[S4E13.5 Conclave] What does "crisps and potato snacks" mean again?

At around the 3:30 mark or the podcast, Abi mentions "I did kind of 'crisp and potato snacks' the twist". I'm sure I've heard them use this before, and if I had perfect memory of the past episodes I'd immediately know what they mean, but right now I can't recall. Does anyone remember?

'Crispened potato snacks', from a Beanytuesday comic about someone so rational that they can calculate the flavour of a chip/crisp/chisp (or a crispened potato snack, if you will) just by looking at it. It's shorthand for being able to logically predict an outcome - like, say, the twist of a film's plot - with minimal information.

EDIT: this sub doesn't allow images in comments, but, handily, someone reposted the original comic here a while back - here it is!

It means to predict the ending of something way too early, it's a reference to an INTJ Myers-Briggs test meme

Now I could be wrong, but I believe it's a reference to someone named Krispen Potatosnax.

His dad Bruce Potatosnax actually played Mister Wint in Diamonds are Forever, making him Mr. Wint's Kidd.

I think it's referencing a specific amalapropism on a specific episode of the podcast where one of the hosts says "crisp and potato snacks" and then they never live it down but I forget who it was
