You’re not going to want to listen to me, but you must.

Please take your bag of salt and vinegar crisps and put them in the freezer for a few hours.

Enjoy a bowl of them straight from the freezer.

Please report back with your findings.

😂😂

Spooky. It’s like you have been watching outside my window

I most certainly have not, but if I had I definitely would compliment you on your lovely curtains and ask where you got them 😂

Have you done a blind taste test? I like salt ‘n’ vinegar Discos for their strong flavour and strong crunch combination. I’m not sure where I can buy them locally though. Think I might need to go for a drive this afternoon….

CannyStrudel · 13/10/2026 15:27

I have tunnocks teacakes in the freezer already, and DS is bringing me home some Coop S&CV crisps back from work with his 30% colleague discount, which always makes them taste nicer anyway.

EmeraldDreams73 · 13/10/2026 15:38

Oooh. My family love crisps, I've just put a PSA in our group chat and they're all v grateful for the tip! 😀

Honestly it works with all crisp flavours imo, but i didn’t want to come in too strong, so I thought i’d start with a salt and vinegar soft launch as this gives the biggest enhancement.

I've got a multitasking of Aldi pretend cheesy wotsits.Would it work with them or is that just wrong

Multipack!
I'm prepared to sacrifice one pack to the experiment.

Itiswhysofew · 13/10/2026 15:50

I haven't got that flavour, but will give it a go when I have. Any particular variety?

This sounds good ! Adding salt and vinegar crisps to my shopping list!

Tut who doesn't already have a few packets of salt & vinegar in the cupboard.

Me. I hate all flavoured crisps, I only like ready salted, preferably crinkly ones. Would it work with them ?

Tallestone · 13/10/2026 15:55

I don't have any salt and vinegar crisps or any normal ones. I've just put hula hoops in the freezer and I will report back

ALittleBitofWensleydale · 13/10/2026 16:01

I’ve tried them!
2 hours in the freezer and my salt and vinegar McCoys were…………
sadly disappointing!
They tasted of S and V but with a damp tinge.
Sorry to piss on the party!

I'm a lifelong Salt and vinegar lover, I chuck peanuts in the bag to live life on the edge 😂

Ooh lordy yes.

I'm now very tempted to go for the double and freeze both the crisps and the peanuts. For Science.

If I had read this before lunch time, I could have tested hula hoops for you! Too late now!

I am going to the co-op tomorrow to buy some Chardonnay crisps 🐑

Someone who already ate them all?

gazellefoot · 13/10/2026 16:31

Dare you to do it with S & V Discos.

Ohnobackagain · 13/10/2026 16:33

Well @StiffAsAVicar yummmm - all I can say is this has not helped with my already pathetic attempts to cut down my crisp consumption. But now I can blame you 😎

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 13/10/2026 16:38

Alright you bunch of weirdos, I’m game.

Let me put you out of your misery. I put S&V in the freezer earlier along with a pack of cheese and onion as an experiment. As an afterthought I had a pack of barbecue beef hula hoops so chucked them in too. Verdict ? Cheese and onion works for me. Sharpens up the flavour into a little explosion on your tongue !! The S&V were a bit harsh and I felt as though the vinegar was burning my tongue. The hula hoops don’t work - mine were damp and not as crisp. I think they might be too thick.

I knew someone who did this in the pub, peanuts in a bag of crisps, scrunched them, and called it bombay mix 😅

You know my DH? Although to be fair he got it from his (Indian) former father in law 😆

Holy shit! As if they couldn't get any better.

I have recently rediscovered the Co op S&V crisps and was so excited to eat them last weekend. I had better buy another bag for the freezer 😀

I’m about to blow your mind …

… they also make a PLAIN chocolate version !!

Absolutely scrumptious 🤤

I was feeling all smug at the start of the thread as I am not that bothered about salt and vinegar crisps. Now I'm pissed off that I have zero packets of crisps, of any flavour, in the house.

God damn you!
