Yeah, Kettle are good. They've a far more rustic texture and just feel so much better than bog standard Walkers et al.
Sometimes they do really lean into this posh crisp vibe :lol:
Yeah I don't consider them normal standard crisps.

They're posh crisps - working definition: do you think you should put them in a bowl? :lol:

And incidentally the best standard crisp brand is obviously Taytos :contract:

I don't think any other crisps are so good that they've got a theme park:

I like the Kettle Mature Cheddar ones over here. :)

I am horrified.  I was shocked when I encountered the "tato" plant in fallout 4.  I thought only in a game would people shorten "potato" to "tato". 

I just learned that some people shortened "potato" to "tayto" in real life.  This is beyond morally reprehensible. 

I have no words.

Yes. The only alternative to plain, back in the day.

I'm confused. Why would I not use a bowl (or at least a plate) for any crisp consumption?

A.... plate?

Bowl, yes. Straight from the bag if noone's watching, yes.
A plate seems unnecessarily unwieldy.

Yeah, like having with a sandwich.

I had an English colleague once that ate a handful of crisps and a sandwich for lunch each day. Boggles the mind.

Could even have a crisp sandwich :mmm:

I once saw a gaggle of high school girls eating a packet (or part of a packet) each of cookies for lunch. I guess that's less healthy.

The crisps and sandwich is almost certainly because that's the core in a Boots/Tesco/Sainsbury's etc meal deal. Sandwich + snack (crisps or chocolate or something) + drink for £3-4 :ph34r:
