Salty Dog Grrrrrrr | Crisp Trauma
As those of you that know me personally will be aware – I’m (very) fond of crisps. Today I decided to have some lovely (Salty Dog Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar) posh crisps to accompany a lovely sandwich that I’d procured for myself from a local vendor. Imagine my disappointment when, upon opening said crisps, I was presented with this terrible vision:
11 (small) crisps. That was it. 11.
I think a combination of the excessive air packaging and the hand-cooked oil weight put me off-kilter, I can’t imagine I’d have made this mistake with a regular packet of crisps. I guess it serves me right for selecting posh crisps – what was I thinking? This is without doubt the most disappointing moment of the 2010. I was so looking forward to these (normally lovely) crisps.
Gutted.
On the up side there’s a lesson for us all in this: If you must buy posh crisps (and you will), just be careful and compare the weight of two packets before purchase. That way, I hope, you’ll never have to suffer the crippling mental pain of crisp trauma.

Hi there. Not my usual thing to do but feel like I should jump to the defence of Salty Dog. I would guess that you got a duff pack. My local serves Salty Dog and they have always been well filled packs. I also have a friend who sells them in his cafes and trust me, he would not put up with the state of the pack you bought.
I’d send a link to your blog post to their customer services dept. if I where you.
Hi there,
Was really sorry to read your experience of our ‘posh’ crisps. How disappointing for you. If you can email me your details I’ll get our technical guys to give an explanation and send you some free packs to hopefully put a smile back on your face about our brand
Best regards

don’t send him too many free packs please judy. He’s already a very “healthy” boy.
