I always feel I'm less likely to chip a tooth or lose a filling on a quaver as opposed to an ordinary crisp. I certainly once did so once on a dorito (is that what they were called?), which I'd never had before (or since) and which looked very risky from the outset but they'd been brought on a picnic for me by friends so I didn't like to refuse. Regretted it immediately.

Yeah, that's happened to me more than once (not on Doritos specifically though).
I stay clear of Pork Scratchings/Pork Crackles which are like biting on granite... Luckily, they also taste like it, so I am less likely to be tempted.
For old-school ones not made anymore, I remember liking Brannigans Roast Beef and Mustard.
Some crisps aren't crisps really though, more corn snacks
Your Frazzles Quavers, Skips etc
DO they need their own thread or are they considered Crisps like a Tomato is considered a vegetable?

Very good with dips, which I have a selection dish of with a bag of Doritos at Christmas, when the diet goes out the window

Absolutely. Teeth breaker and they taste foul. Also don't look inviting when they still have bristles and hairs on them 🤢
Oh man, crisp disappointment is a real tragedy! I totally get the frustration of opening a bag and finding nothing but crumbs. It's like, where did all the actual crisps go?
It makes me think about those food vending machines https://connectvending.co.uk/vending-machines/snack-machines/ you see sometimes. You'd hope that if you're paying for a sealed bag from a machine, you'd at least get a decent amount of unbroken crisps inside! But even then, you never really know what you're going to get. It's a gamble, just like some of these disappointing bags. You're hoping for that satisfying crunch and flavor, but sometimes you just end up with a sad pile of broken dreams.
That's nothing compared to the old days (you're probably not old enough to remember 😁), when the salt used to come separate in a little twist of dark blue paper, and you open the bag only to find the salt missing 😒
