IT IS SIMPLY a crime not to open a packet of crisps in an Irish pub like this.

We can’t believe it’s 2016 and some people still don’t know this

Here is WHAT NOT TO DO ^

If you purchase a pack of crisps at the pub and don't open the pack up to share you are not a true friend

Shivers, actual shivers.

It is VITAL that we get through to kids as early as possible

Just shown my 9 year old son how to open a packet of crisps in a pub. I am now eating them. pic.twitter.com/ojn4oL8I65

Basically, we’re not saying you’re a bad person if you don’t do this

You’re just a horrible one.

You had me at hello, but then you bought a packet of crisps in the pub and didn't open them out on the table. There's no way back from that.

Don’t be a scab, be a hero.

Rip those crisps open.
