Very Important Question About Crisps With Exciting Poll

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 ✅️

I don't like cheese and onion crisps but they should be in a green/yellow bags. I also don't like salt and vinegar crisps either but they should be in blue bags. Other flavours have got it right, chicken, prawn cocktail, beef and bacon but why are ready salted alternatively called plain crisps sold in red bags?

@Coffeeishot ive been reliably told that the ‘Monster Claws’ in Lidl are superior, this is certainly true about their ‘Wotsit’ copies

Oh my Dd shops at Lidl I will get her to pick me up a packet to try.

My favourite is the Lidl deluxe c&o. Pack is black, burts are good too, they are yellow

of the regular ones cheese and onion is usually blue

CalzoneOnLegs · 08/11/2025 09:22

I see Lidl are doing a blue stilton and red onion crisp, that’s a first (?) AFAIK

I know these are corn chips rather than crisps but I bought this flavour today.
I am a bit scared to try them.....

Saw them the other day and both myself and DD thought they'd be gross.
Let us know when you've taste tested pleased.
I also saw blue taxi crisps the other day. Not sure I even know what a taxi is normally like but these also looked totally wrong.

CharliesAngles · 08/11/2025 10:32

Intrigued at 'blue taxi crisps' @starmoonsun I've never heard of them.

Please report back on your findings Intrepid Crisps Explorers @Coffeeishot and @Needmorelego !

I didn't buy the Aldi version of Monster Munch because they were only in multi packs with Flaming Hot (ok -ish) and Pickled Onion (Blurrrgh 🤢)

CharliesAngles · 08/11/2025 10:44

Oh I see! Thanks @Needmorelego
I've seen Takis is a few UK shops now.
Used to be able to only buy them from Spain and Portugal, along with Lays.
We were in Spain in October half term but don't recall seeing the blue takis.

Have you given them a go yet @Needmorelego ?
It must be this year's "in" flavour, because
I just came across this doing my food shop...

@CharliesAngles I haven't cracked them open yet.
I was hoping to find the Pepsi gingerbread flavour and try both at the same time.
