Crisps

[Bazile]

Why doesn't our office canteen have smoky bacon or beef and onion crisps for sale anymore .

Yes i've asked and noone seem to know why .

Are you experiencing a similiar thing where you are ?

[mccfluff]

because they aren't buying them

[EcclesCake]

There are flavours other than salt & vinegar?

[Bazile]

//because they aren't buying them //

erm yes - why not is my question

[murraymints]

tomato my favourite can't find them either

[mrs_overall]

What bugs me is when I want to buy a bag of Hula Hoops or Quavers (my faves) and they only sell them in those supersize bags that would feed a family of Ethiopians for a month.

[Old_Geezer]

The meat flavours are not ones I tend to go for. I can imagine sprinking salt or cheese over crisps but meat seems a little strange. Maybe that's a common feeling so they don't sell as many ? (Probably none of the actual flavour ingedients used anyway.)

[Old_Geezer]

Ah yes; family sized bags when I am only one person. Not a good idea.

[anneasquith]

because they give you smelly breath ?

Well it's nothing to do religion or vegetarians. The only flavour that contains any animal is cheese and onion.

[EcclesCake]

Don't fret O_G, many meat flavoured crisps are suitable for vegetarians where as many Cheese and onion are not :-/

[aelmpvw]

perhaps a member of staff of a particular religious denomination made a complaint

[heathfield]

And why does no one stock Branston flavoured Mini Cheddars? They're still occasionally around as part of those big 'variety' multipacks, but not as individual packs. Grrr!

[knowabit]

Walkers have stopped making Steak & Onion flavour... they were my favourite!

[Bazile]

//perhaps a member of staff of a particular religious denomination made a complaint //

You could well be right aelmpvw - there are a lot of people from ' a particular religion ' where i work

[mrs_overall]

and another gripe....I bought a Mars bar yesterday for the first time in years and they have shrunk!

[Bazile]

Meanwhile ,look what's happening over at Subway

[mccfluff]

find out who does the purchasing and ask them, perhaps meat flavoured crisps didn't sell as well and they ended up with a surplus, maybe the purchaser has an irrational fear of meat flavoured products

OR they're doing it deliberately to annoy you and they are on sale, just not when you go onto the canteen

[shoota]

Yes Mrs O, Marianne Faithful is fuming.....

[marval]

I like the marmite flavoured ones, I haven't seen them for ages.

fnar fnar!
