Reply to: Crisp shortage - life or death

I don't know you'd get something that cheesy without cheese being involved.

Not cleaning under the rim?

Maybe like Vanilla its from Beavers botties?

no it seems its from enzyme activity so no beavers harmed!

[WTFH]

Anyone remember Hedgehog Crisps?

Ah yes, Hedgehog Flavour (supposed to have a flavour like hedgehog), not Hedgehog Flavoured (flavoured with actual hedgehogs)

They are very much in the pub snack category alongside pork scratching for health concerns though.

Ah, you might be right - so cheese flavoured might mean it was briefly brushed against a bit of cheese?

Or in the case of those snacks, all the fat was extracted from the cheese and injected into the snack, whilst the 'good' bit of the cheese went into a low fat pasta sauce

I thought that was ok? Doesn't 'Flavoured' mean that the ingredient actually exists in the food, whilst 'flavour' means it might taste like it's there, but it's all artificial?

Although, given the amount of fat in those snack things, after a couple of packets and an ambulance to ICU following a cardiac arrest, I don't think it will really matter

I try not to eat anything that's been forced by marketing laws to put the the word "flavoured" in its name.

Maybe they could try Torres Selecta truffle-flavoured crisps (only £5 a bag)

they are really tasty, but about £3 a bag to the rest of us. I guess he’s just quoting what he claims on expenses.

I remember those. They had a kind of texture that made me think ‘if cholesterol was a food, it would be like this’.

39% of your daily saturated fat in each pack

Maybe they could try Torres Selecta truffle-flavoured crisps (only £5 a bag), as favoured by Rishi Sunak no less.

Given how much of a pack of Walkers Crisps is fresh air, I wonder whether an oxygen cylinder plus mask might allow her to eat other foods instead.

The shortage was caused by " a recent IT upgrade" - come on, someone on here needs to own up to this.

Pepsico did this, and it's hit all of their other brands (including Quakers oats, which nobody cares about). I wonder if they got somebody "cheap" to do it...

Oh yeah nice shout, Canadian Ham are the best.

Fight me.

Not crisps, but I'm going to throw these into the ring...
