Their controversial new flavours.

Good or bad?

I got 12 bags the other day for £1. I give you my expert potato snack opinion.



  • Crispy duck & Hoisin
Deep rich flavour, with nice fruity undertones. Reminds me of worcester sauce. Tastes nob all like duck and hoisin though.


  • Chilli and Chocolate
Didn't even bother to eat these, gave them to the dog. He didn't eat them either. Appalling idea.


  • Fish & chips
Liked the idea, but in practice tastes like drinking the contents of a chip pan that has been left out in the rain.


  • Onion Bhaji
I'll level with you, I was drunk when I ate these, I seem to remember thinking they were fairly ace. But then I also thought it would be a good idea to make bread at 1:30am.


  • Builder's breakfast
Quality stuff. Bacon, eggs, buttered toast and ketchup. You can taste each component and it works. Would have won if they had brown instead of red.


  • Cajun Squirrel
The winner. Basically just Cajun chicken. Which is always a good thing. These crisps are just how I like my women. Spicy, crunchy and with flecks of weird stuff all over them.
 
tried chilli & choc......... awfull, ive g=had choc withchilli in that was nice but the crisps were dire.

currently eating walkers salt and vinegar french fries.....flavourlicioustastic
 

Had some of the squirrel ones the other day in the pub, were alright, dont really fancy any of the others, so yeah Squirrel flavour wins(y)
 
Tried Builders Breakfast and Fish and Chips and both tasted bloody awful. For crisp purists, i recommend sticking to the original flavours.
 

This is completely random, but in my old job I advised a company that makes the chemical flavourings that go into these types of crisps. I think they make the flavourings for Walkers, though I'm not sure. Maybe some other crisp company.

Anyway, I had always assumed that someone at the crisp company wakes up in the morning and thinks "You know what I'd love? Crisps that taste like strawberries and chicken tikka masala, mixed together". And so they ask the chemical company to make such a flavouring, and they sell the crisps.

Weirdly, it turns out that it works the other way around. The mad scientists at the chemical company come up with a new flavouring first, and then sell it to the crisp company. i.e. the crisp company takes what is available, not what they specifically want.

The rest of you probably think that this is dead obvious, but I always found that funny.
 
In that case whichever idiot thought that Chocolate and Chilli flavour crisps would be a good idea should be force fed strawberry and curry for the next month.

I tried the Onion Bhaji flavour while sober earlier. They are a decent crisp. A solid 7/10. One of these flavours will actually be made permanent, amazingly.

Bitza Pizza were quality but always gave me bad, bad wind. Hedgehog was good but just beef obv.

A pub near me does Cheese and Ham toastie crisps, which - while being a quality beer snack - also result in an immense build up of gut gas.
 
Like you i bought the 12 bags to taste each of them. Thats what i did with most of them "taste" the rest went in the bin. Except for the Onion Bhaji ones (y)
The worst of them being the Crispy duck & Hoisin
