Fuck you Walkers crisps

[Liesmorelies]

Just opened a bag of what I thought was ready salted crisps. It's a red bag, obviously. A foul sweet taste ensued causing me to check the bag. Fucking tomato ketchup flavour. Firstly, who asked for tomato ketchup flavour crisps? Secondly, who wants to be reading the bags when buying a bag of crisps? We all have enough on our plates without needing to do that. Bags' colours denote the flavour and if they want to bring in stupid novelty flavours for weirdos to eat and run out of colours (changing the shade slightly is not sufficient) then these atrocities should be relegated to the bottom shelves where no one will pick them up in error. Heads should roll for this. I'm left having to decide between no crisps or getting dressed, which was not on my agenda for today, and going out in the rain.

Not so keen on the Walkers version, but I do like a tomatoey crisp. Golden Wonder is what I go for, when I can find them. To me, crisps are a bit like wine, in that the flavour should match what else you're having. For instance, I rarely pick salt and vinegar or ready salted unless I'm drinking something sweet.
DH has wired in to my tomato crisps before, thinking they're ready salted, and lived to regret it. He loathes tomato flavoured things. Heh heh.

To be accompanied by hot chocolate from the venting machine that was hotter then the sun and burnt your tongue!

Bad luck. I don’t eat crisps anyway but we have a surplus of prawn cocktail as the multi thing is cheaper per packet but no one eats them. Does anyone like prawn cocktail? Just not cricket to be included

I love prawn cocktail crisps - in fact I broke my self imposed crisps ban this week as I was overcome with a sudden urge for pink pringles - they're so tangy.
Though I love too many flavours actually. Hence the ban.

I would double down on that and say that the purest crisp is with no flavour at all.

I actually like smiths without the salt.

I think the argument there though is you are mostly tasting the oil the crisp is cooked in, and probably not much else.

I can't stand prawn cocktail either and smoky bacon or roast chicken don't agree with me

Returning with a photo (when it loads) of the appropriate amount of ketchup dust that ketchup crisps should have.

I get horrendous indigestion from smokey bacon crisps you know the type where you think you are having a heart attack ! I wonder what that is about?

Just count your lucky stars you get flavoured crisps. I live in a land berefit of prawn cocktail crisps. I could cry!!!!

Lol I'm glad I'm not the only one who did this, bought a multipack of them by mistake because, like you I assumed red=ready salted. Was devastated, they tasted awful too

Me too. It’s absolutely horrific. The roast chicken and smoky bacon do it for me.
