AIBU?

To get irrationally angry at Mariah Carey's miniscule bite?

Well, mostly. Every time I see the stupid Walkers Crisp advert I get the rage. Why won't she just just eat a crisp? She actively grimaces. Why would you pay someone to advertise a product who won't even eat a bite?!

Am I being unreasonable?

Why did she do it anyway? Surely she can't need the cash - it's bizarre!

Whoever at Walkers crisps paid her gazillions for that advert is at fault.

She clearly never eats walkers crisps and doesn’t think much of them.

Hahahha this has become such a thing in our house. We now all have to eat the first crisp of a packet in the same way in front of each other. It's ridiculous!

I laughed my bloody head off the first time I saw that ad, its so obvious hates the crisps , they could have at least paid someone millions who actually looks like they enjoy the product!

yes...as if she is going to let one single molecule of the carb laden morsel down her throat

I want the elf to drop kick her and take the crisps back.

They could have paid me millions and I would have eaten the multipack crisps for them Xmas Grin

My party trick is a whole bag of walkers in one mouthful.

I’d have gladly taken whatever she was paid to make a salt&vinegar crisp and white bread roll then stuffed it down with gusto Xmas Grin

Oh God I feel actual rage when I see her take those crisps off that poor man, just to nibble the edge.
I feel it would have improved the advert if he bitch slapped the bag out of her hand at the end.

I’m refusing to buy walkers crisps as it’s made me so angry! Just eat the bloody crisp Mariah!

If the advert wasn't bad enough her bloody face is plastered over every single bag of crisps!!!!

Thank you! The world's most reluctant crisp eater gets paid £6 million. It almost puts me off my packet of cheese & onion!

I would have done the advert for a nominal fee.

Genuine happiness when I eat them.

Had no idea so have just watched it. I actually took it that she was signalling her contempt for the loser elf and showing him the ‘right’ way to eat and taunting him.
Think if I saw it again I’d be shouting ‘just eat the bloody thing’ at the tv.

Yetanotherwinter · 19/12/2019 22:33

I hate her and her whining horrible voice with a passion. She has a voice like a lawn mover and actually hurts my ears. I can’t even watch the advert.

The same happened when Walkers hired Elle McPherson! Why do Walkers think hiring these A listers who clearly only feast on caviar would make mere mortals buy their crisps?

The thing that is most annoying is, it’s not fucking real!
Bite the crisp/cut/spit it out
Take 2
Bite the crisp/cut/spit it out
Etc etc

She could have smooshed and chugged an entire bag and then spat it out for all we’d know!

It’s soooooo annoying

Milsplus3 · 19/12/2019 22:53

Agreed she annoys the hell out of me, her high pitched screech is like nails on a chalkboard, clearly running low on money!

LunasOrchid · 19/12/2019 22:56

I'm glad someone has started this thread! I noticed it weeks ago and was so angry 😂

Can we just clear something up.. She doesn't even bite the fucking crisp. She holds it in her teeth by the smallest bit possible.

£6 million she's been paid and she couldn't even chew a crisp!

BreconBeBuggered · 19/12/2019 22:58

Yes! There's Mariah taking dainty little pretend bites and being paid £££s for the privilege, and there's me, a bona fide crisp lover who has never even seen a sprout flavoured crisp.
Waitrose cheese & onion beat Walkers hands down anyway, so get it up yis, Walkers.
