What are the BEST salt and vinegar crisps

[Alllllthemunchies]

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!

I have tried all the s&v crisps available in all good (and shit) shops in the U.K. and have come to the conclusion that the fancy ones are all disappointing. Either so strong they're mouth-numbing so you don't taste them after 3 bites or a bit bland. Added to that they're so desperate to be 'posh' that they often taste sweet .

What you need are 1980s-style reformed starchy snacks. They retain the cheap salty vinegary flavour like nothing else. In ascending order of preference :

3: Discos
2: Squares
1: Chipsticks.

HOW HAS NOBODY SAID HULA HOOPS?

If you can get your hands on Tayto, the salt and vinegar ones would strip the paint off your walls just from opening the bag. They are fabulous!

It's the coop ones. They strip your tounge

Co op for us, we go out of our way to get them.

Tesco crinkle cut in the big bags are also really strong.

Can't believe some people are suggesting Pringles. These are tasteless compared to the above ones!

Came on to say co-op. My mouth is watering just thinking about them.

Agree!! I love them

Discos pack a punch too.

I think I have found my people.

Although I haven’t tried these co-op ones, I don’t have a branch near me.
Going to have to make a trip out to find them. I love Pringles and Discos

Smiths Chip sticks.

Wow, they are going to change your life. I'd buy up whatever stock they have when you go.

Tyrells without a doubt. Salt and vinegary without ripping your mouth to shreds

Oh god I think you might have hooked me into something new - these sound amazing.

Previously I was going with spicy crisps for the tongue burn but this is a new path

Co op all the way here too.

(plus if you are going anyway their cheese and jalapeño bread)

Walkers
McCoys

Co-op Chardonnay vinegar and sea salt. Hands down.

The Co-op ones are absolutely the best. But Aldi do a good own brand version as well, that are pretty much as good!

Disco or Pringle

Tyrells, gorgeous

Burts are quite good.

love a Burts crisp!

🤣 exactly this! They are lethal

Without a doubt - O’Donnells. We’re in NI though, not sure if they’re available outside Ireland!

I'm going to try all of these suggestions thanks ladies! Who knew so many of us enjoy melting the skin on our tongues 😂

@ScaredSceptic hmmm...maybe my threshold for such things is quite low. My DH finds them really strong too though. I'd better try the coop ones.

Adding their all dressed limited edition crisps to the list. They're addictive!
