My favourite crisps are salt and vinegar flavour Squares. Though it’s a close run thing with spicy tomato flavour Wheat Crunchies.
What about you guys?

I like the bacon flavoured Wheat Crunchies. And Frazzles.
Doing anything nice this weekend?

Beef flavour hula hoops, clearly the best.

This is clearly an incorrect answer David and whoever upvoted your comment should hang their head in shame with you.
Hula Hoops are little more than reconstituted crisps, a Nescafé Gold Blend equivalent for people who don’t really like crisps.
If you must eat them, the ready salted flavour is least offensive.

The bacon flavour is acceptable but the only reason I would eat them is because I couldn’t find spicy tomato flavour. There is something strangely satisfying about the shape and texture of crunchy, vaguely intestinal shapes.
This weekend I am feeding my wife coffee while three children bounce off the walls and ask every 5 minutes when they can next play Fortnite.

My sister swears that a bottle of Lucozade and a packet of Wheat Crunchies can cure any hangover.

Good luck with the kids.

Not so keen on the stuff. Is there any other option?
What about some pistachio nuts (available from Lidl), they are very addictive.

The problem with pistachio nuts is that a large enough salted bag of them will totally kill me one day.

I like the Cadbury’s “Boost” bar. Perfect for snacking and the extra benefit of keeping moronic at bay.

Have you tried a Starbar? The Boost bar worships at the secret wardrobe altar of the Starbar, yearning to be more like it.
EDIT missed the obvious pun. It’s time I went home.

A bag of cheese and onion crisps and some biltong, while kicking back and watching Lewis Hamilton losing the championship is as good as it gets.

The best thread on Unherd to date, bar the obvious omission of a few large chunks of mature cheddar dropped into virtually any pack of Walkers – Smokey Bacon being the top option.

Perhaps more importantly, can I establish whether cheddar with Xmas (fruit) cake is a general thing, a northern thing or just a my family thing.

Poor decision making – the top option for dropping into any bag of crisps is of course the pickled egg. Verb sap.

My dear old Dad loved a chunk of cheddar with his slice of fruit cake, and he was a Kentish lad. Where Son lives, in Lincolnshire, they traditionally serve cheese alongside Plum Bread for afternoon tea.

Sharp cheese with a sweet made it to America about three centuries ago … shows no signs of fading.

Two favorite crisp flavor – Mutton Vindaloo first, and second Pork Pie.

Gotta love those Sheep, you know Pfizer does, and you gotta love the Pigs too, someone’s gotta keep those sheep in line.

A lot of people won’t get boosted because they have already had covid and don’t subscribe to the pseudo-science of dangerous re-infections.

The last article on the post sensibly related to Covid fatigue.

Read the room, Mr Chivers.

I have no covid fatigue, just covid jadedness – Chivers needs to hype it up a bit – More on how to buy avian Hydroxychloroquine without a prescription at the pet supply shop – and some Bulgarian studies on Azythromycin and Zinc chased with horse de-wormer giving excellent resistance. Maybe the Australian Covid Concentration Camps, and rubber Bullet injuries in Belgium anti mask riots.

There is all kinds of things, just look deeper

I’m going to be watching the action from the Ally Pally tonight. Wonder if Gerwyn Price can retain his title?

I spend most of my time these days grumping at the fact Sky are charging me £67 per month AND hitting me with adverts.

I had Covid. Then had 2 jabs. As far as I’m concerned I’ve had more than enough

So, a booster designed for the first round of Covid-19 will work on this newest mutation. Sure it will. Feel the sarcasm in my voice?

I think the comments section amply demonstrates that it is high time Unherd dispensed with the services of Mr Chivers.
