This video has been around for a while, but I hadn’t seen it until a crappier version popped up on 
The seagull, nicknamed Sam, has now become so popular that locals have started paying for his crisps. Shop assistant Sriaram Nagarajan said: “Everyone is amazed by the seagull. For some reason he only takes that one particular kind of crisps.”
“For some reason”? Uh, how about because the cheesy ones taste the best?
The best part of the video — aside from the sexy jazz music during Sam’s stealing — is the intrepid reporter who confronts the criminal mastermind. I have a lot of friends who went to school for journalism, and I don’t think any of them got taught the finer points of interviewing birds.

My journalism education resulted with me receiving many birds.
Stocking Doritos would qualify that establishment as a Health Food store in Scotland.
“For some reason he only takes that one particular kind of crisps”
Perhaps because they are the ones on the bottom shelf closest to the door.
Cool Ranch are better. This water-pigeon is settling for inferior chips.
I remember reading about a bear in Yosemite a while back who would steal beer from campers, but he would never steal busch beer. If a cooler had multiple type of beer in it he would maul every can except the busch beer. I couldn’t find the article when I quickly web searched it but it was in Newsweek about a decade ago.
“crisps.”
Be gayer.
When a seagull steals chips it’s cute, when a rat does it they want to kill it. Fucking double standards.
That’s Winona Ryder’s bird. True story.
Polly want high cholesterol.
He didn’t really steal the chips. They put them on his bill.
When a seagull steals, it’s cute. When a crow steals, it’s called looting.
It’s actually the notorious magpie, Mickey the Beak, disguised as a gull.
No Way! Aberdeen Rules!
@Chino I really have to compliment you on the slow build, from unfunny/lame to funny/clever.
I really have to compliment you on the backhanded compliment!
This bird also became addicted to playing World of Warcraft after the Doritos took control of his mind.

Seriously. Not exactly rocket science.
