The first flavoured crisps were produced by the Irish company Tayto. Not a lot of people know that...lordromford said:

No, it's the fact that before Walkers all crisps had those colours. Except for 'Freddie Bee' crisps that were striped but no-one remembers.Fiiish said:

For a lot of people, I think a big influence is that the main choices of crisp brand were, if memory serves, KP or Golden wonder back in the 70s and 80s. Walkers crisps just weren't the dominant brand back in my (and many others) youth, so we remember the colour schemes from that time. That became 'right' to us.
If you ask people under the age of about 30, I expect most of them will probably associate green with S&V and blue with C&O because Walkers have been the dominant brand since the 90s.
No science in this and I could be wrong, but it seems pretty clear to me.0 -

It's one of those ones where there was no dominant standard but for some reason Walkers went one way and everyone else the other. Similar to how the UK went with 3 pin plugs and everyone else went for a variation of the two pin plug (excepting the handful of countries that have their own weird system).lordromford said:

Waking up with a hangover, trudging downstairs and realising the fridge is devoid of sausages/bacon.
What a terrible start to the day.4 -
Losing two club play off matches in tennis sandwiched between the Belgium protest. 4 months hard work down the drain0

The constant rugby players from yesteryear reminiscing clips they play on the BBC and ITV. Has em sitting in a random disused wharehouse, looking to the side, while they narrate over the top, with the odd clip from them playing in the '70's. It's so fuckin boring, and the less said about Eddie Butler's voice over when the program starts, usually about vikings or someone going into battle, the better.
Sooner watch Harry Hill's Who's Been Framed to take up ths half hour before thd game.
Get on with it FFS!!!!!!1 -
The nine MPs claiming Amazon Prime subscriptions on their parliamentary expense accounts.
The SNP’s Lisa Cameron defended herself by saying, 'the service offered longitudinal savings on timeous delivery costs'. WTF?5 -
Just get 12 email addresses and use one to sign up for the free trial each month, once you reach the end of that month, cancel the subscription (Meaning your not charged) and then move on to the next email address and start over.Raith_C_Chattonell said:The nine MPs claiming Amazon Prime subscriptions on their parliamentary expense accounts.

Absolutely disgusted with Just Eat and with local pizza company, Perfetto Pizza, who cocked up our order resulting in my wife, a pescetarian, eating chicken. Both denying responsibility. Will be taking the matter further and will never use either company again.

I use JustEat myself and have only ever had the one issue with our local Chinese when they sent the wrong order.
At the time I realised the order was wrong moments after the delivery guy had gone and got straight on to the Chinese place to rectify the issue... Thankfully they dealt with it themselves but in your case @Stig talk about passing the buck!!1 -
Never ever order Burger King delivery on hungry house. They purposely fuck up your order and get away with it.0

That Just Eat thing is incredible - I can't believe the guy puts smiley faces at the end of some of his replies.

The worst thing about that Just Eat thing is the horibly patronising sounding use of your name every time.

Twitter is the way forward with this stuff. They couldn't give a monkey's toss one to one correspondence but tweet something and you'll have refunds and compensation vouchers coming out of your ears.Stig said:Absolutely disgusted with Just Eat and with local pizza company, Perfetto Pizza, who cocked up our order resulting in my wife, a pescetarian, eating chicken.

I'd like to think so but I tweeted a couple of hours ago and then forwarded my tweet to them as a private message. So far, nothing.RodneyCharltonTrotta said:
