I vaguely recall that back in the midsts of time we used to shrink crisp packets by (and this is a bit hazy so I can't really remember) either putting the packet under the grill or in the oven for a bit.
Did any HOL'ers do this? Can it still be done?

It's a very creative pastime to while away the tedious international breaks.

They could do the same thing with heads in Papua New Guinea presumably, during the close season?

Not wrong. Potato sticks are potato, I think chip sticks might be maize, same as Frazzles. Maize digests easier and the texture and air in the crevices give the product more volume.

They are maize and far superior to potato based sticks.

Chipsticks are a combination of potato and maize.

Very therapeutic.

My mum and my brother do this

Talking of gluten free I did a job for Jennifer Espisito (Actress) a few months back she is the owner of a gluten free bakery in the East Village.

Crisps packets are getting smaller on their own. No need to contribute!

I couldn't care less about gluten, all to do with flavour.

I'm not food discriminate. Unless the food is purple, then it can f*** right off.

I watched an informative video on how to shrink a head whilst in a museum (can't remember which one). I am reasonably confident that if I had to shrink a head I could do it. I've mastered wallpapering now and think this ought to be my next venture.

Sounds natural historyish to me.

I'm reasonably confident I could tan a hide but the bit about washing it in piss and brains doesn't sound like fun.

Couldn’t find the actual crisps thread and didn’t want to spend time looking for it but this should be shared.

Walkers have done the usual limited edition type range of crisps and in co-op they’re only 16 pence for I think 32g bags.

Flavours are:

BBQ something or other. Haven’t tried. Not mad on bbq crisps. Can be alright. I hate normal bbq sauce.

Coronation Chicken. Not bad.

Lamb and Mint. Not quite Brannigans but I recommend. Very nice.

Cheese fondue. Oh my goodness. A massive hit of wotsits flavouring on one crisp. It’s like having the taste of several wotsits in your mouth with just one crisp. More please. Keep making these and the lamb and mint. Might be others but not my kind of flavours.

There are some max flavour McCoys out and I’ve been tempted with the Jalapeño and something flavour but that kind of thing just makes you start a drink more beer, eat more crisps cycle.
