To think that crisps have gone downhill?

I bought a pack of salt and vinegar discos today and my mouth is completely intact. No burns. No tongue peeling off. None of that.

They've been neutered Angry And it's not even just Discos! McCoys have gone right down as well. Crisp companies need to up the flavour a bit, none of these would make a good crisp butty anymore.

Same with S+V pringles 😫 I stand there shaking each tube to listen for excess salt before purchasing otherwise the disappointment ruins my night..

Tesco are selling Candy Cane flavoured crisps. I mean, who would eat those? I'm appalled.

There's some chip shop flavour ones, can't remember the brand. They were good, my colleague let me try some and I had a singed mouth!

I was impressed by the Asda multipack recently. The prawn cocktail and salt and vinegar turned my mouth inside out!

Golden Wonder salt and vinegar caused my mouth serious pain. It was amazing. This was recently as well and made me nostalgic for flavoursome crisps that actually hurt to eat.

proper Irish Tayto’s or Keogh’s! Keogh’s are the best, they are strong and crunchy and yum.

Omg SnV pringles Sad when I was last in Spain they seemed to have the proper tongue stripping flavour, I was so addicted I came home with no skin inside my mouth Grin ...back home though whenever I've bought them they're just so disappointing and flavourless. Bring back the flavour!!!

We randomly have Taytos in work (I'm in South Wales) and they definitely have the most flavouring. Weirdly I never noticed that when I actually lived in Ireland and had them all the time!

Brannigans smoked ham and pickle are another good one. So much fake flavouring on them they burn your tongue.

You need to get your laughing tackle around these. 4 x thicker than normal crisps and 10 x the flavour!

Salt and vinegar Squares are still good. My 2.5yo grabbed one and I thought he would cry but he liked it and reached for another!

The biggest loss to the crisp world has been Spring Onion. How the fuck can a flavour just disappear??
Seabrook Spring Onion were amazing

@overnightangel at risk of sounding like a broken record... Tayto still do spring onion and they are amazing. Grin

Another vote for the Co-op salt & chaddonay vinegar which are my absolute favourite crisp ATM

When pregnant with DD, the only thing I could was salt and vinegar discos. They taste shit now.

Frazzles are the best. Last year a colleague bought me a six pack for my birthday. Sadly she has retired now.
