This is a question I don't understand the attraction

Smaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

Noticing most people think the title of this QOTW is "list all the things that annoy me", rather than what's been asked
however I will answer this as close to the brief as I can.

Now, I hate, no..loathe something that everyone else seems to love. I've been branded a freak and an outcast for this loathing, and nobody seems to share my distaste of this gruesome foodstuff.

My loathing?

crisps

Fucking hell where do I start?

1) The smell.

I'm sorry but they smell...awful. Rotten. Biblically rank..
Not just the cheap ones full of MSG and chemicals, but the "posh" ones too. The really do honk. People seem to be able to scoff them down and have a polite conversation whilst reeking of pickled onion and spare rib. They make your clothes and breath smell terrible. Am I really the only person not to be able to stand the odour of them? And Natchos with dip? Fuck right off, especially now they infest cinemas nationwide. I won't have them in my car.

2) The sound

I can't stand the crunching and smacking sound people make while eating them. I'm sorry but it's really annoying. Million times worse than popcorn.

3) The habits

Eating the dregs of the bag by tipping the bag into their mouths...ripping it fully open to make a makeshift plate..giving the empty packet to the dog to lick clean...

EWW EWW EWW!!!

4) Marketing

"British sea salt and organic malt vinegar, slowly oven roasted..." FUCK OFF! Salt and Vinegar!!

Sorry guys, I know crisps are a staple foodstuff to most people, but they do indeed leave me cold.

*awaits inevitable backlash*

Well...
I can see your point, but it does sound like if you feel this way about crisps, you may just be too sensitive a soul for this world.

You've got to tip the bag up to get your money's worth
as most of what's in there is air. It's not overpackaging, like you get with many other foodstuffs- it's selling you a packet that's half empty.

I
fucking love crisps. In fact, it's either going to be crisps or beer that will be the death of me. I'm addicted to both.

Especially beef Hula-hoops. Bastards.

In fact, if it wasn't for beef hula-hoops, skips, spirals and Walker's Worcester sauce flavour, I could happilly give crisps up tomorrow.

...and Discos. Pringles. To a lesser extent monster munch.

Oh, I forgot the fanny smelling nic-naks.

...but seriously, if it wasn't for those ones, I could give them all up.

...and wotsits.

beef hula hoops are horribly addictive.

Funny Enough
I agree, I dont see the attraction of crisps, salty, greasy no thanks.

Someone else!
We should hang out, and talk about how much we hate crisps. Things like Quavers and Wotsits physically make me feel sick. I can't think of anything more loathsome than crips.

You're clearly wrong on the main point, but...
...I'll give you "British Sea Salt"

cos, y'know, salt changes at the 12 mile limit.
