Hula Hoops are not the greatest but the WORST are Pringles
Are these two essentially the same? Hardened Smash?
Most of the potato snacks that aren't real potato based - proper crisps that is - are made from recovered potato starch, which is a by-product of making proper crisps and other potato processing like chip making. Dried, powdered, reformed and moulded. I had the misfortune to try some Walkers "deep ridge" ones today.
Yeah, any kind of deepridgery (it's a word, trust me) is the devil's own starchy topography. I don't see the point of a legal system if they let people do that to crisps. I don't mind the reformation products provided they taste nice (Pringles, for instance, I mean that's a snack they pretty much showed a picture of a potato to and whispered 'let's pretend, OK?').
There's probably nothing worse than those 'steak' flavoured McCoys. You know those shitty pubs, the ones where it looks like they're running a competition to see if they can go out of business before you finish your pint? They always serve Fosters 'lager' and McCoys crisps. They're like the like the two axes of immeasurable despair.
But stop dissing the Pringles, OK.
Twiglets are weird. They're, as far as I can tell, genuinely some kind of twig. Yet despite this fact, you just can't stop eating them, like you're a squirrel that fallen out of a free and landed on its head, and is now a bit mental and can't tell the difference between woods and acorns. If there's a bowl of Twiglets in front of you, it's a compulsion and you find yourself reaching out and shoveling them into your mouth. You hate it, but in they go. Not many people know this, but that entire scary branch thing in the Blair Witch Project? Twiglets.
