The "Bag of Crisps" Measurement

In the same spirit that people describe the size of a country by how many times Wales would fit into it (why is it always Wales?), I have been trying out a new way unit of measurement for sodium levels - the "bag of crisps". The bag of crisps I am using is Walker's Ready Salted, which contains 0.5g of salt (per 34.5g bag), a nice round number.

So, here are a few "bag of crisps" measurements:

1 bag of crisps:
=1 bowl of Kelloggs Cornflakes

2 bags of crisps:
=1 slice of toast, buttered, with Marmite
=50g Edam

4 bags of crisps:
=1 small (200g) tin Heinz baked beans with sausages

8 bags of crisps:
=Half a medium-sized Dominos Pepperoni Passion
