Why are Walkers Cheese & Onion and Salt & Vinegar crisps in the wrong packets?

>> get one packet of Walker's "Sensations" Roasted Onion and balsamic vinegar flavour crisps, & forget all other crisp flavours, fools.
> Mmmm, Mr Pashmina is OTM

Made Of Money more like.

bloke here at work keeps borrowing crisps from my stash and insists on replacing them with kettle chips from M&S which are 4 times more expensive and 1/4 as good (too crunchy, like eating teeth).

can't find details. one place says 20% more than normal crisps but i think that's talking about the big bags. still, 20%! (i buy the marmite ones 6 at a time from safeways ~= 16p a packet)

(they also tend to be less vegetarian friendly than the non-posh crisps)

(which leads me to another criticism - tora bora tomkinson)

always.

Green is an oniony colour. Don't ask me to justify this.

Seabrooks pickled onion are scrumptious.
OtM

blue - salted
green - chicken
yellow - cheese & onion
purple - salt & vinegar
orange - BBQ

(I feel like Peter Kay shouting 'garlic??? bread????')

cheese = yellow
onion = white
chicken = ...flesh I guess. BUT who would eat chips from a flesh-coloured bag?? green looks nice, hence chicken = green. simple!

Fairly sure Taytos are also green for cheese and onion, but I don't know about the salt and vinegar.

Multipacks are not the way to go until someone invents a dispenser I can insert multipacks, biscuit packets, entire weekly shops etc into which will only give me one item a day and won't let me eat the whole lot within half an hour of buying them, murmuring "just one more... two left, can't leave two in the kitchen or people will know I bought a multipack and ate four... oh now there's only one left and it would be stupid to leave it lying around..."

YES YES YES!!!!!!

Also heavenly, cheese+onion crisps with cold beef and horseradish sandwich....

The standard flavours are good, esp: Salsa & Mosquito, but the seasonal limited editions are pretty meh.

Also search: Jonathan Crisp
: Poco Loco tortilla chips

Does anybody find multi-pack crisps are less 'flavoury' than single packs?

I've experienced this with all Walkers crisps especially Square.

I feel that quavers are a bit underappreiciated.

chilli and chocolate in weird but not terrible shocker. but then i like the thai chilli things so...

Would they be particularly terrible to people are used to the chilli/chocolate combination anyway?

The chocolate part is terrible. It tastes like chocolate that's gone through Seth Brundle's teleporter.

the builder's breakfast are... extraordinary but v.sickly after half a bag. buttery, eggy, bacony, tomatoey all in one bag, it's quite an achievement but I wouldn't want to eat another.

bhaji need to tone down the cheese&onion front note and up the actual onion bhaji aftertaste

squirrel are v.greasy and sage-y

chilli and chocolate are not unpleasant, a bit weird, cinnamon & potato wd get you laughed out the masterchef kitchen but... these were the only bag I finished... not very chocolatey it must be said

the builder's bum breakfast are a taste sensation. they taste perfectly of those fried eggs that are slightly burnt on the bottom. with a dash of tomato sauce.

not sure in what order i'd rate them all. will pick up the fishy ones tomorrow.

Haven't seen any of these yet :(

Walkers Max Cheeseburger flavour are actually nice. I don't know what I believe in anymore.

Still on these:

oh deary me no.

they got the national costume just right

In Britain the hated British have their own colonialist version of tayto which comes in a yellow bag. On the back it has pics of dead Irish heroes post execution. The slogan assures the British eater that the taytos were made with blight free potatoes. Irish mps have to eat a pack before they can take their seats at Westminster.

:O i did not know that about the blight.

In the 80s there was brief discussion of whether Adams could be allowed to speak on British tv if he ate a bag of yellow tayto for the duration.

Paisley was outraged by the amount of crumbs on the mic

Explain Tayto passport?

i'd imagine it's a holder for your passport? irish expats will invariably lust for taytos or lyons tea, it seems to be a big identifier for them.

Why not just keep your passport in an old crisp packet?

Barrys tea I thought? And obviously the pint of harp

barry's tea is for west brits. harp is more of an 'i'm lusting for the 80's' thing imo.

Why not just keep your passport in an old crisp packet?

what? that's clearly a stupid idea. jesus.

sniffer dogs would go crazy, for a start.

IRL lol at work = not good

thanks to ilx i enjoyed a packet of the above taste sensations with my lunch. delicious.

I was in Dublin airport a few months ago and saw Tayto chips for sale and had a literal lol as in "can they really be called that" and was tempted to try but between jetlag and drunk Glaswegians, still finishing their Irish weekend bender in the terminal with cider and Harp, pounding a bag of said chips and drooling over a girl in a Burger King crown reading a Lennon bio waiting for a flight to London, the temptation was easy to fight off. It sounds like I missed something great.

jeez, tbh i think you had enough going on

imo pounding the girl while drooling over the crisps would have been the way fwd, but cultural difference abound etc

to be fair, the Glaswegians offered to share

to share which? we need to be very clear on this.

chips and cider and beer; and haha they were the ones drooling over the London girl in the crown. She wanted nothing to do with them (different class etc.).

ok, so there were glaswegians drinking, pounding crisps and drooling at discerning girls wearing burger king crowns while reading lennon biographies.

sounds like quite a trip.

if only I'd scored the Tayto

they were probably pounding it in order to get it small enough to snort

It amuses me endlessly that Ireland and Northern Ireland both have their own Tayto made by different companies but with almost the same logo and both proudly proclaiming that they've been around since the 50s, and it's kind of hard to find out which came first.

(I preferred the Nornirsh Tayto to the ones from down south because the ones from down south tasted kind of dusty and weird, but then I realised afterwards that the packet had a tiny hole letting air in where it should've joined up at the corners, so that is probably why they tasted of crisps that had been left in the open air for a month. so they are probably delicious but could stand to take a look at their packaging assembly if you ask me. which you did not and nor did they)

bulmers to become magners here as well RIP another part of my chilhood ;_;

i have forwarded your concerns on to tayto ROI manufacturing, we await response.

Are you sure you didn't just eat some poor fellow's passport?

A surprising amount of crisp packets are mistakenly left unsealed. I blame an influx of foreign baggers.

romanian baggers on grafton st ruin my christmas shopping

Are you sure you didn't just eat some poor fellow's passport?

oh, well played.

EXPLAIN this image

btw looked for walkers max cheeseburger last night, no joy.

Saw some in the newsagent on Great Eastern Street earlier.

Only relevant if you're a twat in Shoreditch, I guess.

I'm a wanker in Waterloo.

Walkers Max Cheeseburger flavour are actually nice. I don't know what I believe in anymore.

finally tracked these down. kudos to walker's, i guess, for pretty accurately capturing the vile taste of a mcdonald's cheeseburger.

i burned my tongue on coffee this morning

and then i ate some salt and vinegar chips

is this what it feels like to die

I am such a hardman that no number of cuts and other abrasions on the inside of my mouth could stop me eating salt and vinegar crisps.

These C&O crisps i bought this morning say BEST EVER FLAVOUR on them

what a time to be alive.

Thought this would be about

Rowan Williams- Thai Sweet Chilli Sensations.

Complex and with clear Eastern influences, Rowan is the flagship flavour of the Sensations range. Yes it's the sort of crisp you could take to Cambridge high table but it's also a crisp with an air of dark, Dostoevskyian mystery too. pic.twitter.com/huUuAEHjQa
