Re: Re:Except of course you can, in most supermakets.
Many years ago, I used to work for "Smiff's Crisps" - the originators of "The Real Thing".
During that time, I remember seeing a copy of the company 'newspaper', carrying an article about 3 women who were the longest-serving production line operators. In the article, they reminisced about how Things Used To Be in Olden Days.
1. Pick up a cellophane bag, and blow into it to open it up
2. Pick up a handful of crisps from the line, and sling 'em in - put the bag to one side
3. Take a piece of the "blue waxed greaseproof paper", & dip it into the open tray of salt, and pinch fingers together to gather a reasonable amount
4. Twist the open ends of the paper together, throw in to the bag of crisps
5. Bring bag to mouth, and lick across the top (as with a postal envelope) then press the now-sticky open end of the bag closed, ready for packaging in larger collections for transport.
Small wonder you can't get the original things these days...
