I always find this strange when I just put them in the bin.

they cost next to nothing to give away so it's an easy good will gesture. Try asking for them to be taken out of the bag or feed them to birds instead of the bin

Why not just tell them that you don't require free prawn crackers.

It's nothing about them being on the bill or not. Just say that you do not require them.
You think it's better for you to waste their food that they've given you for free rather than save them money? I think they'd be happier saving the money than giving you free food which you are going to chuck in the bin without touching. |

Do birds eat these? I would not want to put them out for the birds and some rat comes and eat them and neighbours are like saying I am attracting rats by doing these things.

This thread is insane for two reasons.
One, because as has already been pointed out, the simple fix is to simply decline them when ordering. Two, because Prawn Crackers are amazing. I actually pay for a bag even though I know I'll get another free, I love them! |

If there was a homeless shelter or something I would be happy to pass them on but it would have to be like once a month due to fuel costs. |

If you honestly believe that if you decline the prawn crackers then the staff will spit in your food or give you smaller portions then you maybe need to find a new takeaway. Honestly...I despair |

It's clearly a windup. Or at least I hope it is.
Prawn crackers contain 17% prawn. I found this out when becomnig a vegetarian. I am yet to find any that are just flavouring |

Mmmm prawn crackers.... love them! You can tell a good chinese from the quality of their prawn crackers - the thicker they are the better the chinese
are they really bad for you? I'd imagine so!

*MESSAGE TO EVERY CHINESE TAKEAWAY IN THE UK*
Do NOT give paulsmithfan any prawn crackers whatsoever!!! They don't like them and you are causing them a terrible amount of stress over the matter! Many Thanks |

They also masturbate into it if you're rude to the waiters in the restaurant. |

They are only fried for a few seconds, so don't have long enough to soak up much oil.
That's what I tell myself anyway. ![]() Ooo i like your thinking! I shall adopt this train of thought when i have finished my massive meal and still munching them (addict!)

Yes, never send any food back as the whole team of chefs take turns defecating on it.

![]() I can be totally full from the actual meal but I always have room to finish of the Prawn crackers! Might as well as they will just be soggy by the next day.
