My Friday night pleasure was a 100 bag of crisps costing £1. In the last couple of years the packet got smaller and today on the shelf was a 75g £1 packet.

I assume 52% of NSC are boycotting Walkers crisps?

Smith's crisps with a little blue twisted paper of salt for me. Preferably in the back of the car while mum and dad have a drink in the pub.

100 bags of crisps seems a bit excessive, but if thats your treat go for it.

Lots of confectionery and snacks got smaller to avoid putting the price up, then they put the price up and made them smaller again.
Walkers aren't very good anyway and you are supporting a huge American company (PepsiCo)
Buy Burts not only great but you are helping a local smallish company albeit in Plymouth.

Ahh simple easy times. Back in the day lots of pubs used to let you just sit quietly in the corner and you'd be happy as Larry with your bottle of Coke and crisps.

I agree with the sentiment, but Walkers are really bloody nice. In fact I'm going to have to buy some now......

Probably one of those "tear and share" bags of the extra crunchy variety, and smash the lot in without sharing. Nom.

UPDATE
Today my 100g for £1 packet of crisps contains only 65g but is still £1
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that a 35% reduction in maybe three years. Are potatoes that expensive or Lineker on a nice earner. Inflation is at around 2% but this equates to about 50% price increase.

But they're helping you to consume less calories and so are Cadburys, by making the product smaller in size but still charging you the same, I know that's true because Cadburys told us what they were doing. This isn't about multi national companies getting richer, it's about them helping to save lives!!!

Old potato head Wallace was doing his factory thing on BBC 2 this morning gawping at stats about Walkers Crisps. Are you telling me that that potato is a bag of crisps? WOW. All of that steam is water? WOW. You have 180000 potatoes on that lorry? WOW. I love crisps.

Well it was a bag of crisps in 2017 in the original programme but this was his lockdown special where he gurns at some poor sod in the factory via video conference for an update on them during lockdown. Couldn't stick it long enough to see if he challenged the bloke on the size of bags. But he probably just asked a question, got an answer and then parroted the answer with WOW thrown in. As that is what he does all the time. How many of those beans end up in a can of baked beans? About 100 Gregg. ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT THERE ARE 100 OF THOSE BEANS IN A CAN? WOW.
