1) «Some» is used in this context to indicate a desire for a specific amount of milk. It implies that the speaker wants a moderate amount of milk, but not an excessive amount.
2) «Much» is not appropriate in this context because it is used to describe uncountable nouns, such as «much water» or «much sugar.» Milk, however, is a countable noun, so «many» would be the appropriate word to use here.
3) «Many» is used to describe the quantity of a countable noun, such as «many packets of crisps.» It implies that the speaker wants a specific number of packets, rather than a vague or unspecified amount.
Overall, the use of «some» and «many» in this conversation indicates a desire for a specific, but not excessive, amount of milk and crisps. The use of «any» implies that the speaker expects the other person to have crisps available, and is not making a specific request for a certain type or brand.
