Should I collect them?

we always end up with surplus prawn cocktail crisps so a few months ago I asked my sister if she wanted them for the kids. She said she did so I took them over (a Tesco bag full). The week after I took another bag full and then the week after that I visited with another bag full. At this point she asked me not to bring anymore as they now had a cupboard full of them and she only allows her kids one packet a day and they don’t always want prawn cocktail.

So the week after I took the bag to the food bank and they didn’t want them either?!

Two weeks went past and I went to sister house and took two full bags of crisps and explained that the food bank didn’t want them. She agreed to take them. Now she’s asking me to collect them as she has too many. I already have a full bag here to get rid of and really don’t want to take any back so I suggested she pass them on to her neighbour. She said she can’t be arsed (to go next door??!) and that she wants me to collect them today. She initially agreed to take them so WIBU to say no? Nobody eats them here so they’d just go to waste.

The whole thing is driving me mad, my mum used to take them and now she’s refusing too.

@GetTheStartyParted OP probably had to switch to Iceland bags now that Tesco carriers are so expensive and she's given her sister so many Grin

I think the answer is 72 bags of crisps

But that would leave her with more than she started with?

Is OP actually breeding crisps & that’s why she has so many? Maybe PC are the best crisp breeding “species”, like rabbits?
