I vaguely recall that back in the midsts of time we used to shrink crisp packets by (and this is a bit hazy so I can't really remember) either putting the packet under the grill or in the oven for a bit. It's a very creative pastime to while away the tedious international breaks. They could do the same thing with heads in Papua New Guinea presumably, during the close season?

Maize digests easier and the texture and air in the crevices give the product more volume.

Crisps packets are getting smaller on their own. No need to contribute!

Edited by Percy of Peckham (10 Sep 2016 6.51am) I watched an informative video on how to shrink a head whilst in a museum (can't remember which one). I am reasonably confident that if I had to shrink a head I could do it. I've mastered wallpapering now and think this ought to be my next venture.

I'm reasonably confident I could tan a hide but the bit about washing it in piss and brains doesn't sound like fun.

Couldn’t find the actual crisps thread and didn’t want to spend time looking for it but this should be shared. Walkers have done the usual limited edition type range of crisps and in co-op they’re only 16 pence for I think 32g bags. Flavours are: BBQ something or other. Haven’t tried. Not mad on bbq crisps. Can be alright. I hate normal bbq sauce. Coronation Chicken. Not bad. Lamb and Mint. Not quite Brannigans but I recommend. Very nice. Cheese fondue. Oh my goodness. A massive hit of wotsits flavouring on one crisp. It’s like having the taste of several wotsits in your mouth with just one crisp. More please. Keep making these and the lamb and mint. Might be others but not my kind of flavours. There are some max flavour McCoys out and I’ve been tempted with the Jalapeño and something flavour but that kind of thing just makes you start a drink more beer, eat more crisps cycle.
