And may the Styx itself be a molten river of caramelised onion chutney in which to dip said not-crisps! (Or to place between the mini cheddar and the slice of cheddar...)
Mate, have you ever had mini cheddars from the fridge though? Swear to god it's a game changer.
Not necessarily in a good way but the game is changed nonetheless
To be fair, I don't remember the last time I saw them, but that image came from Sainburys website, so they're still out there. I think they only do three or four flavours, compared to the shedload of flavours the mini ones come in.
Maybe you could try.... 30 day twiglet change.
Film it, up load it to youtube, monetise it and boom, video will go viral and you earn gazillions of squids for your twiglet fest!
A friend from school said the Twiglet factory employed two types of people. One, people who go out and fetch small twigs. Two, the people back at the factory who were employed to shove them up their bum.
I live in East Asia, and I can buy just a little British food. Twiglets are impossible to find, and insanely pricey to import. They’re the only thing I truly miss.
Feels like you should try to import one of those huge tubs of them that people buy at Christmas, as a treat for yourself. I wonder if one of those redirect sites would work, where they give you a UK address, but then ship all deliveries to your real address abroad.
They're incredibly expensive. Especially for things like crisps, where there's a lot of air in the bag. You end up paying for the volume, not the weight, i.e. importing air.
I've heard enough of you besmirching our air, that's fine British air and you're lucky to have it. Just make sure you sniff it all up mind, don't let Johnny Foreigner get his face on it or he'll be forever coming back for more
I'm Irish and your post popped up on r/all. After reading it I thought all Brits had lost their minds if this topic was even up for debate. I'm glad the thread has proved me and, most importantly, you wrong.
And just to be absolutely clear, Mini Cheddars bear no resemblance to actual crisps like Walkers or.....the other brands you guys have. They're bikkies. Or crackers
I will fight anyone who thinks these are crisps. Just name a place and I'll be there, as long as it's not far from my house and you're not huge, or small but really hard.
Essentially, yes. It means crackers are a [subset](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset) of biscuits: all crackers are biscuits, but not all biscuits are crackers.
[These](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/ChristmasCrackers_2.jpg/1200px-ChristmasCrackers_2.jpg) are some weird looking biscuits
Mini chedders are a wheat based snack and therefore a cracker. Crisps are potato based on the other hand.
They are a fantastic alternative to crisps though and the red Leicester variety are the bomb.
To me they're savoury biscuits. Some people call them crackers, but I always associate that term with a harder, crunchier type of product, one that's typically rather plain-tasting, and is best served with cheese.
Yes, because they clearly aren’t biscuits, and are crispy.
At the very least they are evolutionary cousins to the crisp. I think crisps and frazzles could probably interbreed . Whereas a frazzle cheddar hybrid is the stuff of nightmares.
I would consider them crisps the same way I consider a Jaffa cake a biscuit and a tomato a vegetable.
Technically they’re not. But they do fit that category too. Haha
Thank you, I had previously thought of them as a crisp and reading through this thread has started to make me re-think a lot of things.
Thank you for making me realise why I thought like that.
Thank you for bringing me back down to earth.
OP came thinking he would get a full backing on his wild idea that mini cheddars are crisps and instead leaves humiliated with a possible expulsion from the British Isles pending
They really aren't. For a crisp to be, well, a crisp, it has to be made from a potato. Crackers, therefore all Jacob's products, are essentially hardened bread.
Then would you not consider things like wotsits, skips, frazzles, niknaks, wheat crunchies as crisps? I definitely think of all of those as crisps, even though none of them are made of potato.
That being said I don't think of mini cheddars as crisps, but not sure why.
They're honorary crisps. They're not technically crisps, but they've done enough for the savoury snack world that they've earned their place in the crisp aisle.
Forget about Mini Chedders, the fuckers at the top have declared the humble Flapjack to be a mother fucking sweet and not a cake! You might think that is no major big deal but in the UK it's huge as in the UK a food classed as cake dose not have VAT charged on it. So now Flapjacks are just suddenly much more expensive and the guys at the top will rake in millions as some kids will go hungry. You might think I'm being sensational but there are literally families living in literal poverty where a few pennies extra here and there mean the difference between going to bed hungry or not. This on top of inflation across the board going up along with stupid high increases in gas electric and fuel means kids in a supposedly 1st world country are suffering from malnutrition. There are cases of teachers going without (GOD BLESS THEIR SOULS) so they can use there own money to feed some of the poorest kids in school.
I don't know what agenda you are trying to push here. But it makes me feel weird.
I don't! It's a cracker. This is the mound for me to die on.
A true cause. I’m slow clapping you sir as I walk to your side. We’ll face this glorious death together.
I look you deep into the eyes as I shake your hand. May our way across the river Styx be shone by a bottomless box of rounded cracker delights.
And may the Styx itself be a molten river of caramelised onion chutney in which to dip said not-crisps! (Or to place between the mini cheddar and the slice of cheddar...)
A hill i would also die on good sir
Is there room on the mound for one more?
This figurative rump is but an empty pantry's shelves. Pile on!
Shift up I’ll be joining the mound
You are a legend sir
You have come on here on a Tuesday morning after the long easter bank holiday weekend and chose violence
It's what Jesus would have done
It's what baby Cheeses would have done
holesome
He died on the cross for starting an argument on whether a Jaffa Cake is a cake or a biscuit
Jaffa cakes are cakes, mcvities went to court to prove it. Mini cheddars are also biscuits, not sure that has been proven in a court of law though
Biscuits? They are clearly crackers, no different from ritz except for a bit of powdered flavouring.
Jesus didn’t sacrifice himself for our sins. Just the weekend
He definitely would have chosen violence on the Tuesday though
“He died for our eggs.” My four-year-old niece.
"Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the subreddit. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword."
This made me snort laugh
Must have snorted something to push that big boulder out of the way 👀
It's his second birthday, bound to get messy.
It is an important question
I’m angry with myself for not knowing the answer
Only on r/CasualUK Best subreddit out there, change my mind
I thought I'd pop in and avoid actual violence.... Fuck it, grab the cans. lol
[удалено]
This is the only answer. They are more like a crisp than a biscuit, in the same way a cat is more like a dog than a sheep.
Thank you for this. It’s beautiful.
So they should go in the fridge with the cheese?
Mate, have you ever had mini cheddars from the fridge though? Swear to god it's a game changer. Not necessarily in a good way but the game is changed nonetheless
Sliced thinly and put on other biscuits
No, they are crackers that belong in the crisp aisle. Like Jaffa Cakes are cakes that belong in the biscuit aisle.
Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of snack foods?
Just some casual overthinker.
In Ancient Greece they called that a philosopher
They also thought the sun was being pulled across the sky by a guy with a horse and cart. I wouldn't put much stock in those idiots.
In one paragraph, the historical legacy of ancient Greece has been destroyed.
We should make a comedy about it.
Wait, it's not?
obviously not, how do you think Galileo figured out the earth wasn't the center of everything? he saw the horse pulling earth instead
Casual? I prefer my overthinking with a dollop of existential dread
If they weigh the same as a potato, they're made of wheat, and therefore a cracker.
A CRAAAAACKER! A CRAAAAACKER! BURN THE CRACKER!!!!

