Twitter is great. Crisps, also great. Put the two together and it’s just heavenly.
Richard Osman is a bit of TV legend, as the creator and co-presenter of brilliant BBC game show Pointless, but he also has quite a large Twitter following and a penchant for tournaments.
Today he announced he is going to be doing a Crisps World Cup, and our very own Tayto are in the running alongside other noble crisps like Pom Bears and Pringles.
Cast your vote, for DEMOCRACY.
The World Cup Of Crisps is nearly here! The 48 teams have been drawn into 12 groups. Voting on groups 1-4 will begin at 10am! #wcocr2016

Someone didn’t know what a Tayto was. Disgraceful.
Can anyone offer Kellie a trip to Ireland to find out? https://t.co/G03QvJ5nfc

Mr Tayto, getting behind our country.
@Fergal_Kelly @shellycos I believe in Ireland! We just need to get the people voting! #VoteTayto https://t.co/fJx6dHeb2h

@richardosman Tayto cheese n onion has a limited availability, not everyone has the opportunity to taste the finest crisps in the world.
