My rant regarding crisps is Walkers multipacks

When you buy a single bag the crisps are reasonably strongly flavored

when you buy a multipack of the same flavour they taste p*ss weak and of nothing

If i buy multipack of a product I WANT IT TO BE THE SAME!!!!!

[i]Thai Lady Boy[/i]

there's only a relatively small number of people who have a basis for comparison with that flavour?

Ah just what's needed for a Friday a crisp rant.

My particular beef (not the flavour)is with Asda Hog Roast, to which sadly I am addicted but mad as hell that they contain generally 6, but no more than 12 crisp items per pack, which means, one pack is never enough, this in turn feeds my addiction.

Other favourite flavours from the past

Brannigans Beef & Mustrad

Tyrells Thai Sweet Chilli

and recent up and coming delight..

Tyrells *something and cranberry

*Can't remember exactly, only stumbled across them food shopping in Dobbies the Garden centre, no don't ask, there is no logic in a female lead crisp acquisition trip.

That is what it says on the packet.

The taste is best described as a fusion of king prawn, cheese and onion, cigar smoke and German school teacher.

All I want is a proper illiterate rant about the Post Office or Delivery Ninjas using laser weapons.
A Quality rant with no facts checked and no logic apllied.
Preferably with YouTube videos.

and What has this thread got to offer?

Bloody crisp flavours !

Bring back the good old days.

Dude, adjust your priorities,

Crisps are the third most important thing in life after riding, which goes...

Ride: Beer: Crisps: in that order.

The fact your local consistently fails to order your favourite flavour despite constant reminders is a major trauma in one's life, this thread could develop suggestions as to what to do with a local pub that signally fails to satisfy it's riding population in the crisp department despite frequent warnings.

I can only live in hope.

Just finished a pack of Worcester Sauce French Fries, and they were absolutely delightful.

Back on the Multipack thing - not only do the flavours seem much weaker but [b]why are the bags smaller as well[/b]????

it's just not right. If I want a bag of crisps I want a proper size, not a fun size.

Grrrr.........

Not really a rant, more a minor annoyance. Why do so many meaty crisp flavours repeat on you for the rest of the day?

Walkers Roast Chicken are the worst. If I wanted my mouth to taste like I'd had a garlic curry for the rest of the day I'd have gone out for a curry.

You have clearly never been assaulted by a Parcel Delivering Ninja with a laser death ray.

Or been forced by An Evil Megalomaniac Monopoly to pay an outrageous £0.60 to have letter delivered the next morning 300 miles away.

That makes some people crrrrrrrraaaaazy !
