Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted February 21, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 These normally wind up in the pound shop pretty sharpish, so I might get someone to bring me some. I sound like a fucking low-rent king, saying that - up on my throne, demanding tributes of pound shop crisps, and Raspberry Ruffles. "Bring me a Wham Bar, knave!" You mean the dollar shop?  Dollar store, actually - my preference is either for the one on Jay Street, in Downtown Brooklyn, or Jersey Dollar - "Bring me some off-brand root beer barrels, and a bag of Andy Capp chips... NOT THE HOT FRIES, CATIFF! THE CHEDDAR!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators neil Posted February 22, 2012 Moderators Share Posted February 22, 2012 Crisps are mostly terrible in the USA anyway. Â UK #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted February 22, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2012 Crisps are mostly terrible in the USA anyway. UK #1  In Canada too, "all dressed" flavor, what the fuck? Also dill pickle is popular but no cheese and onion. The crunchy cheetos (not the wotsits type ones) are the best snack ever though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 22, 2012 Moderators Share Posted February 22, 2012 There are these amazing baked jalapeno and sour cream ones that you can get from Londis that are my favourite crisps at the minute. I don't even know who makes them, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Stephanie Posted February 22, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2012 Crisps are definitely shit over here. Buffalo Wing flavour is the worst one I've ever tried. Disgusting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted February 22, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2012 A lot of crisps over here are shite, but I just had a bag of 7-Select (7-11's own brand) salt and vinegar, and they were blinding. So much salt, and so much vinegar. I was boycotting the place, because they wouldn't help me stand up a homeless pisshead who was blocking the slushie machines, and then claimed he was stone cold sober so that they could sell him the Four Loko he was clutching when he went down. But with crisps like that, and $1 sausage in a biscuit, I'm going to have to throw my principles under a bus. The M5 to Washington Heights, to be precise. #concretejunglewheredreamsaremadeof.

kendal mint cake Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 You all need to hit up the cofresh crisps next time you're up in the foreign foods aisle of your local supermarket. Spicy is not the word, these things are fire. Massive size bag for about 60p and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some 7-11's have hotdog flavoured crisps which are pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted February 22, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2012 A couple of years ago we were on holiday in Egypt, sat having a beer in a bar & the waiter put a bowl of crisps out. I had a few but couldn't quite place the flavour.....turned out they were salt & orange. Not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 22, 2012 Moderators Share Posted February 22, 2012 That sentence was great. Â "Boycotting because they wouldn't help me stand up the homeless guy..." - ahh, that's nice. He was trying to help a homeless guy. What a bunch of assholes they are "..who was in the way of the Slushie machine I was trying to get a drink from" - oh, now the intention seems less honourable "...so they could pretend he was sober so he could buy some booze" - Â hmm. I could see why you might be against that, but I would probably just let the guy buy some booze if he wants to. Â Sausage in a biscuit - is that the American version of a sausage roll then, basically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators neil Posted February 22, 2012 Moderators Share Posted February 22, 2012 A biscuit in the USA is like a scone. The sausage is flat, like a patty. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted February 22, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2012 I figure if the guy was falling down, smacking his head on the floor, and being unable to either get up, or correctly describe the appendage that we wanted us to pull him up by (ie, his arm), it was probably for the best of everyone if they didn't sell him the caffeinated 12% 23oz malt beverage he was trying to buy. I checked, it was even the version that was banned in NYC, shouldn't even be on the shelves. They could get in the shit just for him falling down in their place, and this poor pissed bastard could've cracked his head. Â Biscuits in the USA are like a scone, but fluffy.
