The other articles are [[French fries]] and [[Chips]]; that being how the cookie crumbled, shouldn't this one therefore be [[Crisps]] rather than [[Crisp]] (which brings to mind the adjective for me, rather than the edible)? [[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 02:27, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

:'Crisp' was how your red link read, and I remember thinking singular was right, having forgotten that the others were plural; I think WP has that singular-only rule, to avoid uncertainty, but perhaps we don't. Anyway they should certainly all be one or the other, yes. I think the others should be moved, actually: there's a good reason for the WP rule, even if it's no more than that people not having to wonder which to use.
