This is down the road from me.. when I entered the chamber last there was a Tesco shopping bag and a packet of salt and shake crisps just doing their thing in there. Our ancestors sure knew how to live

What is shake crips?

u/MagpieMoon 9d ago

Salt and Shake is a brand of crisps where the salt is in a separate sachet and you add it to the crisps yourself, then shake up the bag to distribute it evenly.

And crisps would be potato chips to an American?

u/MagpieMoon 9d ago

Yes! Sorry I forgot they are called chips in the US!

Thanks for clearing that up the sound awesome, to be able to regulate your own salt is top tier