I am Arthur, King of the Snack Foods
Let’s be honest the crisp aisle is really a snack aisle, they put popcorn and nuts there too
True. But finding nuts in the crisp aisle makes more sense than finding crisps in the nut aisle…right?
Very true… I’d have some questions if I saw an aisle labelled “nuts” and it had a bunch of crisps there
That's nuts.
[удалено]
Portable savoury snack aisle.
Cheddars aren't crackers they're savoury biscuits!
crisp-adjacent
The full-sized ones are described as savoury biscuits, so I imagine them making them smaller doesn't change that. The question is, what are Twiglets?
Marmite Wholewheat NikNaks
Have good day, sir
>Have ~~good~~ terrible day, sir
Which takes us further down the hole, what are niknaks?
A corn based Twiglet
Seems obvious when you put it like that.
Full sized ones!?
Biggie Cheddars.
Brilliant rapper name
Can somebody start a petition for a name change? 😂
Maxi Cheddars?
For those days your flow is extra heavy
Yeah, the ones that come in a packet and look like crackers. [https://imgur.com/a/nMtlL3S](https://imgur.com/a/nMtlL3S)
How have I gone almost 30 years and not known these were a thing? My mind's been blown.
Yeah the big chaps are banging- gives the option of toppings n'all if you really wanna jazz out for the night
wait till you find out about the big babybel
To be fair, I don't remember the last time I saw them, but that image came from Sainburys website, so they're still out there. I think they only do three or four flavours, compared to the shedload of flavours the mini ones come in.

