Youri McAnespie Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 The case was Pringles basically saying 'we're shitbags, our product has hardly seen a spud' to wiggle out of a higher applied tax. Lawlords saw differently. 40% of ingredients was spud derived and this was enough for lawlords. Ruling - Pringles are crisps so pay up you Yank twats. I expect this applies to other reconstituted Potato snacks i.e. Square Crisps, Spirals, Roysters. The corn and maize and biscuit etc. based are not, including; Doritos, Wotsits, Cheese Moments, Frazzles, Chipsticks, Quavers... Need I go on?

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted October 1, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2021 So the corn/other cereal are no longer crisps for the purposes of tax? They should be cheaper then, the robbing gets. What the hell is the rest of a pringle made from by the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Did you actually read the case notes? It's all in there... Anything cheaper than potatos (in Pringles) comprise the ingredients, other than the 40% potato. I bet palm oil and guar gum feature. They still sell 10p snacks at my corner shop, though they're more like 5p snacks of the 70s and 80s in size and contents. Maize/corn snacks usually are cheaper. Chipsticks say are 39p, Walkers 65p..?

Genuinely thought crisps were about 30p a packet 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieb Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 They are by no means the king of Chrisp 💣 But the new roast beef veggie baked efforts from aldi got the nod of approval from me and my lad. Made from dried marrow fat peas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaisyHWanderer Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Love crisps, would pick them over chocolate any day. Salt and vinegar are the best but I'm a sucker for trying new flavours if I see a new one, inevitably they're shit 9 times out of 10. Co op katsu curry crinkles were surprisingly decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got crisps and stand their like a lemon waiting for my change. Guess who never got any change? Asked the girl if the owner wore a stripy jumper and mask.

Site Supporter Spider Posted October 3, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2021 A bag of crisps probably contains a quarter of a medium sized spuds-worth of crisps. For Walkers, that’s a landed cost of about 1pence. Add in 2-3pence for flavourings and packaging, 1-2pence for transport, 1pence towards advertising and Linekers fees, and that it. And I’m being generous. Retailers selling at a pound are making a minimum of 75pence. For that kind of profit, they should expect several smacks in the face and be willing to get several more.
