Do you call it a bag of crisps or a packet of crisps

[TheChippendenSpook]

I call it a packet. To me, a bag is something that you put things in to carry around.

Crisps come in a packet, all ready to eat and nicely sealed, ready for you to open.

It doesn't matter but I'm bored and was just wondering how many people call it a bag or a packet.

Bag 😁

I would say a bag of crisps. I'm guessing this might be a regional thing. I'm Scottish.

🤣

Packet!

Packet.

Packet

It probably is regional. I'm not from where I live now and most people here call it a bag.

South east. Packet.

Gosh I say both interchangeably

Packet. South east.

North West , and around here we say bag of crisps or I have heard pack of crisp but never packet .

Packet

I'm North West and have only ever said packet.

It's a packet of chips where I live!

Having never thought about this until now - I use both, but for different things! E.g I will say “pass me the bag of crisps” BUT I also say (far too frequently!) “put that bloody crisp packet in the bin!” No idea why…

Either is fine

Ach no it’s a ‘poke’ of crisps!

Bag

Now you're just complicating things 🤣

Either.

It's a poke of crisps here too.

Same with chips, if you go to a chippy and just want a small chips you ask for a poke of chips.

No, pokes are for chips not crisps 🤭

I want to live where you do!

A poke??!!!
