Crisps - sweet or savoury?

[strawberry2017]

One of us in the household thinks that crisps are savoury/snacks and the other thinks they are classed as sweets/confectionary
Thoughts?

Definitely savoury/snacks.

Obviously savory

The person who thinks they're sweets has got something seriously wrong with their taste buds!

How on earth are they sweets?

Savoury!

Have a look in the supermarket aisles for confectionary and crisps.... totally different places.

... why would they ever be sweets?? What's their logic?

One of you is wrong…

What fecking lunatic thinks crisps are savoury?!

Definitely junk food but also Definitely SAVOURY

Um, most people.

well I'd class them as the same kind of snack as sweets, chocolate, flavoured nuts, chocolate raisins etc..

But I guess they taste savoury

Savoury. No doubt about it!

Usually savoury, but I've had honey butter crisps and condensed milk corn snacks, which are delicious and also sweet.

Yep. Had a couple of drinks. Meant "what fecking lunatic thinks crisps are sweet?!"

Or "what fecking lunatic thinks crisps aren't savoury?!"

Feel silly now.

All of those things fall into the wider category of 'junk food', but nuts and crisps are savoury, sweets and chocolate are confectionery.

You've given me stranger ick.

Of course crisps are savoury - hence the flavours. Maybe they think sweets because you can buy them in 'sweet shops'?

Been on the savoury sherry?

Something like that I

I love the silliness of this 🤣 I know it was a mistake but it has really made me giggle!

Savoury, BUT, fulfill the same purpose as sweets and chocolate. In comparison to, say, crackers and cheese which do not.

If someone offered me some sweets and then produced a bag of Walkers Sensations I would be v confused

Thank you everyone, your thoughts are much appreciated x
