Chibbles - know what they are?
Well they're the soft, polystyrene\foam type things used when packing breakable things in cardboard boxes. Don't know why they're called chibbles, because they look like exactly like wotsits. And smell like them.

I'll tell you whats more, they also fucking taste like Wotsits! Gods honest truth, and are probably as nutritious. With less calories!

I only tried a couple though, so don't blame me if you eat a boxful and die a painful, fat death.

They are Wotsits, that's why.
The polystyrene ones aren't, but the less-white ones are made from corn starch. It's not food grade, so I wouldn't advise eating too many of them, but it's essentially exactly the same stuff.

I did this too
The taste was fine, but I belatedly realised the things are probably treated with fire retardant and/or fungicides (rat poison too, for all I know). So I would suggest eating them in moderation...

At least if it does kill you,

I've also eaten these...
I used to do it to freak out work experience kids at the music shop by reaching into boxes and eating a handful while I had a cuppasoup and sorted a delivery. The looks on their little faces were priceless... although I got the more hardcore ones to eat them too!

My south african friend
Bought some round in a box saying they were traditional south African snacks. As he had already brought us the likes of jerky and something that I am still unsure exactly what it was, these were eaten without question.

Not too bad.
