Unpopular Opinions You Hold

However sorry to detract from the current topic, but here's a (possibly) unpopular opinion:

 

The match threads on here are more reactionary than Parler in the aftermath of the 2020 US Election. And that's saying something.

 

Anyway, do you like Frazzles?

Their Jalapeño and Dill flavour are amazing.

 

And these are sensational. 

 

Someone's doing alright...

Beef Monster Munch are worth a mention. 

Flaming Hot are the best flavour they make. Boils my piss that you can only get them in the mixed multipacks, yet the other two (pickled onion and beef) both come in single flavour multipacks.

God tier 

 

Snaps- spicy tomato

Walkers Maxx jalapeño and cheddar

Cofresh-chilli and lemon grills

 

Bacon flavoured crisps are all kinds of wrong as is salad cream. 

 

 

I'm with you with the Snaps, your bacon crisps and salad cream opinion deserves a ban though imo

I kind of agree but we are a Leicester forum where emotions are high and at their highest in a match or just after the final whistle so I can forgive it.

1. Cheese Moments 

2. Smokey Bacon

3. Wotsits

 

They scrapped the first, local shops delisted the second, and the flavour profile of Wotsits has been changed so they're now rank.

 

Someone powerful hates me.

I should make it clear that I only ever shopped at M&S for my lunch when I worked at a car dealer in Bedford and it was next door.

 

However, I would go out of my way for a bag of that combo mix.

 

And possibly their Korean Beef wrap

First you diss the Tesco's clubcard and now you admit to being an M&S shopper.

People have a few drinks and go to the match and get affected by events on pitch. And rightly so. There should be parts of our lives where passion rules, logic plays no part and we act like humans

With you on those M&S ones, been my favourite for years and in fact bought a bag today.

 

Also like the walkers (I think) max paprika things, and old school crisps like onion rings and chip sticks.

Of course, and it's not a negative thing in of itself (but see more below).

Certainly, as it isn't affecting the team negatively (directly anyhow) and as long as it doesn't bleed into other areas of life where it could cause real problems. It was more a statement than a judgement on those involved.

 

Of course, logic is (or should be) as human as passion is and we need both.

Are you suggesting that to think logically is to not be human? 

 

I fear I'm in a highly unpopular minority on this subject matter - way too much bad stuff in life is excused under the banner of 'pashun'.

Quite possibly.

 

As per above, my own thoughts are as follows:

 

Logic saves our species.

Passion and emotion make it worth saving.

Most certainly not. And we see examples of that every day.

‘Parts’ of our lives where passion should rule, not all. To think logically 100% of the time is to suck all joy out of life. I’ve been dragged out of a strip club at 6am days before an exam by friends who became like family, first night I met my now wife took 5 night buses taking a total 6 hours to impress her by dropping her home on a workinight, went to Heathrow got on a plane to Milan drunk with mates because we wanted a pizza etc etc.

 

of course outweighed by the 99%of times I get up at 6.30am and go to my desk early. 

 

But my life would be a lot poorer if I took the ‘best’ decision ALL the time

Understood. Thank you for knowing I wasn't attacking you, by the way.

Despite it being for a betting company, the Paddy Power Cheltenham advert is actually quite funny.

 

Crouchy, Barry from Eastenders and Colm Meaney.

 

Makes a change from the usual shite, it's been years since adverts used to be entertaining.

Certain ones are better than others though.

 

The long tubes and the lattice ones are far superior to anything else in the bag.

Torres Iberico Ham, Cured Cheese or Fried Egg for me. Crisps of the gods.
