    I’m not sure whether the readership for this article is primarily British (“crisps”) because it’s about the UK, or primarily North American (“chips”) because of what I perceive as the general population demographics of Lemmy, so I compromised. 🤷

      lol I’m just joking that teens in high school would probably trade weed for things rather than snacks. I’m not proud of it, but I got paid in weed junior year of high school for customizing MySpace accounts, which is why I laughed at “snacks” because if they are later age high school students they probably aren’t trading in sour cream and onion.

        I admit, my information on what teens use for barter is even more out-of-date than yours (by about a decade, based on when MySpace was popular).

          Haha all good, I wasn’t criticizing, snacks just made me laugh. Teens have probably been bartering weed and alcohol in high school since the 70s.
