    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.

    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?

    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

    If y'all's gonna give out about people calling crips (yes, crips) Taytos, y'all betta stop calling vacuum cleaners 'Hoovers'.

    and..

    Sellotape < Sticky tape.

    Thermos < Flask.

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

    Petrol < refined petroleum spirit.

    Astroturf

    Biro

    ChapStick

    Jeep

    etc etc.

    Is jeep a brand name? I thought it was an abbreviation of GP (general purpose vehicle).

    Lol. :o

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