So just what are Crisp Packet Triangles?

Well, it's funny you should ask me that, Simon. But before I begin, I'd like to address your question in individual points. If you are an American, you should be informed that crisps are the real name for what you wrongly call potato chips or similar. Crisps are the right name. Potato chips is the wrong name. Now you understand.

The term "Crisp Packet Triangles", in the context of this fabulous and absolutely wonderful shrine, refers to something triangular (in the style of Pythagoras) which has been shaped out of some form of flat paper-like thing, such as, for example, a crisp packet, or a bus ticket, or a chocolate bar wrapper (in fact we're even compiling a list of what you can make crisp packet triangles out of (including crisp packets)).

The triangular shapes are constructed using origami, which is not illegal in most countries. For those in the dark, we provide you with enlightening full instructions on how to make the triangles and even what to do with them afterwards. However, in those immortal words, and as Heironymous Bosch once said to Alfred Hitchcock's sister... "this site is under construction, baby."
