Isn't that being inconsistent - to call Pringles "Pringles" but not to call Walkers "Walkers".
Especially as "Crisps" is a more convenient name anyway.
It's not like there's a significant difference in the product, other than the perceived fashionability.

I'm feeling rather depressed now - I didn't realise how unfashionable I'd become:
I don't have an iPod or Pringles  | |