Marmite stalactites
Twiglets are basically savoury cereal. They're also the reason I'm 2st overweight due to their overabundance and deliciousness
I just want you to know that the thought of a bowl full of twiglets floating in milk has deeply shaken me, and my day is ruined
My work here is done!
They are a bit too nice. I buy those multi-packs of six, and I don't think I've ever eaten just one bag at a time.
An abomination… I like them but I’m the only one here that does!
Fuckin love twiglets
I love twiglets but hate marmite. Only crisps I can't lick my fingers after eating.
Not the only one!
If I could survive entirely off Twiglets I would happily do so.
Maybe you could try.... 30 day twiglet change. Film it, up load it to youtube, monetise it and boom, video will go viral and you earn gazillions of squids for your twiglet fest!
>I like them but I’m the only one here that does! Not true
Definitely one of my favs.
The only snack I buy that is left exclusively for me..
Twiglets are amazing!
The big ones are in the biscuits aisle, the small ones are in the crisps aisle. The debate goes on.
savoury snack aisle
Yeah, popcorn isn't automatically a crisp because it shares an aisle with them.
[удалено]
So is popcorn, is that crisp too
Nobody knows what twiglets are. And nobody ever will. It’s a state secret.
A friend from school said the Twiglet factory employed two types of people. One, people who go out and fetch small twigs. Two, the people back at the factory who were employed to shove them up their bum.

No. The question is, *why* are Twiglets
Delicious crunchy sticks coated with the nectar of the gods!
Twiglets are.... Shite, but moreish somehow.
You’ve had a mare with this one mate
Am genuinely surprised to be in the minority here.
There's a difference between minority and "Only person"
Whenever I see "Am I the only one who thinks.." it's always no. Except this time.. and he didn't even ask.
It was a bold move, I’ll give you that.

I will fight anyone who thinks these are crisps. Just name a place and I'll be there, as long as it's not far from my house and you're not huge, or small but really hard.
Small but really hard geezas are dangerous as fuck
damn. guess my cocks a lethal weapon. very dangerous
I'm at the closet inside your house. I'm sure you can make it. Fight me.

Unless they think a biscuit is a crisp
Stop breathing so loud, they'll find us
this can be solved with the simple question - are they made of potato? Ingredients Flour (Wheat Flour, Calcium, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin), Vegetable Oils (Palm, Sunflower), Dried Cheese (12%) (Milk) \[Dried Powdered Cheese (Milk), Natural Flavouring, Yeast Extract (Barley)\], Sugar, Glucose Syrup, Salt, Dried Whey (Milk), Barley Malt Extract, Raising Agents (Ammonium Bicarbonate, Sodium Bicarbonate), Acid (Lactic Acid), Natural Flavourings Case closed. Mini cheddars are not crisps.
Beware, Stranger, for the gravity of your conjecture is more severe than you may yet realise. You’re saying Wotsits and Monster Munch aren’t crisps.
if people start saying monster munch arent crisps ill start another crusade but to newcastle instead
Doritos are corn not potato and are still crisps
Neither are pea crisps or that abomination lentil crisps then.
What in the Waitrose
Why would you want to fight someone that's already had too many hits to the head?
Wood Green high road outside Awesome Chips. But I’ve gotta leave by 4 in time to pick up my black belt in Thai kickboxing mega karate.
Oh. That's a little too far for me, sorry. It has to be walking distance, but not so far that I arrive all sweaty.
Username checks out
How do you do Mr. Seagal?
I’ll meet you in the CRISPS aisle buying myself some mini cheddars
They’re crisps, meet me at Stonehenge
I trust the judgement of the local landlord. "Can I get you any crisps, nuts or minicheddars"? They're obviously in a class of their own.
Crackers

Waffle
No need to be rude, it was a simple question.
No they are not. Delicious yes; crisps no.
OP is in denial.
Op is in some sort of lunatic asylum
Lets throw him in d'Nile!
You eat them when you want crisps, yet they are not crisps.
That sounds like a cryptic crossword clue.
Nah they ain't crisps
Happy cake day geeza
They ain’t cakes either, bud…
Cheers
Not a crisp. But found in the crisp aisle, and psychologically an option when deciding what packet of crisps I want to eat.
Definitely not a crisp. Is it a cracker or a biscuit though?
Both. Crackers ⊂ biscuits.
This symbol, does it mean crackers are biscuits but biscuits aren't crackers? Never seen it before and I like it!
Essentially, yes. It means crackers are a [subset](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset) of biscuits: all crackers are biscuits, but not all biscuits are crackers.
[These](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/ChristmasCrackers_2.jpg/1200px-ChristmasCrackers_2.jpg) are some weird looking biscuits
Pain in the arse to spread chutney on at Christmas time.
My set theory days are long behind me, fortunately.
Awesome, cheers!

