....in protest because they actually want Knick Knacks?

The newletter and text reminder are both spelled Nik Naks, and it has given me the proper rage. Actually they dont want knick knacks at all, they want jumble sale type stuff....clothes, toys, books etc so that has pissed me right off too.

I went to my local home bargains today and there were no Nik Naks Angry
My craving for them has not left me.

OP you should be in trouble for my onset of munchies... But you're forgiven due to a cool film related username!! Grin

@Tigger365 why did you have to remind me they existed? I feel genuinely bereft now.
I truly hope other parents also send in Nik Naks

I lived on nice ‘n’ spicy niknaks for the whole first year of my degree as they were the best thing in the vending machine.
Craving them now.

You must take them in and look very confused.

This thread has just made me want Nik Naks in any flavour which is annoying seeing as I live overseas and don't have a hope in hell of getting any!

The yellow packets, cream and cheesy ones that just don’t exist anymore :-(
They were my dirty, filthy secret

I'm really cross that my local shop have stopped selling rib n saucy and now only doing nice n spicy Angry
They are a bit like Twisties (Aussie snack) I think.

I completely misread this. I thought you were planning on sending crisps when the school had specified a particular savoury snack. Blush
Send them. Grin

I’m a teacher and I’m cackling at this; send them in Grin
I once had to point out that a notice had been put in a local shop advertising that brick-a-brack would be available at our Christmas Fayre.
Turned out not to be some new-fangled sticklebricks Wink

I really want a crap lunch now. Pot noodle, spicy Nik naks and some coca cola and chocolate biscuits.

We need to have a Nik Naks meet up so we can swap the ones we don't like. I know that the scampi ones smell slightly suspect but they're my favourite so would take those over the rib ones any day.

Please do it!

Also, I now really want a pack of the rib flavour ones - haven't had them in years!

BloobCurdling · 25/10/2018 11:26

order one of those big boxes with 24 packs in or something :o

Why does everyone love the scampi ones? IMO they're horrible and smell like unwashed willies. I only like nice'n'spicy. Now need a Nik Nak emoji.

I’d ask them if gimcracks and gewgaws are also acceptable. They are baffoons twice over.
