    Bacon fries gets my vote.

    1. Bacon is just a better flavour that cheese and onion.

    2. Hunky Dorys are just middle of the road crisps in all flavours. Never the worst but far from the best. If a cheese and onion crisp is going to win, then let it be the superior tayto.

    3. Voting bacon fries hopefully avoids a possible all cheese and onion final.

    Unofficial count has it at 13-12 Bacon Fries

    Depends on how Duane's vote is taken though. 'Tactical voting' is that a real reason? I guess so

    If accepted then that's correct I think

    I have no shame

    Its probably the most honest reason you're gonna get in this thread.

    Fake news- Fake news !!!

    You’re thinking of pork scratchings- Bacon Fries are a long established Irish favorite- besides, they’re European, at least till October :D

    Great rationale, Ishmael.

    Bacon Fries!

    They look like bacon
    Taste like bacon
    Smell like bacon


    They’re the Ronseal of the crisp world- they deliver exactly what they say on the pack.


    I would argue that they don't.


    Like they taste good n all, but not like bacon.

    How is that logic. Those are just 3 subjective calls (well maybe not the last one but an all C&O final wouldnt be bad).

    I double dare you to eat one, then some bacon and then see if they taste anyway similar.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23 Hotcups


    I'm getting in on this very late.

    I'm voting for the Bacon Fries as I can't stand C&O Hunky Dorys (salt n vinegar or buffalo and it would have been a different story)

    The only crisps I'll eat in a pub are peanuts!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,176 ✭✭✭✭Cienciano


    Bacon Fries can actually power a diesel car if you're stuck. Squeeze each one between your index finger and thumb over your petrol cap and let the mass of oil flow into the tank.

    I have it 18-15 to the Fries.

    In fairness, HDs have a fair amount of oil on them too.

    Truth here is that a lot of people are falling over themselves to pick the more "novel" option, the smaller packaging, the striped, salty little clits, about fifteen in a bag, but these same people, each and every one of them, eats hunky dorys at least twenty times more often per year because they are a joyous, perfectly seasoned IRISH crisp with a delectable 'crunch' when you bite into them. Packets are generously filled and people don't look at you as if you are a leper with a decomposing liver when you walk around town with a bag in your hands.

    I'm a spiteful person when things go against me. I tried with the coins last night and I'd get two in under the hood and the third would pop out. I was messing around for about twenty minutes on my mother's recliner and went to bed in rotten form. My starting score today is only 15c.

    Don’t beat yourself up about it, it’s a start. I thought you might get 5, 25c, but at the moment you’re “in training”.

    Tell me, did you get a little “excited” at all? If you did you won’t get anywhere in this game.

    And don’t forget to sterilise the coins. I’ll see about doing up some diagrams, or photo sets, of the stretches you can do that might help.

    Is my Reason being counted or not
    Hunky Dorys Cheddar Cheese and Spring Onion


    Its clearly a tactical decision if Tayto Cheese and Onion make it to the final.

    Purely making the point that even though I'm voting for bacon fries, I still wouldn't buy them. And seeing as the only time I see them is in the pub, I'd still pick something else instead of them. It's a protest vote against the vileness of C&O Hunky Dorys!

    I dare you to eat a block of cheese and an onion and then can after can of dog food until your tears smell enough like dog food to make your dog come back.

    I'm predicting Hunkys by 4.