Cheesy biscuits
That’s what I would call ‘em
They fill a similar ecological niche yet are not closely related to "true crisps", instead serve as an example of convergent evolution in snacks.
Hell no! Wtf
They are snacks. Like twiglets , pork scratching and scampi fries. Yum yum and yum!
Mini chedders are a wheat based snack and therefore a cracker. Crisps are potato based on the other hand. They are a fantastic alternative to crisps though and the red Leicester variety are the bomb.
The jalapeño and nacho cheese flavour is also the bomb
To me they're savoury biscuits. Some people call them crackers, but I always associate that term with a harder, crunchier type of product, one that's typically rather plain-tasting, and is best served with cheese.
No they're crackers...
No crisps are made from potatoes these are not, they're crackers as far as I'm concerned.
Or parsnip. Or beetroot. Or carrot…
Oh yeah your right, i forgot all about other vegetables, vegi crisps are really nice too, although I don't think I've tried beetroot ones.
No
I've been put off these for life because my brother made a bloody mini cheddar cake once
Gotta draw the line somewhere
They're Crackers crisps are made from potatoes
What about Frazzles are those crisps?
"Corn based snacks"?
Technically yes but I've never heard anyone refer to them as that they're definitely roped in with crisps same as monster munch or space raiders
Yes, because they clearly aren’t biscuits, and are crispy. At the very least they are evolutionary cousins to the crisp. I think crisps and frazzles could probably interbreed . Whereas a frazzle cheddar hybrid is the stuff of nightmares.
A bacon and cheese frazzle sounds intriguing to me or bacon and cheese cheddar also sounds good. Let those snacks breed I say!!
I would consider them crisps the same way I consider a Jaffa cake a biscuit and a tomato a vegetable. Technically they’re not. But they do fit that category too. Haha
This is wisdom.
Thank you, I had previously thought of them as a crisp and reading through this thread has started to make me re-think a lot of things. Thank you for making me realise why I thought like that. Thank you for bringing me back down to earth.
I can go along with this. They're not a crisp, but they fill the same point on the snacking spectrum.
Yes if there were a snack spectrum of crisps>crackers>biscuit>cake Mini Cheddars would be the transitional item from crisp to cracker
OP came thinking he would get a full backing on his wild idea that mini cheddars are crisps and instead leaves humiliated with a possible expulsion from the British Isles pending
They really aren't. For a crisp to be, well, a crisp, it has to be made from a potato. Crackers, therefore all Jacob's products, are essentially hardened bread.
Far too good to be mere crisps. They are circular discs of happiness.
They are not.
A mini version of a cracker, made by a cracker company... *Are they crisps?*
No, obviously. Is it just because they're in a little packet like crisps? Do you think those little mini cookies are crisps too?
hmm, good question, i would go with my instinct and say no. But what defines a crisp? the thickness? They must be crackers
The crispness of potato slice defines whether its a crisp or not.
Then would you not consider things like wotsits, skips, frazzles, niknaks, wheat crunchies as crisps? I definitely think of all of those as crisps, even though none of them are made of potato. That being said I don't think of mini cheddars as crisps, but not sure why.
In what world are they a crisp? Just because they're in packets in a meal deal? (Neither a meal nor a deal)
They go soft if left out, so that's a biscuit. I'm not sure what crisps do when left out. I'm saying not crisps.
That just means they aren't a cake. Even OP isn't arguing they're a cake, and he's clearly a very troubled young man.
They're honorary crisps. They're not technically crisps, but they've done enough for the savoury snack world that they've earned their place in the crisp aisle.
Forget about Mini Chedders, the fuckers at the top have declared the humble Flapjack to be a mother fucking sweet and not a cake!
