This has been worrying me for some time, and the inclement weather at Heathrow has given me some time to reflect whilst I sit in the MAN lounge. So this is very serious question which needs to be answered. Why do the BA lounges only carry plain and cheddar crisps? Mature Cheddar is the bastion of classic English crisps and there is no finer crisp. Cheddar and <Insert other participant> is usually a match made in heaven and elevates the humble cheddar crisp to a sublime level, therefore this is a Ronaldo (not as poncy and preening) or Dan Carter of the crisp range and should always be picked to represent. However, the plain salted... this is the question, surely this is like picking a 2nd stringer. Like the Mike Catt/Lomu match up in the 95 Rugby World Cup. Its a solid crisp, dont get me wrong, however its a little unbalanced and leaves one wanting just a little more. Surely you want to put in your play maker and match winner to pair with the mighty Cheddar to create a formidable crisp force? Possibly a Brian O'Driscoll of the crisp range if you will? To me that would be the humble Salt and Vinegar crisp. A simple and classically English crisp that packs a massive punch and is adored by all?

Am I overthinking this or has BA seriously underestimated the importance of this humble snack? Thoughts welcome, hopefully they are better than my view on crisps or rugby player analogies.
