Reply to: Poncy named crisp flavours

[Jog On]

The Kettle range of crisps do some wierd flavours 'Cheese & Cranberry', 'Mango & Chilli', but to be honest all Kettle crips taste cr*p to me mainly taste of fat with a tiny bit of flavour they give me a head ache.

Incedently anyone notice that Space Raders have had a 50% price increase in the last month or so, used to be 10p now 15p with no increase in weight, a mistake IMO not worth buying anymore.

This is what I'm talking about.

Do you want good ol' salt and vineger or 'cracked sea salt and ooedjiboarded vineger of the pharoes' at an extra quid for salt and bloody vinegar?



FFS!

Parsnip crisps are the best ever. Poncey, maybe, but bloomy lovely.

The marketing makes me laugh. Now cheese and onion are called cream cheese and chive or something like that.

Where's the Chocolate crisps?

Fish 'n' Chips flavour? <--- an obvious omission

Tikka Massala flavour crisps.

Dolly Mixture crisps.

Liquorice flavour crisps.



There's no point having poncey flavours when they haven't even done any decent ones.

And all Walkers crisps taste of rancid doughnut fat and I hate them.

Absolutely! Bollocks to fancy crisps, say I - normal crisps are the only crisps that count

And Salt and Lineker

[NickFitz]

Walkers ready salted, cheese and onion and salt and vinegar are the only ones worth bothering about.

I like normal crisps, not these fancy newbie types that have come out in recent years like kettle chips, crinkle chips, thick cut and so on.

Go on, tell us then

That reminds me of the game where you describe some circumstances and then others try to guess how it came about. Here's the albatross one.

"A man sees a cafe advertising albatross sandwiches. He goes in and buys one, takes one bite and then rushes out and hurls himself under a bus."

What led him to do that?

I know that one. I won't give the game away...

[VectraMan]

Walkers cheese and onion are the best, though they are in the wrong colour packets.

[Sysman]

Yep, I remember those. My father tried some and said they didn't taste anything like hedgehog

Is it just me or does anyone else get a bit irked by some of the names of crisp flavours coming out these days?

I don't mind the ones that have exotic flavours but some of the poncy names for things like salt and pepper, cheese and onion I think are going a bit too far?

Is this worth a post on a forum or do I need a life?

Anyone remember 'hedgehog' flavour from the mid-eighties? Or is that too poncy?

You mean "Organic Wild English Hedgehog with Crushed Tyre Rubber and West Cornish Tarmac"?
