Taytos or Crisps

meoklmrk91

What do you call them, I call all Tayto's, Tayto's no matter what the brand. I do know people that call them crisps but that just sounds weird imho.

Crisps.

Would be weird calling Pringles Tatyos :pac:

MrStuffins

Taytos if you're a muck savage.

Crisps if you're a normal person.

Why did they call Oisin's brother Tayto?

What a taunt. It's hard enough being a tinker as it is.

You do realise that having a lisp doesn't actually mean words with "S" are impossible to say right? They just say the word and the "S" sounds different.

Why is it when a couple of tinkers rob a horse and the authorities come after them, the authorities are the villains and the tinkers are noble heroes?

:D:D That was soo wicked :cool:


Strangely enough I happen to have an eight pack of Tayto Crisps and it states on the packet “Cheese and onion flavour potato crisps”

In England I used to call them crips cause I cant say crisps… life is much easier for me now so its Tayta’s all the way

Lol.

I was just pointing out that we all probably use a brand name in a generic way, not just 'culchies'.
