Crisp Maker

15 May 1997 - CRISP MAKER

Following in the wake of popular promotions by our rivals, we have decided to give away Tazo-style cardboard disks with our crisps.

We've snapped up the license to use images from the popular TV show Doctor Who. But here's the funny: the disks only show out-takes! My favourite is a shot of a furious Tom Baker punching the top off the Tardis control console. Another shows a pair of cybermen kicking a waste paper bin at a cat.


16 May 1997 - CRISP MAKER

My crisp company has gone into liquidation following a court case which resulted in us paying £5 trillion in compensation to a six-year-old girl who found a dead frog in a packet of roast ox crisps.

I wouldn't mind, but they weren't even our crisps! However, the judge ruled that he wanted to make an example of us, so that the offending crisp company would never put frogs in ox crisps again. I don't really understand law.
