To cry over potato smiles

[DwangelaForever]

Background: nearly 28 weeks pregnant and I've been thinking about McCain's potato smiles for weeks - the deep fried ones that you got back in school dinners in the 90s so finally got my hands on a bag at the weekend to cook in my activefry

I've just went to chuck them in and just realised that they have fecking sweet potato in them .

Actually starting crying

Why did they have to ruin a good thing.

Nb: I haven't actually tried them yet but I'm assuming the worst

YANBU sweet potato needs to wind it's neck in imo! Its getting everywhere atm and well, potatoes just shouldn't be sweet!

I will give you a sticker if you try 😀

YANBU to want to cry, sweet potatoes don’t belong in smilies.

But, I think you’ve just bought the wrong ones. You can still get plain potato ones, they sell them in tescos.

Ahh you’ve picked up the wrong ones. They still do the usual plain potato ones.

Sounds like the sort of thing that would send me over the edge I bottle up things until the tiniest issue has me blubbing!

You can get plain potato smileys though, I made some just the other day. They're DS' favourite and, like you (and me) he can't stand sweet potato!

I'm even more annoyed at myself now that I know they still do the potato ones!

Will let you know how I get on! @abbsisspartacus yess on the sticker front

I cooked - and burned - these when I was pregnant. I burst into tears when I saw their little burned faces grinning up at me when they came out the oven.

They aren't even potato (evil importers)!

Imposters (damn autocorrect)

YANBU, I do like sweet potatoes but smiley faces should be real potato. Crying over a pregnancy craving is perfectly acceptable, I’d been housebound and desperate for a strawberry milkshake. Someone eventually bought me one and I dropped it on the floor. You’d have thought someone had died

Update: ate them like a trooper even though they were stinky sweet potato! Toddler loved them, didn't tell hubby and he didn't say anything so it must have gone over his head.

Will deffo be buying full potato ones next time but tbh I'm not really that bothered anymore 😂.

So annoying cause it's the first thing I've craved this pregnancy that I've been able to get

I once balled my eyes out because my bread wouldn't fit into my toaster and I had to cut the bottom off.

I wasn't even pregnant. id just had a very hard week.

My ds wanted smilies. I cooked said smilies and left them way too long. Told ds they had been on their holidays. He still remembers this now

I've found my people...I also hate sweet potato.

Fucking sweet potato thinking it can insert itself into everything these days! They have ruined countless products that sounded lovely until you see "and sweet potato" and do they care no they don't they are laughing right in our faces.
Dirty sweet bastards that they are!

I cried when heavily pregnant and the oven broke - was going to make nuggets

Someone eventually bought me one and I dropped it on the floor. You’d have thought someone had died

Entirely reasonable response when pregnant. I dropped my freshly pinged microwave curry on the floor once whilst pregnant. Was one of life's low points.

I nearly began divorce proceedings when DH caught me pregnantly sobbing over my custard slice need... I couldn't find any in the shops and moaned about it every day. "Oh that's funny" he said, "there are always loads in the bakery next to my work" . But he'd never ever got me one! Bastard.

OP, YANBU. The pregnant woman needs what she needs.
