But if you were eating from an open bag of crisps with your fingers ( or any finger food) whilst thumbing through a newspaper you’d be exposing yourself to the same risk of ink poisoning.

Fred the shred Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 They used to put them in a paper bag, small one, before wrapping them in newspaperthat was just to keep the heat in and to entertain you whilst eating the chips. You must have gone to some rough chippies if you had them just in newspaper, even Maggie Spit put them in a small bag first 🤣. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it does make you wonder if a few extra germs may have been a good thing. Boost our immune system? Possibly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
