I feel quite sorry for my friends since the highly regrettable decision by Walkers Crisps to discontinue Ready Salted Chipsticks.
Every year between a few very close friends we have a Secret Santa, where we all purchase one present for another friend in the group (I assume most people know how these work...)
Now, way back in the day, before we had become quite as well acquainted as we are now, it was challenging to pick the right thing for someone. You weren't sure about their particular tastes and preferences or if there was anything they would outright hate! I'm not particularly fussy, but may not be the easiest to buy for. However, I knew when my friends knew me well when one year I was presented with a bag, containing a very delicious bottle of wine and four packs of Ready Salted Chipsticks. I was in heaven! The person who had selected these particular fillers to make the gift up to budget was a genius, and started a trend which lasted for many years. Namely, getting me Ready Salted Chipsticks for a Secret Santa gift every Christmas.
Well done Walkers - you've ruined my poor friends who now have to do extra shopping to keep me happy every year. And whilst they are very considerate and always get me lovely things, none of them are quite as good as Ready Salted Chipsticks!
