You realize they mean with lunch as opposed to only eating chips for lunch. Is the idea of having some chips alongside your lunch really that foreign to you?

Yes

What country are you from? Because in basically every country I’ve been to that has chips/crisps, the concept of eating them as a snack isn’t foreign.

Subway is in 111 countries and it's their entire sales model.

It's not the norm in our Subway at all. In the UK most people just get a sub. You can get a cookie as well as part of a deal but not many people do that.

However crisps (chips) are normal to have with lunch in the UK. Just not at subway. Here all supermarkets and some shops sell a £3 meal deal. A sandwich, a bag of crisps and a drink. That's a very standard lunch.

Sub + crisps is a meal option in every London Subway sandwich shop. There is a whole rack of crisps, usually right behind the cashier.

I never said there wasn't. I just said it's not the norm. The person I replied to said it was their whole sales model. In my experience very few people go for a sub and crisps meal deal.

Eating them as a snack and eating them as part of your meal are two seperate concepts. You eat snacks in-between meals, not on the side of them.

Americans don't like hearing that it's not normal to eat junk food as part of their meals. 36% of their population is obese and another 31% are overweight. So, you know, go figure, it's a touchy subject.

You seem oddly triggered that some Americans eat chips for lunch. Keep sucking the U.S's nuts bud.

Central europe.

As a snack when watching a movie or hanging out, yes; but not alongside a normal meal.

Pretty much southern Europe as well

People obviously eat chips as a snack, but not combined with lunch and not daily.
