McCoy's Classic Crisps Variety - 6 Pack

McCoy's live in the pub lunch and packed lunch corner of British snacking: the bag torn open beside a pint, the crunch alongside a cheese and pickle sandwich. Ridged crisps are their own thing in the UK, and McCoy's is the name most people reach for first.

People who move to Canada tend to miss the small things before the big ones. Not the Sunday roast, but the Tuesday lunchbox with a bag of McCoy's tucked in, and that particular snap the ridges make. That is usually what gets typed into a search bar at eleven at night.

Six individual bags means one for the lunchbox, one for the walk, one for the sofa and three for later, which is the theory. Kept sealed in a cool, dry cupboard they sit happily until wanted. In practice, they are wanted fairly quickly.

The baskets that have McCoy's in them usually have a box of proper tea bags, a jar of pickle and a packet of biscuits as well. A ploughman's at home is not a ploughman's without a bag of crisps on the side.
