The worst crisp flavour was Highlanders' ill-advised Irn Bru flavour.

<wretches just thinking about it>

My son chucked his guts up after eating some of them.
I tried one(before he puked), they were indeed foul

Don't remember the IB ones pilch

Down With Walkers!

RRRRAAAAHHHHHH

they're shit crisps anyway

 

[KellyDJ]

Did anyone here used to put them in the oven, and then they'd shrink and people had them as Key rings

Yep we used to make them with Girl Guides and sell them at the church fair. I think I've still got a couple of them somewhere

Been bought out by Walkers, still get the same product only now with a Walkers logo. If you don't believe me look at a bag of Wotsits.

Green is for Dill Pickle.

I thought they only took Wotsits, not the whole company.

I don't think they have taken them over - they did want to though - I watched a programme last year on it all. Most of the crisps are still around including Ringos and Wheat Crunchies etc but nowhere sells them as Walkers has all the contracts - shame!

I voted green for Cheese and Onion. Anything else is a Corporate conspiracy to confuse us. Walkers being owned by Nixon-sponsoring Pepsi and all that.

The King of crisps appeared sometime in the early 80s - though defintely not by Golden Wonder in those days.

The recipe for Pickled Onion Monster Munch was changed round about 92/93 - they'd been my favourite up till then.

healthy cheesy puffs

You could be right.

Exactly what I said on another thread. S & V Golden Wonder are the best ever. Walkers just waltzed in from no where and took over. How, as the general public, did we let this travesty happen? My parents should have stood up for my Golden Wonder rights more - sod Greenham Common.

I also remember shrinking them in the oven... how fab was that. I also remember eating them and throwing the empty packet on my great nannys open fire and watching it shrink and disappear whilst my eyes stang like fuck.

Oh I wish I was 8 again

Didn't Golden Wonder recently decide to change from an animal based fat to a 100% veggie fat, too? I think this is reflected on their packets now (they never used to say veggie friendly on any of their crisps).

The confusion arises from the fact that Golden Wonder used to be the big player in the crisp market and used blue for Salt & Vinegar and green for Cheese & Onion.

Walkers have always been the other way round. Now they are the number 1 everyone thinks the colours have been changed around which they haven't.

I thought it was more down to common sense - neither cheeses nor onions are blue. It's not just GW, it's every other crisp maker that uses green for cheese an onion. That being said, I do quite like Walkers plucky defiance in continuing with their alternate colour schemes

 

[PacificOcean]

Pointless fact - Walkers are owned by Pepsico Inc and are part of the same group as KFC.

Salt and Vinegar Discos have to be crowned the King of salt&vinegar crisps, most packets are so strong they could be compared with the blood of the monsters from the Alien films. Tescos s&v's used to be pretty strong on the old tonguemeltometer too.

A good S+V crisp can be found in a packet of those ridged Kettle crisps.

Can you still get smokey bacon flavour crisps ?

 

[sprite]

Yeh walkers do smoky bacon - but they're really really strong..........I like the Squares salt n vinegar they're lovely!

You would had you tasted them!

 

[MarkMark]

cheese poof.

It doesn't matter which flavour is assigned to each flavour. Blue and green are just two types of electromagnetic radiation, differ only in slightly in their wavelength. They both travel at the speed of light, and this has no bearing upon the enjoyment of crisps. Unless, of course, you're very close to a black hole in which case you're fucked anyway
