Genie Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Do walkers still do the barbecue flavour in the black bags? I haven’t seen them for years. They absolutely stunk, but were nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whose snacks are those crisps? What flavour is that taste? Why the 65th crisp is clearly, obviously, 61 steps less appealing than prawn cocktail, it’s @chrisp65, a kind of psychedelic dub sort of taste, with hints of Welsh sea air and old electronics. Rare, but appreciated by the Potatoscenti. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted March 17, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) The fourth flavour of crisps used to be cheese snaps. My life has changed for the worse since these have been discontinued, One can only eat so many spicy tomato Edited March 17, 2021 by Follyfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted March 17, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 17, 2021 Smokey bacon. (I initially mistyped that as smokey baboon. Now I want to see somebody make smokey baboon crisps). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they’re your favourite or not, I think most would agree that ready salted, salt & vinegar and cheese & onion are the main trio. They’d score the highest on family fortunes. What’s in fourth spot? Which one is D'Artagnan? I’m going with prawn cocktail. Its an interesting question therefore at odds with this thread I agree with prawn cocktail. Its the new Dogtanian. Years ago I would have said Smokey Bacon, but the smoked porcines have been usurped by the tangy aquatic crustaceans. Roast chicken make up the 'big 6' IMO. My favourites below, although rarely seen nowadays. Also a fan of the Worcestershire sauce ones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still sell them. Walkers do them now. Think they sell them at Morrisons. Defo at Sainsburys (or my local ones, at least) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 In Canada, they have a flavour of crisps called 'all dressed', which per Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lay's), 'combines the potato chip flavors of barbecue, sour cream and onion, ketchup, and salt and vinegar.' I couldn't really taste anything, they're just kind of tangy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 In a world of crisps, we’ve just eaten a huge bag of M&S salty popcorn. Best Before 28.01.2021 9/10 would bang again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's too many splinters flavours - your actual beef, then beef and onion, barbeque beef, steak..etc. A powerful group of flavours, in crisp circles, but they can never get their s**t together and vote on one simple flavour to lead them. They're the Labour party of potato snacks. Would this make prawn cocktail the Tories then? Sound horrific, leave a nasty taste in your mouth, no one really knows why they are popular as no one openly admits to buying them (except a few loons), yet somehow they they still get bought. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's important to pair your crisps with your food - so Monday and also Tuesday I had Tuna mayo and cucumber sandwiches for dinner - fish sandwich goes with fish crisps (you can't get gravy crisps, before anyone starts). If I have a cheese and onion or cheese and tomato sandwich, I'll go with either salt & Vinegar, or Cheese and Onion. Egg mayo sandwich goes with S&V. Ready salted is universal. The others need to be strictly paired with the food. Any sort of wanton pairing of inappropriate crisps with food needs to be punishable by Law as a food crime. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Driving on the motorway behind a Hyundai earlier and noticed for the first time it was called a Hyundai Tucson. I always assumed it was Tuscan. 17 years i've thought that, since it was released in 2004. Tucson makes sense now as its bigger brother is the Santa Fe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I always thought that Henry hoovers were just gimmicky....i mean, with that stupid smirky face on it, how could it ever compete with a dyson ? Well, i was wrong. The missus brought her Henry over and it almost sucked up my carpet from its grippers. She also has a pink Hetty hoover and although its as good as it's red brother, it does look a bit ghey. I have now launched my pathetic cordless dyson on to the local tip and and am happy to say Henry is now my hoover of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they’re not as fashionable as Dyson, G-Tech or Shark, but can any of those three do this? The only downside is they’re awkward to manoeuvre, but then so would I be in Henry’s position. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
