Out of interest, are most of their workers 23 stone +, or are they all fedup with being around crisps all day and are now all bronzed adonises?

Good question! I worked in a French bakery once, making croissants, pains au chocolate, that kind of thing. We could take home whatever we wanted pretty much, most workers didn't bother which I found remarkable at first. But it only took about a month of working there (and taking many, many bags of pastries home) for me to then not want to eat another croissant for several years. I think you can have too much of a good thing.
I really don't know if I'd get sick of crisps in the same way.

Macks had a similar policy.
You could eat as much/many as you wanted on the shop floor, as long as you didn't slow production.

The eating as much as you wanted didn't last more than a month. Nestlé stopped this when they took the factory over.

Anyone remember Rishy Crisps?

All crisps are revolting
Except, possibly, Pringles if enough alcohol has been consumed
I have spoken.

I think you've got to the crux of the matter. Without an almost poisonous ethanol intake, they are actually inedible.

Daughter #1 worked at Mickey D's while she was at college. She'd take her meal allowance across the road to Dominoes and the staff there would swap it for a pizza.

Often date a drystone wall rebuild - when say it was last gapped up - by what crisp packets I find. Waller had his snap, put the rubbish in with the fill, moved on. There’s a website somewhere to help date the findings.
On a more serious note, I found this: RECYCLING

That's similar to my first visit to Cadbury's at Bournville.

Being a chocoholic the smell was lovely when I first went into the production area, but when I commented on it I was told that after a few months you don't notice it.

Yep......I worked at Cadburys in late 60s. Could eat as much/many as you wanted. I very rarely eat sweet stuff now
