What are the BEST salt and vinegar crisps

103 replies

I absolutely love the flavour but frequently find they are never strong enough.

I'm talking tongue tingly, upper lip sweat inducing, super duper strong salt and vinegar flavour.

What are your best recommendations? So far the strongest I've found is Co-op sea salt and chardonnay, but they seem weaker than they used to be 😫

Hit me up if you know a better one!

Seabrooks are so strong they send me sweating and drooling! They are ridged ones, usually sold in multipacks. The other flavours are quite mild but the s&v is the strongest I've ever tried!

Golden wonder fully flavoured!

Ok lots to try! Thank you all for your recommendations.

Seems Co-op ones are still the way to go! I'll give them another try as it's probably been about 6 months since I had the disappointingly weak bag of them, but this could have been a bad batch.

Thanks ladies, my tastebuds are tingling now!

I have had a couple of packs from co-op that didn't hit the mark either. But all the other ones have been fab, so probably a bad batch.

Taylors seasalt and vinegar. I get them in LIDL when in stock. (previously sold under the Mackies brand)

Squares, Discos and the blue Pringles!

That's odd, I don't find the seabrooks strong at all!

As per PPs, the co op ones are by far the strongest I've tasted, to the point of being painful.

pregnant?

Just sent DH off to the Co-op. Thanks ladies.

Tyrells (not the ridged)

so far nothing has beaten the Co Op ones for me, love them and completely ruin your mouth! 😃

Marshmallowbrain · 10/06/2024 17:04

Discos have the strongest flavour of all time.

I lick all the flavouring off before demolishing the crisp and it makes my tongue so sore but I can't get enough 😂

McCoys crinkle cut used to be the best. Squares are still quite frizzly on the tongue.

Ha! I'm still waiting for him to get back - he's not gone specifically for the crisps, we needed milk. I'm fully expecting him to forget them or get the wrong ones. He's not the most reliable when it comes to shopping.

These! Loads of flavour, I'm pretty much addicted to these and always buy a load in case they run out one week.

FitAt50 · 10/06/2024 17:19

100% Co-op

whyhavetheygotsomany · 10/06/2024 17:24

Discos

Hotttchoc · 10/06/2024 17:27

REAL

The salt and vinegar ones are amazing - very strong

whiteroseredrose · 10/06/2024 18:37

Pipers for me They taste like chip shop chips

jmh740 · 10/06/2024 18:48

Discos or frisps

LoreleiG · 10/06/2024 18:58

Walkers for me. With a bottle of coke outside a pub in the 80s. The seasalt and balsamic kettle chips are lovely too though, IMO.
