    well one of the previous questions was where is snackdoodle hiding, and the answer was that he came flying out of the red house on the right hand side of the homepage, but I know they said they'd accept any answer that basically pointed there, so I'm sure they'd accept mature cheese.

    That's different though, because people are different so they would word things differently. In that one they said anything close to that they accepted. Even with the oven one, where it goes red, they accepted anything from pinky red, to red, to pink or whatnot, because it depends on how people view it. But with the flavours, there is only one way to write it down, how it is on the site, which is the actual full flavour.

    Like i said, idk if they'd accept it, because we haven't had a question similar to this yet in which people actually shortened the answers.

    150th person is clearly unfair. Most people are entering twice for their OH as well. So in reality its around the 75th person!
    I'm only entering for myself, if I'm meant to win I will! :j

    I only enter once, for me.:p

    I also only enter for me. It's not unfair imo. I bet it's actually a VERY small percentage who enter for OH aswell.

    I hope they would accept it, but I understand where you're coming from, when it's debatable, they accepted different options, but this isn't debatable, it's either the flavour, or it's not. Personally I think they might be a bit more lenient, because unless you opened both of the packets up you can't see the full flavour name, and some people have trouble opening the site, plus if you have the memory of a goldfish (like myself!! :rotfl:) then you wouldn't remember the flavour even if you'd looked at it before. :D:D
  • But mature cheese and spring onion and sea salt and cracked black pepper are the flavours... not with bits of the flavours missing completely!!!
    I would be upset if I had took the time to properly type the proper flavours and someone else won who just beat me, because they were quicker because they missed half the answer out! i entered it properly, and hope very much that all those who did will be classed as the right answer!
    I agree that variants of a description of a colour is different to not getting a flavour right, and winning by being quicker because of this! :mad:

    Ir seems as though a few people are getting their knickers in a twist about this question, it just a competition, not the end of the world. Have fun.

    I dont give a t0ss how many times a person enters, for themselves, partners, children and friends. :D

    Good luck to ALL and i mean ALL. :j

    I completely agree. (except the bit about the goldfish lol:p) I hope for the sake of those that couldn't see and had trouble opening it up, that they are lenient on this too.

    You really need to chill , im sure they will take all answer as they understand what you mean even if you didnt type the whole thing. they excepted all sorts for the answer in the past.

    I enter for me and then hubbie but still no win so dont think that makes any odds either. ;)
  • i am not unchilled! lol I just think with this one, as the essence was speed, being the 150th... that the people who typed the full proper flavours, have probably been outdone by the people who missed half off to be quicker! which, if anyone would be honest... is not fair really is it? :-)
