Walkers Crisp's RANT

[RogerS]

Studders me old mate it is quite obvious that Crunchies are a hole heap better then Mars Bars.

Now I am going to have a few bags of Walkers Salt and Vineger with my cocoa before I go to bed :roll:

Cheers

Mike

Cocoa is SO last year !

 

[RogerS]

Blister, it was reported that top paid directors etc. had a 49% pay rise last year, so they will be getting another rise next year on that price increase no doubt.
......

Coc k, dw. Don't believe everything that you read in the tabloid press.

 

[woodpig]

Sorry, you are all wrong... Seabrooks crisps are the way forward.

Si.

Hhm, Canadian Ham flavour. But where can you buy them?! :lol:

I cannot stand the flavoured ones and I don't like salt too.

So just plain unadulterated ones with the salt in little packets that I can chuck away for me!

Anyway all this junk food is bad for you so don't eat it - an apple or a raw carrot are much better.

Rod :wink: :wink:

apple or a raw carrot are much better.

Especially when sliced thin & deep fried, along with beetroot & parsnip hmmmmmmmmmm

ALDI for me and has been for as long as I can remember, they also sell chilli type tortilla's, now they are lovely with a spicey salsa dip and a few cans.

I bought some of them from Tesco's last week. I couldn't tell the difference from regular smoky bacon flavour?

Anyone tried those baked potato flavoured crisps yet? The taste is strange - almost like baked potato and butter but with an odd after taste.

Maybe would should be buying English stuff to get us out of the recession rather than German?

That's not always easy to do, and may backfire. Although Walkers crisps are still made in Leicester, the brand is owned by US multinational Pepsico, who apparently changed the company structure and accounting in 1999 so that the profits are made in Switzerland, minimising the tax paid in the UK.

Si.

Always bought them whenever possible - as they are locally made. Drove past a billboard showing the new flavours - Desi Curry! Given Swimbo saw it - you know what the mission is this week? :roll:

Walkers crisps are fried in sunflower oil, the potatoes are all A graded and the flavouring is the best on the market..... fact. Better than some Kraut spud fried in diesel.

Can I just vote for Seabrook's at this juncture...

They're not even expensive like "posh crisps" e.g. Kettle (which are posh, overpriced and not actually very nice IMHO)

Oh - and be careful of the Seabrook's Hot 'n'Spicy range. They are genuinely pretty damn hot!

Seabrooks for me but I prefer the salted - got a cupboard full of em.

 

[gregmcateer]

Have to say, I'm with Mister Blister on the Aldi stuff - bloody good value.

- And then someone one will be saying 'I only drink Tetleys as it's the best BRITISH tea available'....

Take a gander at the packet - owned by the Indian Biz Mogul, TATA (Maker of very good Indian cars and not so reliable 'British' ones, too)

Greg (Blimey, I think I suddenly climbed out of my box for a minute, there - best get back in)

Just gives the producing nation more of the final value. Although probably still doesn't filter down to the pickers\graders\etc.

 

[woodpig]

At least Walkers are made here with English Potatoes.

So are Seabrooks - driven past the factory more times than I care to remember.

 

[RogerS]

Tyrrells but then I'm also very partial to Smith's Crisps with the little salt packet.

Tayto cheese and onion. The world's best.
