Does a crisp packet increase satellite dish gain?
Don't you just know what it's like to have a load of old crisp packets lying around the house? I know I do, so I decided to make use of them the only way I know how: irresponsibly.
The goal of this experiment was to answer the question "Does a crisp packet increase satellite dish gain?". The tools I used were a computer fitted with a SkyStar 2 card, an 80cm satellite dish with a cheap Korean LN [...]

Cheat!
I compared the before & after images of your test results using a forensic analysis tool - and found them to be identical!
I also find that your whole experiment is fundamentally flawed, as
everyone
knows that ready-salted crisps don't come in a green packet - green is used for either cheese & onion or salt & vinegar depending on whether you're a Golden Wonder or a Walkers type person (people who buy the unbranded Romanian crisps from ASDA don't even get a mention.)
Bar-snack-packet colouration may also depend on how the crisp mafia gangs have carved up the national distribution of fried potato snacks and peanuts. I've always thought that Tony "Prawn c**ktail" Di Stefano was a really nice guy, personally.
And what about bread?!?
Tony "Mother's Pride" Romano has always taken care of his own. Tony "Toastie" Warburton on the other hand is a complete kfcuing sstoer. We don't want his rubbish northern bread down here. We have plenty of crappy mass-produced under-baked cack of our own, thank-you very much.

Let it be known that the two images were identical because the image on screen didn't change; I just took two print screens and cropped them identically.
Also let it be known that all flavours of ASDA-sold crisp come in the same green and white bag. While this may be a taboo subject (and the undisputed cause of the Gulf war) it guarantees equality between this brand's flavouring varieties. I for one will not bow to a world where a crisp packet is judged by its colour.

Well you should care!
How are people who can't read supposed to pick the right crisps?
Shame on ASDA!
I bet Walkers Smokey Bacon would give you an extra half-dB too.
