I don't know about that, but I will say that they seem to be a fair bit smaller than they used to be. No doubt the company could justify that on health grounds.

They do a really good mint-flavoured version as well, I've got one of those for tomorrow night.

I know but we only have it about twice a year for a treat

I can remember when it was 30p for a poke of chips

It's perhaps a good thing they're smaller in that case

Hence expressions like 'cheap as chips'. Did you ever hear the expression 'three penn'orth of chips'?

Yeah but I'm too young to know what three pennorth means :lol:

Chips should be free. They're made out of potatoes that grow in the ground for free

I could literally grow my own in a bucket under my kitchen sink if I wanted to

'Three pennies worth' (as I'm sure you realized!). And the thing is, we're talking about the old, pre-decimal pennies, ie 1.75p worth of chips.
