Very salty crisp recommendation?

158 replies

I’m dying for some very salty crisps and all the crisps seem to be flavourless new and improved lately. Can anyone recommend some good salty ones, preferably salt and vinegar?

Ones I’ve tried that are no good anymore: Pringles (these used to burn my tongue with salt and are now bland??), Kettle Chips, Walkers, Chipsticks

Thanks Smile

Update: we have visited a 9th co-op and they don’t have any either!

Seabrooks ready salted are pretty salty.

Just as easy (and practically no cost) to add salt and shake the packet up vigorously though.

Visited my local co op today (these crisps were pretty much all I fancied at 12 weeks pregnant and in the throes of sickness!) and they were out of stock there too. 9 co ops is crazy though!

I got tyrells version instead (currently on sale at asda) and they're not a bad substitute although nowhere near as salty!

Interested in this thread?

I was the crazy lady who asked the teenager behind the til why there were no coop salt and vinegar crisps any time I went in. He said there is a supply chain issue 😵 I feel like I'm searching out something on the black market! Might try the Lidl ones.

Co op sea salt and Chardonnay vinegar crisps. The best there is!
These. I had a packet earlier and they were so vinegary they made me cough!
MyMabel · 17/09/2021 16:36

Do they still do the crisps where you get a sachet of salt in it and you put it in and give it a shake? They were extra salty goodness.

bearlyactive · 17/09/2021 16:37

Whoops, sounds like I'm a bit late! That'll teach me to RTFT. My local Co-Op was running pretty low on them actually

Greentomatoes21 · 17/09/2021 16:38

@bearlyactive I am so jealous! I'd love a packet right now 😭😭😭

MumofDoctor · 17/09/2021 16:41

Can’t beat co-op salt andy vinegar, but plain Popchips are also very salty and delicious.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 17/09/2021 16:42

Seabrooks are pretty damn salty...

BertieBotts · 17/09/2021 16:58

Go to a newsagent or corner shop and get those big bags of "snacks" which are no brand you've ever heard of, they ought to do the trick.

@vampirethriller

Piper's crisps are all brilliant actually.
They are - yes. My favourite is the Thyme & Rosemary. But all are pretty awesome. I love the way they deliver to your door. But I see the Sea Salt tubs are not available. Maybe everyone’s getting them now, so none for me.

Actually, cancel that. Pipers crisps are rubbish. Do not buy. Really really not nice. Yuk. Repeat. Do not buy.

You won’t like them.

Yes salt n shake! They definitely still sell them at tesco, probably other supermarkets too
Greentomatoes21 · 18/09/2021 07:45

If none notices the coop ones back on sale, please let us know! (Especially if in Northern Ireland!!)

icelollycraving · 18/09/2021 11:45

Guess what I got today 😍

Very salty crisp recommendation?
TeamNegan · 18/09/2021 17:33

Salt and vinegar squares! Flipping addictive though!

Ratonastick · 18/09/2021 18:32

This thread prompted me to drop into the Coop. Out of stock here too. I’m prepared to accept a lot of shortages, but this may be the one that causes me to riot.

@morenachos

Another vote for Co-op Sea salt & Chardonnay vinegar crisps. Amazing and so salty!
I came on to say this Grin I can't have them in the house or I'll eat them all

Inthesameboatatmo · 21/09/2021 12:25

Squares or salt and shake crisps

Inthesameboatatmo · 21/09/2021 12:26
