Title: Humdinger Fruit crisps
Post by: on August 19, 2006, 10:41:56 pm

Bought these today for 99p in Tesco.

Actually very nice. Crispy and fruity with a hint of savouryness (word?). I had the exotic mix and they were all nice. 8/10.

Look what else they make! Yum.

It would have to be savouriness - you would have to use the same spelling rule as happy - happiness.

The OED didn't actually list it at all, so I assumed I had made it up!

Yes, you probably have made it up. That's the beauty of language - you can invent words and still follow the conventions of spelling and grammar. Tolkein did it in Lord of the Rings and so did Lewis Caroll in Jaberwocky.

My dictionary says savoriness.

Thanks for your valued opinion. Did you enjoy them?

Would you buy something you thought sounded horrible?

Post by: loulou on August 20, 2006, 07:25:18 pm

Yes because I eat with my mouth not my eyes or ears.

I do always say to my boys that you should try eating everything once to form an opinion of it. Respect others but have your own.

Don't I sound smug!?

Yes.

How do you know you don't like something if you don't give it a try.

Post by: on August 20, 2006, 07:33:09 pm

I wouldn't have went for them ordinarily. I was bedazzled by the packaging (shallow I know) and found them to be pleasant against my expectations.

I've never hitten myself over the head with a hammer, but I think I can pretty safely say it would be painful.

No, just realistic.
