Was thinking earlier how I'd bloody love a selection box of lovely crisps as a present. You know, nice posh ones you wouldn't normally buy yourself.

I may start it off 😂

My autistic son is obsessed with finding different flavours of crisps, he often gets them for Christmas🤣🤣🤣

BitOutOfPractice · 16/12/2023 09:04

I genuinely think this could make you big money op.

I now need beef hoola hoops for breakfast

I went to a cash and carry once and bought one of those pub wall hangers of scampi fries as a Christmas gift for a friend. (Those ones that have 30 odd packets attached and you just pull them off as and when.)

My friend thought it was the greatest gift ever!

I used to gift Pringles to the DC when they were little, they thought it was fab!

Mind you, even Doritos are over 2 quid now so crisps would be a luxury gift 😂

£5 truffle crisps? Real genuine truffle? Why haven’t I seen these? Who makes them? I need to know.

I've seen them in M&S and Waitrose (Tyrells)

daisychain01 · 16/12/2023 09:11

Here's the bag!

Hear me out. Crisps.

I'd put them in a little hamper with other bits! Would be lovely!

the80sweregreat · 16/12/2023 09:14

I like beefy Burts crisps and found some in tesco. Not keen on the cheesy ones though. They don't seem as mainstream to buy as other crisps and I've gone off kettle crisis lately.
It's a brilliant idea op
You should go into marketing !
After all, chocolate isn't always that great and you get all kinds for sale this time of year

daisychain01 · 16/12/2023 09:14

Walkers used to do competitions for novel crisp flavours - they had weird concoctions like Full English Breakfast and Pie and Mash flavour Grin exaggerated for effect!

Lancashire crisps do a multi box and home delivery, bought in the past for both husband and son. They loved it.

AdoraBell · 16/12/2023 10:07

Thanks @daisychain01 I’ve clearly been living under a rock this year, seen nothing 🤣

I did quite like these……

I did too actually. Think it was quite controversial

#LancashireCrisps are the best in the world! Who else offers a black pudding crisp?
No others will do

EnjoyingTheSilence · 16/12/2023 10:57

Why has no one thought of this before!!!

re the Torres truffles crisps, has anyone tried the fried egg ones?

palmtreesoliveleaves · 16/12/2023 11:05

Reading about the PP ordering Bacon and Scampi fries from Amazon made me smile as I ordered the bacon fries for DH's Christmas. He loves them! I'm not sure how to wrap them though. I could leave them in the Amazon box but it's huge.

Youngest DS is getting a tube of pringles in his stocking. We're a big crisp family!

DatingDinosaur · 16/12/2023 12:48

I've just wrapped a multi-pack of skips prawn cocktail crisps for a friend... (he loves them so why not?)

louderthan · 16/12/2023 13:02

Thanks to whoever mentioned Wheat Crunchys I can't get the song from the ad out my head now...

'If you want a crunchy wheaty eaty, then eaty a Wheat Crunchy!'

Does anyone here like chocolate and crisps together???

Yes. Chocolate buttons with ready salted crisps. Chuck the bag of buttons in the crisp bag and shake. Heaven.

Tighginn · 16/12/2023 13:07

The world has become a better place since truffle crips.

WellThisIsFun1 · 16/12/2023 13:07

Told me OH about the idea of a crisp advent calendar and he is now very excited about the concept.

So if someone can on with it for next Christmas please...

the80sweregreat · 16/12/2023 13:12

Maybe a marketing person might see this thread ready for next year ( or even Easter ?)
Easter crisps ! Hatching out of an crisp shaped packet

SinnerBoy · 16/12/2023 13:13

I say I don't like crisps, but I will eat Wotsits now and again. Does that mark me down as a wrong 'un?

the80sweregreat · 16/12/2023 13:15

Some crisps don't taste the same anymore
I don't eat as many as I used to for sure

bellinisurge · 16/12/2023 13:15

I would LOOOOVE this

SpringIntoChaos · 16/12/2023 13:16

I'd be up for joining in with a #givecrispsforchristmas campaign 🤣🙌🏼

I loathe chocolate...really can't stand it! However, being a primary teacher, I get a LOT of it as Christmas and end of year gifts. Of course I'm incredibly gracious and grateful, but I do feel bad that parents have spent their hard earned money buying me something that I just give away. I'd rather they sent me a card or letter saying thank you - or a bag of Kettle Chips, obviously 🤣
