To be pissed off at the minuscule amount of crisps in a bag?

Am not a big crisp eater, but just recently we have been buying those Walkers Baked crisps as I assume they are healthier Hmm Grin

Anyway, stole 3 large crisps out of dh's bag. This left about 1/4 bag of crisps. I was so appalled I had to get my own bag to check....

I reckon there is about 22 crisps in a bag, and it is about 1/3 to 1/4 full. Are we being ripped off here? Other bags seem to be about 3/4 full

I know but more crisp though I supose quality over quantity wins

FreudiansSlipper · 17/04/2013 21:33

Frazzels packets now only have about 15 rashers in :(

mrsjay · 17/04/2013 21:35

Dont get me started on frazzles I sent dd to the shop as I saw them earlier in the day and fancied them , anyway there was hardly anything in them I was fuming although frazzle dust is lovely I need crisps too

FreudiansSlipper · 17/04/2013 21:38

Can't even make a full frazzel sandwich now and pretend frazzels that come in big perfect size bags are pants

mrsjay · 17/04/2013 21:42

I quite like morrisons bacon rashers or is it sainsbury not a frazzle but they are nice

mrsjay · 17/04/2013 21:42

Jestrin · 17/04/2013 21:47

Sainsburys bacon rashers are really nice.

FreudiansSlipper · 17/04/2013 21:53

not tried sainsburys ones shall give them a go

low carbing eating plan will have to wait another day

I thought the bags were puffed up with nitrogen but that the weight on the back of the pack was the net-weight of the crisps pre-packaging?

Charliefox · 17/04/2013 22:02

Quavers are Walkers crisps.

EffieTheDuck · 17/04/2013 22:03

7 yes seven monster munch plus two small broken bits.

I blame the government.

AKissIsNotAContract · 17/04/2013 22:08

Monster munch are the worst for this. They work out about 10p per crisp.

Iwantmybed · 17/04/2013 22:10

I agree it's piss poor. Can't enjoy a packet now, as when you've finished you're.left disappointed.

6 monster munches in mine. I counted them 6 bags when pregnant and had a major pregnant hormonal strop over it.

DP had to physically restrain me from the keyboard to bash out my complaint email.

Cunts. Grin Don't mess with a pregnant woman and her crisps.

formicaqueen · 17/04/2013 22:53

at least it's better for your body to have fewer crisps

Charliefox · 18/04/2013 10:31

Monster munch are Walkers too.

propertyNIGHTmareBEFOREXMAS · 18/04/2013 11:18

Yanbu. I like the kettle chips big bags. They feel about right if a crisp session is in order.

Crinkle77 · 18/04/2013 11:22

YANBU. I had a packet of Disco's the other day and there were hardly any. This sounds really petty but I tipped them out and there was about 15 crisps in total.

alwaysinhiding · 18/04/2013 11:48

Get skips you get loads in there

CalamityJ · 18/04/2013 11:50

Completely agree OP. Do what I do and buy the sharing bags and not share them

Fakebook · 18/04/2013 11:50

Pringles are the only brand of crisps that don't sell air.

SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly · 18/04/2013 11:55

What you all need are those tiny packs of crisps. The ones with the rabbit on the front which come in Spicy Tomato, Cheese, Salt and Vinegar and Pickled Onion. They are always full and you can eat the full multipack Grin

MissSparrow · 18/04/2013 12:01

SPsYoni - you legend!! Proper 80s crisps Grin Didn't they have a (delicious) roast beef one too?
