To wonder why do men eat crisps this way

[agbnb]

I recently read a thread about men Vs women eating differently in general not a rule. Specifically, the way men crunch their crisps more and tend to tilt their head back to pour the final contents in, like a cement mixer

Since reading that thread I swear every male I've seen eating a bag of crisps in public has done exactly that, and yet I've not seen a single woman do it at all.

AIBU to wonder what's behind this? Why on earth has this general difference developed? Am I the only one disturbed by such a trivial but key difference?!

Well you’ve not seen me then.

And then they fold them, meticulously, and do some kind or origami knot-thing!

That’s how I eat them too.

Nor me

It's the best way to get the remaining crisp debris. Why don't women do it?

tend to tilt their head back to pour the final contents in, like a cement mixer
I do that (and I'm a woman). If I've paid for a bag that's half air, I want to eat as much of what was actually in the bag as possible.

I do the tipping head back/ cement mixer thing

Are you a Doritos sales rep, OP??!

When I was little, I used to crunch up the whole bag of crisps and tip them all in to my mouth

It is a fantastic way of eating crisps. Try it - you will rue all those squandered crisp consuming opportunities of the past and you will never go back

I eat crisps like that! The last bits are the best bits!

My dh eats crisps like that , I do the origami knot thing.

I do the knot in the bag thing. It saves space in the bin.

I eat them that way too..

But dh is the LOUDEST crisp cruncher ever. I can hear him crunching nachos as we speak and I'm in the bath...two rooms away.

He folds his into little origami triangles too...he once tried to learn how to make them into swans?! Can't be done...or so he says.

Urgh I hate that.

I fold the packets into triangles.
The cat loves to chase them across the floor.

Why would you not do it? ‘Oh I can’t possibly eat the last bit of my crisps as I might look unladylike’. Get a grip, you’re eating crisps dear.

Why are you describing it as ‘like a cement mixer’? It’s like a person getting small bits of crisp into their mouth. And how on earth does anyone crunch crisps louder or more quietly than another person?
It’s all media nonsense.

I pour them on to a salad.

Then I laugh and laugh.

My DP shakes the bag before opening them so they're equally covered in flavouring. I know it makes logical sense but it's been five years and for some reason that little habit grinds my gears like MAD.

DH eats crisps like that. Usually several packets at a time
And he has no regard for if the packet is opened the right way up or not

My partner does that. I'm always telling him off, saying he should eat slower and enjoy the flavours.

He needs to do that in general. He has IBS and always complains about it, but never does anything to make his life any easier!

@Valentinesfart

Me and dh always open ours upside down because at school that meant you loved someone...soppy twats that we are.

I came on this thread to see if I have been eating crisps wrong all these years..

I do tip the crumbs into my hand first though.

Have given up crisps for lent - and it is hard, even though just day 2 :)

Off topic slightly but why is it impossible to eat Pringles singly, there have to be at least three!
Do all men take a breath as they eat, creating a snorting sound? Drives me mad, my Dad did it too.

I'm a mouth tipper too! And does anybody tuck their empty packet into the hole made by your open fist to make a sort of cone? They make great makeshift weapons! Plus the cats love them!
