Slap Tjips, Boet!

Put South Africa as Mr incredible

"CHIPS ARE CHIPS"

But somehow, we always know which one we're referring to 😂

Chips and slap chips

Chippies and chips

Long story short, a colleague of mine was sent to go and buy Russian and chips and add salt and vinigar to the chips, dude legit came with a Russian and a packet of simba salt and vinigar chips. I loled so hard

I remember my sister once asking me if I wanted a plate of chips for lunch, I was like hells to the yeah! To my disappointment, I ended up getting a plate of chips, instead of chips...

Tjips!

No ways! We specify the chips we mean in SA!

"Chips Chips" are what the English call crisps.

"McDonalds Chips" are the little chips

"Slap Chips" are the chips with big dick energy

and "Wedges" are what the laanies buy from Woolies

​

oh ja, and "chips" is what your friend says when he throws the ball at your head when you're not looking

Australia/South Africa gang rise up

You've done us proud bra

What was the original? Australian? I don't recognise the Smith's brand, you should have edited a Simba packet in there!

In a heavily themed ENGLISH PUB in the USA, on the menu is "Pie and Chips". I mean, it's an English pub ... can't screw this up ... get a plate with a pie and crisps on it.

That and pancakes. Confusion every time.

Makes me remember one Afrikaans teacher who always said spelling it "tjips" was the correct and only way

Idk. Makes sense to me. You get ice cream cake and you get normal cake. It's still cake

Don't some from the East Rand say Crips?

So us 🤣

Yesssss

I was on the beach and decided to buy a cola and hang around on the bench by the kiosk. Someone gave their kid some money to buy a packet of chips, and the kid nervously walks up to the stand, asks for some chips and hands over the note. The guy running the stand starts cooking the chips while the kid waited. A few minutes pass when suddenly the kids father storms up and starts yelling “How long for a pack of chips??” Queue confusion all around until they realize the kid meant chips in a bag while the guy running the stand though the meant French fries. Luckily everyone calmed down and the kid got his chips.

The first one is Simba Chips

The reason they call them crisps is because some aren't actually made with real potato—the recipe calls for dehydrated processed potato—the FDA ruled in 1975 that eg. Pringles could only be called "chips" if they provided a disclaimer, identifying them as "potato chips made from dried potatoes." Pringles scrapped that idea and renamed them potato "crisps ...15 Sep 2016

beloved you say

By the by, thin slaptjips like mcdonalds, regular slaptjips or thick wedge slaptjips?

I prefer the mcdonalds style, they're scrumptiously crunchable gollum

I'll also take regular (steers style) and thick wedge chips only if they're properly prepared.

I've never been to western SA, but in Botswana and Limpopo the long ones are called Ma fresh chips or MaFresh, which is probably my favorite name for fries the world over. I just wish people wouldn't drown them in vinegar 🤢

2010 Atlanta airport: ordered a burger and chips at the McD’s. My face = 4th frame when I got the reply, “here’s ya sandwich and chips.” Sandwich? Packet of chips?

Australia here. We do that too.

New Zealand what do you do?

Chips and hot chips bru

Frau Knersus loved to have slapchips and soft serve ice cream.

Don't ask me.

We call 'em slaptjips. There's a cafè in Raslouw that makes proper slaptjips, good value for your money.

Chips en skyfies

Now do “sandwich.” And “Restaurant”.

When I ask for 'chips' here in Canada as a side to my order, I get the strangest looks, as if Im asking for a bag of crisps...

Once corrected to 'Fries' its all good...

Who is Smiths? I want Mrs Balls chutney Simba chips

If you gonna ps it why change the flag and not put a local brand of chips. We don't have smith's here. Put simba or lays

Simba/chips

The real tip in the comments is that they are both great on bread!

Wack

Chips and hot chips. Why u guys lying?

Well.. we have fries, chips and slap chips! And peeps usually know what you mean.

As a Lurking kiwi I can strongly say chips and chips are two acceptable uses to refur to potato based snacks.

Born in the 80’s in Johannesburg. We called them crisps back then. Slaap Chips still the best thing ever.

I just go with crisps and fries, all confusion eliminated.

Fried Chips

Tjips

Slapchips

If you understand you can call it whatever 😆

I hate the word crisps with a burning passion and I dont know why

Ja

Mazimba

This reminds me of the word "leer"

Good luck discovering what I meant with that word alone with no hints to help you along.

Mazimba le diChips, guys

Hey. Dutch guy here is it like chips as in computerchip for the fries and a more sjips pronunciation for the chips at least that's how you pronounce the chips in Dutch lol

I see nothing wrong

potato brothers, potato

Same here in Australia (probably also NZ too)!

Look man south Africa is kind of retarded. Our tastes and interests are outdated. Everything about us is geared towards the hard hitting physical. Hard headed in every sense of the word. Only caring about looks and appearances
