    Yeah, his name is Mr. Tayto, and he takes complaints very seriously. You should try him.

    Crisps have become a nice bag of Nitrogen with some complimentary crisps thrown in.

    They are helping to save your life OP. Apparently there is more salt in a packet of Tayto than there is in a Dead Sea fisherman's jockstrap.

    How can a packet of crisps cost 90c?

    Sounds like they might have been split multipacks. I think the acceptable tolerance is wider in mulitpacks, so you might get a 15g bag and a 35g bag when they are all supposed to be 25g, but legally they might not be allowed sell a 15g bag on its own if the pack states 25g. If the overall weight of the mulitpack bag is wrong they might be in trouble.

    Most retail size tayto are large bags, well over 25g, so 15 sounds too little.

    'Hand cooked' crisps are hard and rotten and overly expensive and unnecessary. What does hand cooked actually mean anyway? Most people's hands aren't hot enough to cook anything!
