Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

Then what the hell are you going to do with Spring Onion?
This is the road to chaos :angry:
Ah... you could go with the Tudor approach of a mostly white packet, with pale green trim. Clever.
I thought spring onion and pickled onion were the same thing?

Where is the fucking market for spring onion? Who are those people?

Probably the sort of people who were the target market for 'Sour Cream' and Onion, etc.

WTF is wrong with 'Cheese' and Onion?

Also, how come when you go to central europe, there are about a million different brands/styles of crisps in the supermarket, but 99% of them are 'Paprika' flavour?

I reckon this a massively under-recognised driving force behind pro-Brexit sentiment. I mean, who wants to go to some tinpot country like Germany or something where you can't even get a bag of Ready Salted? What on earth do they do when they travel here, only to find that short of venturing into Lidl, trying to find 'Paprika' flavoured crisps is like trying to find an 18 year old female virgin in Dundee? What the hell even is a Paprika anyway? :angry:

I spent about 5 minutes in a supermarket aisle in France last year looking at what I assumed was the "Paprika" section.  Couldn't find salt and vinegar anywhere.

Savages.

The Germans use green to signify hazlenut in chocolate, when it should be for mint. That's all you need to know about those deviants.

Well in fairness to them, shopping in Germany is basically like shopping in the factory outlet for Haribo, so they do have that going for them. But still...

Dark Purple.
Pale Purple/Violet reserved for Pickled Onion
Pickled onion = dark blue. As evidenced by Tudor, the original and for years only producer of said flavour. Well before Golden Wonder weighed in with their purple bags at 1/2p more, and still further before the homogenous snack behemoth which is Walkers consumed all the competition and brought us the abominations that are light green packs for pickled onion and blue (fucking blue, ffs!) for cheese and onion. These people are monsters.

it's a german 'portmanteau' word meaning '18 year old female virgin' - anyone who likes that flavour is tending towards being OFTW

People telling you lengthy stories about their accumulators. "...so then Gremio beat Fluminense as I predicted but wouldn't you know it Dagenham and Redbridge lost to Scunthorpe United and cost me £17.64"

I often like to be a complete p***k and reply "no they didn't they cost you your 50p stake".

Love these, though the dye they use on them is pretty brutal for wrecking clothes:

^^^^ Wife complaining about the skidmarks.

I saw a ricky lake show years ago where they were talking about pringles in this regard. 

Apparently in the US pringles had come up with a fat free version. Instead of fat they had some substitute called olestra that wouldn't be absorbed by the gut. 

Some fat lad in a tracksuit, who said pringles were his favourite, bought and ate three tubes in celebration. 

Unfortunately, three tubes worth of olestra is apparently not something that our sphincters have evolved to cope with and overnight he experienced a quite traumatic level of "anal seepage". 

It was a harrowing tale.

Anal seepage is a side effect of those fat binding pills that were quite big a few years ago.. Seemingly if you ingest too much fat whilst taking them it literally just runs out yer arse.
