Well if we're onto obscure crisp brands then I'll see all yours and raise you these... (and that particular flavour is wonderful)

I can't agree with any of you; the weakest of the originals is 'ready salted', a crisp flavour *that isn't a flavour*.

I remember tomato ketchup, I used to like those when they came out. But I don't remember the others.

It’s salt flavour. If it wasn’t a flavour it would just be unsalted potato

Appropriately enough, this post was liked by 'bland'y.

I’d say for sure that either Roast Chicken or smokey bacon is fourth. Beef in sixth. 

My all time favourite crisps have to be the ‘naked’ kettle crisps. Just plain potato flavour. No salt. Don’t see them at all now though  

I  was the kid that loved the old Smyths’ ‘salt & shake’. I’d just chuck that little blue pack of shite in the bin.

As a child Salt'n'Vinegar was the undisputed king of crisps.  But for most of my adult life Prawn Cocktail and Worcester Sauce flavours have been my main favourites, though Worcester Sauce are.....hard to source.

But in more recent years it's seemingly moved to Cheese and Onion. 

We are obviously talking about standard Walkers flavours here. Kiddies crisps like Snaps are the best full stop. 

Ready Salted are pointless and fully deserve a place in The Boring Thread.  They are the choice of crisp for when you are tired of life. 

 

Have you tried helicopter flavour crisps?

If you don’t like them try plane (plain)

Going back to the crisps debate, a pal of mine from the north mentioned Tudor Crisps. 

Googled them and found these - what exotic flavours for the 70s and 80s

Gammon flavour would go down well in these times

YouTube has shown it’s true colours with them several times by always putting profit in front of ethics.

True colours are beautiful, like a rainbow.

This is something I’ve thought about before, but because it’s quite boring I’ll put it here.

In day to day discourse, when someone’s described as having shown their “true colours”, it’s always a negative. You never hear someone say “Oh that bloke over the road, you know the miserable sod? Well I see he’s finally showing his true colours - he’s doing a fun run for charity.”

However then there’s that song which very much flies in the face of my theory.

I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing the phrase comes from the era of naval piracy, when privateer ships would approach potential victims under a 'false flag', and only at the last minute, run up their actual identification, 'showing their true colours'.

I can believe that, which if accurate would suggest it’s meaning is rooted as a negative. But Cyndi Lauper elected  to go against the grain and try and reinvent the meaning.
