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.

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'.

Only auld biddies do this!

Sellotape < Sticky tape.

Sellotape is not < than Sticky Tape, it's the same thing!! How dare you!!

Thermos < Flask.

I've never heard anybody outside of a Hollywood movie call a flask a "Thermos"

Tippex < white stuff that covers mistakes in the olden days before word processing.

Tippex is tippex because saying "Correctional Fluid" is a sin for a number of reasons, not least because it sounds like "Erectional Fluid"!!

Petrol < refined petroleum spirit.

Pertol isn't a brand name.

Astroturf

Nobody smokes that sh*t anymore!

Biro

ChapStick

See "Thermos"

Jeep

Ok i'll give you that one, but that's it!

Sellotape®

I have.

Pertol isn't a brand name.

The word ‘petrol' was registered as early as 1892 in Great Britain as a trade name by British wholesalers Carless, Capel & Leonard and was used in reference to the refined product.

Yeah but it's not <, it's the same job! Just like Tayto isn't < King (coz Tayto ain't sh*t)

Damn!

I shall never use the term "Petrol" again. Not least because Sean Sherlock might have my mouth sellotaped shut for using a trademark........... I mean, he'll have my mouth sticky-backed-plasticed shut!

Especially since that muck is made from rice!

Taytos when asking for the best crisp, because they're the ones I want

Otherwise the generic term.

P.S. if I ask for Taytos in a pub and you say you have them, do not then produce a bag of Hunky Dorys or Walkers or whatever!

Lots of places do it for Coke v Pepsi much too! :-(

You wouldn't serve a Beamish to someone who asked for a Guinness, so why do it for crisp brands ?

P.S. Poll Fail because I call generic crisps "crisps" but I ask for "Taytos" because they're superior.....the OP says they call all Taytos, Taytos - which we all do.....the question is what we call the other crisps we don't want, which probably means we don't call then anything as we don't need to ask for them much.

Yup - Jeep is one very specific manufacturer

I think that's the point - if someone prefers a specific brand then they'll ask for them.

Imagine going into a pub for the first time and asking for "a pint"

Speaking of which - anyone remember "pub crisps" ? They were yum!

Calling crisps 'Taytos' makes a person sound like a total bogger and, frankly, a bit of a simpleton. Cringe.

I actually heard someone say .. (how do I even phonetically write this) .. "a paji' o crips' before. It's confusing, but there's a silent 't' at the end of 'pagi'.

Never mind my ears bleeding, they nearly fell the fcuk off.

I say crisps.
