pandarilla Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Then what the hell are you going to do with Spring Onion? This is the road to chaos 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? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the halcyon days of Tudor crisps spring onion were ace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Edited February 25, 2020 by Boo Khaki 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't find salt and vinegar anywhere. Savages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all you need to know about those deviants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Dark Purple. Pale Purple/Violet reserved for Pickled OnionPickled 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemingly if you ingest too much fat whilst taking them it literally just runs out yer arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
