    are they the ones with “man crisps” slapped all over the packet?

    if so, they disappoint

    Everything that’s not a McCoys. Gosh I miss crisps.

    Exactly right.

    I also find Walkers in general pretty shonky now; not enough crunch.

    The entire new range from Phileas Fogg; takes days to get the taste out of your mouth.

    I started finishing off half a packet of Hula Hoops that my messy teenage daughter had left in the kitchen, but after a couple I thought they seemed stale, not quite the proper crunch factor. A later discussion with said daughter confirmed they were like that when she opened them. I hope it’s just a bad batch rather than falling standards overall. Everything was better in the old days…

    Seabrooks Prawn cocktail- they used to be awesome and stronger than what they are now.

    Never eat crisps on a Sunday. If you look at the date stamp they’re always best before a Saturday.

    Google says McCoys are responsible for that “man crisps” malarkey.

    They disappoint.

    All crisps are horrible.

    But I particularly hate:
    Crinkle cut Walkers – Made out of compressed chip wrappers, bile and diesel.
    Anything artisan or hand cooked – like eating a shard of vomit flavoured glass.

    Wotsits, Monster Munch or any cheap maize/corn based snack for the win.

    back in the 70s, when Walkers were the underdog, fighting against the industrial might of Golden Wonder and Smiths, they were truly a crisp amongst crisps. These days they are almost entirely disappointing.
    Also disappointing are almost all crisps that claim to be spicy, with the possible exception of Nandos Hot Peri-Peri Crisps.

    Anyone old enough to remember Bones, Fangs and Claws?

    Maize snacks from the 70s – ace!

    Kettle Chips.
    You get about 6 bland tasting crisps (NOT chips) in every bag. Tesco’s own are 10 times better.

    McCoys are gash, for crinkle ridge cut crisps Mackies is where it’s at.

    headfirst – To test your theory, and address your concerns, I’ve just wolfed down a packet of cheese and onion hula hoops. I am happy to reassure you that they were very crunchy indeed. You must have just got a wrong-un

    I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed in a crisp. Along with Greggs pasties, they’re the one constant in my life.

    There are only degrees of love. Seabrook cheese and onion at the top. Roast chicken Walkers at the bottom

    Nothing artificial my arse, the bag looks dodgy for a start.

    AND THEY ARE NOT CHIPS, FFS.

    Is nothing sacred?

    Binners, you will shortly have mail fella.
    Have worked out which pile of rubble the laptop is under.

    Hula Hoops are a poor excuse for a crisp. As are anything ‘lightly salted’. I must admit that it’s hard to beat a packet of salt and vinegar Walkers.

    Wotsits, Monster Munch or any cheap maize/corn based snack are crap and should not be brought to any crisp based discussion

    FTFY

    Kettle chips and tortilla chips should also be added to that (above) class.
    Walkers seems to have lost their way of late (pityful cheddar and bacon of late), but for the most part are still my go to crisp (Smokey bacon… mmmmhh), if their no MacKies* or Burt crisp available.

    * had a very disappoint packet of cheddar flavour the other week, should have gone for the haggis one…

    You’re consuming them incorrectly.

    Tyrrells. They lack depth of crunch therefore aren’t really crisp enough to be called crisps. I suppose the company name should be a warning to anyone expecting authenticity.

    Walkers “new and improved” Distinctly Salt & Vinegar. The ruination of what was once the perfect packet of crisps.

    Do they taste better on a butty? The acid test of any crisp. And where the cheese and onion Seabrook confirms its supremacy

    Anyway…. bearnecessities – where were you last night? Eh? I’d been reliably informed you’d be at Bradford uni. I was devastated!

    Alas, work committments. 😥 I should have known the day wasn’t going to go well when I was held up by 6,000 chickens on M62.

    I’ll be going this afternoon to the “commoner” opening 😉

    You can still get them, I remember them blowing my face off in the pub when I was younger. The ham and pickle ones are nice too.
