this level of crisp consumption isn't normal?

[BelleandBeast]

A food delivery came yesterday, including 14 packs of hula hoops and 6 packs of quavers, total 20 packets of crisps.The DDs and I had a packet each yesterday and DD1 had a packet in her lunch bag today. So that accounts for 4 packets. So there should be 16 packets left.

I've just looked and there are only 11 packets left. Which means that DP ate five packets of crisps yesterday. He's a greedy pig right?

I don't know, it sounds lots but if I was having one of those days I could eat 5 packets of hula hoops for sure. I'm more surprised that anyone would count the packets of crisps in their house. Have you been snowed in and run out of stuff to do?

He's an adult, he's got to the age he is without becoming unwell from crisp consumption (I'm assuming). I think you have to let him choose how many crisps he can eat and not call anyone a greedy pig because it's rude and unkind.

Okay but are these child size hula hoop packs? Because a bag of hula hoops Vs a bag of McCoy's - big size difference!

I fucking love crisps, they're a complete food group. If i'm feeling posh i'll put them between some bread and butter and happily eat nothing else. Order more.

I counted them because I'm a childminder and needed to see how many packets are left for the other children - if there aren't enough to go round nobody gets any. No matter how many packets I order, he eats most of them.

Actually, same goes for biscuits, cake, anything really.

That could be me except I hate hula hoops. Any other crisp is fair game and can easily get through 5 packs in a day.

My crisp filter seems to be broken.

Dm has to hide them from s-df as he'll eat them all in one go. Mind you he's the same with all the food.

I cannot buy crisps as I will eat them all. I just love them. Frazzled and Discos and skips.... if I'm feeling posh it's Walkers Ready Salted with a chunk of mature cheddar...

Won't touch biscuits. Chocolate, meh. Can't get enough of crisps.

I could eat 5 packs of hula hoops right now

Hula Hoops aren't great for butties though, they're all wrong, and frankly the Cheese and Onion ones are horrid.

HIBU if he's had the cheese & onion ones first.

i eat 6 packs yesterday.....

*ate

This thread just made me open a pack of crisps

This is why I rarely buy crisps 🤣 It's like they are magnetic 😉

I have no crisp filter at all. So I don't buy them.

This is why I never buy crisps. Pringles really hit the nail on the head with their slogan "once you pop you can't stop" so I find it's wise not to start!

HarrietKettle, you ought to change your name to Harriet Kettlechip.

OP I agree.

You need a crisps safe.

My dad used to eat all the crisps and lie to my mum about it, when they separated (amicably) mum said now he’ll realise how many crisps he eats because he’ll be doing the shopping! He just stopped buying them in the end
She also used to hide the nice ones and leave the Tesco value packets in the cupboard for him

The Aldi root vegetable crisps are wonderful and they don't feel as bad for you. Pringles should carry a health warning. A ham sandwich requires crisps by law in my world.

Never buy them. They make me fat.

If I'm hungover, I could easily get through 5 packets.

If I did it on a normal day, I'd gain weight sharpish.

I hide my tomato ketchup crisps in my work rucksack or my OH who doesn't apparently like them, will snaffle as many as he thinks he can get away with.

Crisps have loads of oil in them I think 5/6 packets is the equivalent to 100ml of vegetable oil. I’m sure there was an advert a few years ago (by the British heart foundation if I remember correctly) that said 1 packet of crisps per day = 5 litres of oil a year. It really put me off giving DD crisps that often. She has 1 or 2 packets a week tops because of that.
