Plain crisps ffs. PLAIN CRISPS.

[SilentBoob]

If I asked you to get me a packet of plain crisps, what would you bring me?

Every time I have asked dh for plain crisps these past couple of weeks he has come home without them, saying the shop didn't have any.

Then tonight he brought me ready salted and said he was sorry, the shop STILL didn't have any plain crisps but maybe I'd like ready salted instead?

Gentle probing revealed that he thought I wanted entirely plain and unflavoured crisps. WHO THE JEFF WANTS PLAIN, UNSALTED, UNFLAVOURED CRISPS?

Plain crisps = ready salted. IANBU.

Yes, plain crisps definitely means ready salted.

Has your DH always been a bit thick?

Could be worse

He might have bought helicopter flavour

YANBU. Leave the bastard.

hahaha YANBU.

It depends on where he's from, some people never call them 'plane crisps'. I don't think he's 'thick', he just didn't get it.

you made yourself quite plain - or so you thought!

In defence of the doughnut you married you did get plain crisps at one stage, the salt n shake ones, if you omitted to put the salt on they were totally plain ..and pretty awful too

Please don't breed with him, it shallows the gene pool that level of stupidity.

Errrm .... I absolutely love PLAIN crisps ... those naice "Naked" ones by Tyrells.

But yep, if someone said "plain" I'd assume they meant ready salted.

They're just red ones in this house :)

No, they are Boeing 747 crisps.

Have I spelled plain wrong?

Plane.

Plain.

Plain.

YANBU

No, I've spelled it wrong.

Haha! YANBU. I did have a moment a while back when I just thought "Why are they called READY salted? Why aren't they just called Salted? Why the ready?!"

You can still get salt and shake can't you? I'm sure I saw them in Tesco?

OP I would spell it plain.

plain crisps always means ready salted to me as well.

plain crisps are plain crisps hes a bit dim isnt he how can a shop not have ready salted crisps , Id take him by the hand and SHOW him what they look like, yes you can get salt and shake i can remember eating the salt out of the bag as a kid , Im not sure my mum shouldve allowed that

plain means ready salted in this household although we do like the kettle crisp which are unsalted and truly plain.

Maybe they're called ready salted because they're in a reddy packet. You should also get bluey salt and vinegar, and greeny cheese and onion, and orangy roast chicken.

To be fair to my lovely husband, he isn't thick or a donut. He pointed out that many years ago I used to buy plain, naked, nothing flavoured crisps... well yes, but only for the children who knew no better.

In the old days you used to have to salt crisps yourself. The salt came in a little twisted piece of blue greaseproof paper that you sprinkled to taste. Then someone took that option away and they came already salted for you (Ready Salted). Then decades later that same person decided to give us back that option with Salt n Shake. I LOVE plain crisps. I never use the salt packet in Salt n Shake, it convinces me I'm eating healthily.

Plain here too.

Your DH may be my DH long lost twin.

Yesterday- I asked him to get milk from tesco
Which one, he said
The green one
How much he said
6 pints

DH arrived home with no milk
The reason why?

Well, I'll tell you
First of all he was looking for milk in a green carton.
After 10 minutes he realises green means the lid

However, they did not sell 6 pints.

The biggest one? I asked. They didn't have it?

DH- they had a big one, it wasn't 6 pints though - because it's in litres
Now I assumed everyone knew it used to be 6 pints, clearly not. My DH is the only person in the world who doesn't know this.

So I asked why on earth he didn't just get any size milk
DH- because you said 6 pints

So it didn't occur to him to get any other size
FFS

Hahaha! How thoughtful of him to get you some ready salted 'instead' - that's hilarious!

did you send him back out again?

Why are Walkers Cheese and Onion in blue packets, and Salt & Vinegar in green, when it should be the other way round?

Why should it be the other way round?
