FFS walkers crisps have been around for yeeeeears, so why do I still expect a blue bag of crisps to be salt and vinegar?

I'm 29 but this makes me feel so old! Kids look at me like I'm daft, and also though I have made up opal fruits!!

Confuse them with Marathons too!

I'm 31 and I still expect the blue bag to be salt and vinegar too!

blue crisps are cheese and onion innit
you don't eat enough crisps

I'm 40 and hate it why cant they leave anything alone.
Snickers = marathon.
Starburst = opal fruits.

Is it because you have eaten non-Walkers crisps for most of your crisp-eating life?

Blue = salt & vinegar
Green = cheese & onion
snickers = marathon
starburst = opal fruits
oil of olay = oil of ulay
cif = jif

Youngsters who don't understand... Golden Wonder crisps from the good old days were green for cheese and onion and blue for salt and vinegar. I have not even seen these in the shops for years so I honestly don't know why I still get them mixed up!

Because Golden Wonder did it the other way around, and blue for salt and vinegar makes more sense (blue = the sea = salt, green = plants = onions).

I'm with you - it still confuses me (and I eat Walkers crisps a lot!)

Salt & Vinegar should be blue and I will never refer to Opal Fruits as Starburst

What about smiths crisps?

Thanks georgimama! It does make more sense doesn't it... It's not just cause I'm old

Georgimama I love your logic !

OP - you are a youngster to me

CaptainKirksNipples if your old I'm ancient

I still say Jif, Opal Fruits, Marathon, Fry's, all the old brand names, and I am 32.

that have changed frys?

Every other crisp company does blue for salt and vinegar. Think about Smiths, Kettle Chips, etc.

Just Walkers got it wrong.

I think Walkers have killed the market. There just isn't enough choice anymore! Whatever happened to KP and Golden Wonder?

Frys peppermint cream bars are made by Cadburys now I think.

KP still do nuts.

Forgot they did crisps...

I used to love Golden Wonder...our school used to sell them in the hall every break.

No Frys? What about Turkish Delight then?

I always always pick the wrong bag thinking its cheese and onion and get salt and vinegar, its just plain wrong!
ps does anyone remember the frys bar that had all different flavours in it not just mint? and also mint cracknell ohhhh memories, a whole other thread emerging

yes I was thinking about that fry's bar mmmm....

I'm nipping to the shop to get a fry's/cadbury's bar now!

Tesco own brand crisps and McCoys do it properly, their salt n vinegar are in blue packets. I like Seabrook crisps too. Used to love Golden Wonder.

Was it called Five centres, stepaway?Anyone remember Zero bars and a mint one called Icebreaker, don't think it was around for long?

Fry's chocolate cream is my absolute fave. Can't stand salt and vinegar crisps. I quite like cheese and onion but isn't it funny how they always taste so much nicer when you're nicking a few from someone else's packet? As opposed to having a pack of your own. Funny that.
