Pizza flavoured crisps tend to be delicious. There aren't enough pizza flavoured crisps in Britain.

Tasty. I suppose that's what the makers label 'grab bag' or 'sharing bag' these days. Have you noticed? Bags with barely enough contents for one person advertised as suitable for two or more. Walkers are big culprits. 45g packs of their regular crisps are deemed 'grab bag's. Come on. What does grab bag even mean? Is it the same as share bag, or does it mean you grab the bag as an impulse purchase or an act of shoplifting? There's a little convenience store on Leicester Square, around the corner from Mr White's, called 'Grab & Go' and is surely an invitation to run in, grab it and go. At any rate, nobody is going to share a 45g packet of crisps, so who are they trying to fool? Slap "big fat eat-til-you-puke grab share bag" on a 50g product and watch the consumers roll in. Same with chocolate. A 104g bag of Munchies by Nestle is sold as a sharer. The reality is that 104g doesn't amount to many pieces and the moment you realize this upon opening it you are not going to share with anyone. Not only do we have to deal with inflation, shrinkflation and all-round consumer hardship but now we're bombarded with messages to share our purchases with other people. I think I'll write a letter of complaint to Walkers explaining that I took a sharing bag of their crisps and started offering it out to perfect strangers on the tube. "I got taken for a pervert by one lady, told to 'fuck off' by another and had my crisps seized by a hungry labourer who spoke no English. What are you gonna do about it?"
But they don't care. Before you know it crisps will be sold individually as pieces rather than a collective, under some fancy brand name like Walkers Wonderful Ones - 0.8g.
