Wouldn't surprise me if there's something in the colonel's "secret blend of spices" Smile

Walkers sensations lime and coriander poppadoms in the purple bag. Am absolutely addicted.

CrohnicallyLurking · 02/10/2013 20:40

There used to be a rumour going around that Pringles had an addictive additive added (try saying that after a few Wine ), and that was the reason behind the 'once you pop, you just can't stop'.

KneesoftheBee · 02/10/2013 20:43

Mmm...i love tiger bread.

I am addicted to anything that has salt on. I often wonder whether I should just sit dipping my finger in a tub of salt and not bother with the snacks.

candycoatedwaterdrops · 02/10/2013 20:46

I was going to say Pringles.

DoNotTellMeWhatToDo · 02/10/2013 20:48

Milky bars. The big thick family sized one that I eat to myself with a cuppa.

Beastofburden · 02/10/2013 20:50

Sugar and salt, dammit.

Which means green and blacks butterscotch chocolate. And hotel chocolates Florentines.

edam · 02/10/2013 20:50

I suspect it might be MSG in Pringles (although I haven't checked the ingredients... Actually in the interests of evidence-based MNing, maybe I need to go out and buy a tub RIGHT NOW so I can make an informed decision before I post? It's practically my duty to you all, isn't it...

limegreenpickle · 02/10/2013 20:51

Definitely Pringles - once you pop you just can't stop! Grin

SomethingOnce · 02/10/2013 20:51

Mini Eggs!

topknob · 02/10/2013 20:51

I can't stand pringles ! so whatever they add doesn't work on me, walkers cheese and onion however :)

Tabliope · 02/10/2013 20:51

I have a theory that with savoury food like crisps, nuts etc there's just enough flavour on them but not quite enough so you keep eating hoping to get that sharp 'hit' whereas if the flavour was intensified you'd eat less of them. I love the sea salt and balsamic vinegar crisps you get in a navy blue bag. I could eat a big bag easily as I find I keep going to get the saltiest one in there. Same with Wotsits.

Wallison · 02/10/2013 20:52

I was going to say Pringles too. I reckon the secret ingredient is actually crack cocaine. Even when I am feeling slightly queasy, I still keep on reaching into that fucking tube.

VerySmallSqueak · 02/10/2013 20:53

There used to be msg in loads of crisps which I'm sure explained my uncontrollable urges.

Is it in them nowadays?

VerySmallSqueak · 02/10/2013 20:54

Do Magic Mushrooms count?

Badvoc · 02/10/2013 20:54

Mocha...I was just going to say those!

Armi · 02/10/2013 20:55

Tyrell's chilli crisps. I literally cannot stop myself once I start eating them with a glass of wine.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 02/10/2013 20:55

Another vote for Pringles

TheGashlycrumbTinies · 02/10/2013 20:57

Being dim, what is tiger bread?

Agree with Tyrell's Chilli Crisps.
