To complain to Walkers Crisps

I bought a six pack of Pickled Onion Monster Munch - my pregnancy craving.
Imagine my horror when I pulled out a pack, opened it, ate a crisp to discover they WERE NOT PICKLED ONION. It was Roast beef (yuck)!!! Checked the other packets - they were ALL roast beef .
Check the pack they came in - yep should be six pickled onion flavour, so I hadn't bought the wrong ones by mistake.
I'm going to write them a very stern email to tell them how utterly traumatised I was by not having any pickled onion monster munch.
Going to take them back to Asda (where I bought them from).

Do you think they'll send me some freebies

I thought they'd stoppped making Roast Beef Monster Munch.
So they still make them?
I used to love them, although I do agree that Pickled Onion ones are better.
I love Walkers Pickled Onion crisps too. In fact they were one of the reasons I am now trying to lose another 2 stone

Well I've been to Asda, took my roast beef crisps back and they refunded my money. Picked up another pack, check through the outer packaging and they were roast beef too! Next one was pickled onion. Took both to Customer Service Counter and the lady there opened both packs, and yep one was filled with roast beef flavour and the other was pickled onion, so I took it away with me.
I shall be writing them a stern letter. Asda will also be getting in touch!

I craved pickled onions etc when I was pregnant,never thought of eating them,I was eating pickled beetroot by the jar full!

Take them back to Asda, then write to Walkers too I say. How dare they fob you off with roast beef?

I think they will asume that pregnancy has changed the way some flavours are preceived.

It happens, really!
