Crisps have feelings too, maybe
This week, our renegade scientists at SAPS tell us that although we know how crisps are made, we don't know about their emotions. How do crisps feel - happy or sad? And do they feel love?

To find out, the scientists set up a number of experiments.
  • The first experiment observes the reaction of a potato snack to classic chat-up lines
  • In the second experiment, the potato snack is taken for a romantic meal, under laboratory conditions, of course
  • Does it display any of the outward signs of physical attraction?
  • The last test tests how the potato snack reacts to the advances of a qualified scientist


It soon becomes apparent that what had started out as a scientific experiment has turned into something else altogether. so does the crisp feel the same as it did at the start?
