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?!

I’m clearly a man as I take them off over my head.

Women do it too...

I lick my finger and run it around the bottom of the bag to get the last of the crumbs out. I usually eat Hula Hoops so it's not necessary to lick my fingers.

I do the cement mixer on the whole packet sometimes (not all in one mouthful). Why get your hands sticky and orange when eating wotsits when you don't even have to touch them?

I thought empty crisp packets were supposed to be shoved down the side of the couch cause someone obviously told my dh and kids that's where they go.

Dh makes this weird sound when he is eating crisps. It's not a crunching sound it come from further back in its throat. It's kind of like a sex pleasure sound and he doesn't realise he does it. I fucking hate it and always want to stab him when I hear it.

I tip the bag for the crumbs.... When I was young I used to smash the crisps in the bag then pour into a bowl and eat with a spoon!

STBXH eats crisps ridiculously, IMO.

He opens the packets upside-down, for a start, as the big ones tend to move to the top & he wants those last. I find this disproportionately annoying

He'll eat a few little ones then open out the packet completely, choose half a dozen or so of the biggest & nicest-looking crisps & put them to one side, usually balanced on the arm of the chair, or on his thigh like a pre-school child might do

He then eats all the others, wipes round the empty packet with a licked finger & finally eats the special crisps in ascending size order, before shoving the packet into a circle between thumb & forefinger to make a little cone. The last part is acceptable - I taught him that.

I may have been known to shake, squeeze, prick & otherwise abuse packets of crisps before he gets to them.

I don't live with him & his bonkers habits any more

Anyone else lock the flavour off each crisp individually and bite it when you've taken all the flavour off? 😂🙈

Lick*

We're very gentrified crisp eaters, so they would be in a bowl . I would quite possibly murder anyone in my family if they did the bag tipping up thing.

We've all given them up for Lent. My dh is excessively crunchy if he eats crisps, so it's a blessing.

Well you’ve not seen me then

Nor me.

Then I open the bag and lick it clean. And such the salt off my fingers.

I love crisps, me.

LOVE THEM!!!!!

*Suck, not such

DH does this, all while sounding like he's crunching a brick. I usually have to leave the room instead of grabbing the nearest heavy object to launch at him

Cement mixer 😂

This is sooo DH, just told him about this thread and he gave me a look.

Yes, the crunching! I don’t know how he’s so loud - his gob isn’t that big 🤔 I swear he’s missed his calling as a Opera singer as he has oral acoustics that Pavarotti would be proud of

Anyone else lock the flavour off each crisp individually and bite it when you've taken all the flavour off?

Yes, definitely with smokey bacon crisps and also cheese doritos

I do that too.

Agree with you lots of men do this. Disgusting habit.

I do this. I am a woman. Or are you going to tell me that this isn’t within the range of acceptable feminine behaviour and actually I’m a man.

Are you the CEO of Doritos?

Well I would like to query why men always take stairs two at a time - almost every man I have seen (even those not especially tall seem to do this). Any ladies who do this?

Pyongyang YES!!! Cheese and crisp sandwich. I thought I was alone....

They make great makeshift weapons!

@GlassofRed

That is the sort of useful information this thread was created for.

I did exactly that at work today, and I've just realised I was sitting under the CCTV camera which is monitored!

Has anyone else ever put a crisp packet into a low oven (low temperature - not altitude) and left if for some minutes (varies)? It shrinks into a PERFECT REPLICA of a big crisp packet.

(This serves no useful purpose other than fun, but it amuses me the kids.

I have just done the cone/ triangle/ weapon thing!

I am totally ready for a Zombie Apocalypse!!!
