This is the first year in god knows how many years i have decided to give something up. This is all well and good as i have decided to give up crisps as they are my real snacking weakness. But when i started to talk to other people about what they were giving up or were thinking about i got some varying replies.
What gets me is people who wont just give something up, they have to have a way around it or a variation of what they are giving up.
immediately when i inform people of my decision to give up crisps i get a response along the line of, "does that include Pringles and Doritos????" Of course it includes them they are crisps!!!! I know i know a judge has ruled that they are not crisp's for various stupid figures relating to the percentage of potato used and the packaging. They are still crisps FULL STOP!!!! the same with doritos!
This also applys to chocolate. If you give up chocolate/chocolate bars you cannot go and eat a cadburys snack calling it a biscuit!!!! it is covered in chocolate so there for you are eating chocolate and what is the point in giving up so called chocolate bars!!!
If you are gona give up something do it properly and not half assed and taking the piss!! Give up all crisps, or all chocolate or all sweets or all cigarettes. if not don't bother giving something up and stop taking the piss out of Lent.
