117 replies

CharliesAngles · 07/11/2025 11:49

Here we go, a bit of excitement for you all on a gloomy Friday.

What colour packet should Cheese and Onion crisps be in?

*Disclaimer - these are the regular size packets, often bought in a big with multiple flavours.

My favourite C&O crisps is Golden Wonder and I think they've got it right ✅️

Walkers. But they should be green as vegetables (onion) are green, and the sea (salt) is blue.

Dammit.
I knew this would happen, I've done it enough times when I open food snacks threads.
My apologies @Nevaurs

Yellow like Kettle. Blue is a salt and vinegar colour. Walkers can get fucked with changing the flavour of salt and vinegar a few years ago, they were perfect and they’ve never been that nice since then.🤬🤬🤬

Yes (my version anyway 🦶)

DiscoBob · 07/11/2025 12:01

Logic dictates they should be a mix of yellow and green.

I always think of dark blue as being McCoy's ready salted. But then they went with red to match walkers. Actually golden wonder plain were dark blue as well. So dark blue for RS.

Then light blue for salt and vinegar.

Red should be chilli/paprika or ketchup flavour. Which is fucking disgusting btw.

Needmorelego · 07/11/2025 12:01

I literally just ate a bag.
Just thought I'd brag about that.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 07/11/2025 12:03

No no no no no you're all wrong.

Blue is obviously cheese and onion.

And they all taste the same IMO.

Fudgeytastic · 07/11/2025 12:03

Years ago Sainsbury’s did a proper economy 6 pack of the basic flavours for about 20p. Those were the best cheese and onion crisps ever. I find some crisps too crunchy and thick to be enjoyable nowadays.

KrystalStubbs · 07/11/2025 12:10

I am old enough to remember when we had only one flavour of crisps (with the salt in a little twist of blue paper). Then the excitement of cheese and onion crisps in the shops in green packets. So green will always be the correct colour and to this day it still confuses me if they're in a blue bag. Aldi's are the best everyday crisps - their prawn cocktail ones are fab too.

I am 32 years old and have only just realised I have always said it wrong! 😳 I keep saying “crisps” out loud and it sounds so weird

PInkyStarfish · 07/11/2025 12:13

Kettle.

JoeSikoraTommysStory · 07/11/2025 12:14

GREEN 100%
Also golden wonder & KP crisps are top tier!!!
walkers are shite.

Tudor were the best crisps & need brought back.

Duckyfondant · 07/11/2025 12:15

McCoy's are my favourite. They're almost too flavorful

OccasionalHope · 07/11/2025 12:17

Yellow because cheese is yellow.
