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?

I think it was the oven. Not sure how long for or what temperature.

Never did that. But I recall in bygone days the crisps with a small blue bag of salt in the packet.Those were the days of soda siphons etc and the days when Sunday Lunch pub times were 12.00 - 14.00 and 'Mine Hosts' used to supply free snacks.

Did any HOL'ers do this? Can it still be done? Me & my mates used to stick a safety pin in the back of the packet and then stick them under the grill. After a controlled melt/shrink we had ready made badges. Having said that, I was 12 or 13 when I did this. Cynic or realist? It's a fine line!

Forget all that. Have you seen how Quality Street tins have shrunk over the past few years without (obviously) a corresponding reduction in price? Wife beating may be socially acceptable in Sheffield, but it is a different matter in Cheltenham

Yeah, I remember when I used to see a nice big girl's bum and I could say to my mate "you don't get many of them in a Quality Street tin" well these days you could barely get a tit in one never mind an arse.

I thought this would be about the appalling level of crisps you now get in a packet - ever tried to buy a packet of crisps in M&S - about 3 crisps per packet. Its racist against the crisp eating community is what it is As far as the rules go, it's a website not a democracy - Hambo 3/6/2014

I like to fold them origami style so they end up as a small triangle before putting in bin. Very therapeutic.

We just put them flat on a baking tray in the oven and then with a hole punch you've got a keyring. Optimistic as ever
