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 of crisps.
Poke of chips

Bag!

On another note, I know so many people who don't say the 'P' in 'crisps' and so make this crisssss sound and it absolutely makes my teeth itch.

Bag where I am from.

Probably largely because it is shorter than packet.

If I asked for a packet of crisps my family would die of laughter and pretend to talk with a posh accent. We say bag, innit.

Either. Mostly packet. DH says package?!!

Its obviously a poke of crisps, duh!

I remember my DD having this problem with the computerised spelling "lessons" at school.

It wanted "? of crisps"
She was marked wrong by the computer and came home seething. 😤

Probably bag but packet wouldn't sound wrong either.
Just asked DH and he says bag too.

Yes, you are right!

Have been known to use both bag and packet, but usually just crisps, without specifying the container i.e.’ pass me the crisps, please’ or ‘would you like some crisps?’

I was just gonna weigh in with this!
Bag people: what's it called when empty?

Midlands here: use both but maybe packet has the edge...

packet
the important thing is - do we have to update the spreadsheets now?

Packet or pack. Grew up in NE Scotland.

Scottish - bag of crisps

Pack o' crisp/ bag 'o crisp

(North West 😂)

@napody an empty crisp bag!

I would say packet for the small ones, but bag for the share ones.

Packet. SE.

I'm Scottish and say packet. I don't think I've ever noticed what others call it but I will now!

Bag. Lifelong Londoner

Same.

I think I usually say packet. I'm form the SE. But I'm pretty sure I also say bag and wouldn't bat an eyelid if anyone said bag.

One step too far for me! 😂
