Dear Walkers Crisps,

Your crisps are really tasty. When will you be making a full bag?

I agree that sometimes their crisps do taste acceptable. My big problem is with them only filling the bags half way! They never use to do this in my youth. So it seems as though they've sneakily introduced this half-full crap and kept it on the down low. I don't buy the idea that filling them half way is done so they aren't crushed in the factory. With the current state of them being half-full you'd have a 50% chance of this occuring anyway, I'd think. I wouldn't mind having a few crushed ones if the overall volume of product was greater!

Clearly you eat more than your fair share of crisps.

No one who doesn't would post a rant like this if they didn't consume vast quantities of crisps.

Ah, so anyone who rants about a product must consume vast quantities of it? Can you provide evidence for this statement, or are you just firing out assumptions to mask the fact you're floundering?

I've tried but I can't tear myself away. You fascinate me.

I thought you said you were going to "leave me to my crisps"? Should I take the fact that you had to come back in again for another failed pop as evidence of your deplorable willpower?

I'll take that as a yes, then. How sad.

Your turn.

Evidence? You're my Exhibit A...

Come on how many bags of Walkers have you munched between typing?

Record levels of word debt and poverty, the ice caps are melting and there are crazy folk hell bent on blowing us up in a bid to meet their maker and claim their 72 virgins. Never mind all that nonsense man my bag of Walkers is only half full!!!

If you think that whenever you buy something you are getting a full bag and don't look at the weight of the product inside then you should not be allowed out to go shopping on your own as you are clearly a danger to yourself and those around you!!

The bag could be 1 metre long and half a metre wide, but so long as there is 25g/30g (or whatever weight the bag states) worth of crisps in the bag, that's all that matters and they're doing nothing wrong.

None! I'm sitting here with a cuppa enjoying the verbal tennis. Unfortunately, you aren't providing much in the way of an argument. Still waiting for evidence for your assumption that anyone who rants must consume a vast quantity of the product.

Thanks, but you're beginning to sound socially inept. Are you feeling okay, mate?

You are not buying a full packet you are buying the weight of crisps inside the packet. Next time take them home and weigh them if you think it is wrong and then complain to trading standards. Why don't you then get other packs and weigh them too to ensure you are not being hard done by.

Then you can complain to Which, Watchdog, Consumer Direct and then to Trading Standards, you seem like the kind of chap who has nothing better to do with their time.
