To complain to Walkers Crisps

[Bouncingturtle]

I bought a six pack of Pickled Onion Monster Munch - my pregnancy craving.
Imagine my horror when I pulled out a pack, opened it, ate a crisp to discover they WERE NOT PICKLED ONION. It was Roast beef (yuck)!!! Checked the other packets - they were ALL roast beef .
Check the pack they came in - yep should be six pickled onion flavour, so I hadn't bought the wrong ones by mistake.
I'm going to write them a very stern email to tell them how utterly traumatised I was by not having any pickled onion monster munch.
Going to take them back to Asda (where I bought them from).

Do you think they'll send me some freebies

Freebies aplenty! go to town on the craving thing and you might get a box load

I think they will asume that pregnancy has changed the way some flavours are preceived.

It happens, really!

Take them back to Asda, then write to Walkers too I say. How dare they fob you off with roast beef?

I craved pickled onions etc when I was pregnant,never thought of eating them,I was eating pickled beetroot by the jar full!

want to swap? accidently bought jumbo pack of pickled onion [eeuuurch!] instead of roast beef[yum].

...or complain....

OMG - do you know what your having (ie girl or boy?) I craved Pickled Onion Monster munch in my 1st and 3rd pgs - and have all boys

I accidently picked up a pack of "flamin hot" once in a hurry in the shop - wasn't impressed when I got home to find I had the wrong flavour

Well I've been to Asda, took my roast beef crisps back and they refunded my money. Picked up another pack, check through the outer packaging and they were roast beef too! Next one was pickled onion. Took both to Customer Service Counter and the lady there opened both packs, and yep one was filled with roast beef flavour and the other was pickled onion, so I took it away with me.
I shall be writing them a stern letter. Asda will also be getting in touch!

Don't know what I am having, won't find out for another 5 weeks....

I thought they'd stoppped making Roast Beef Monster Munch.
So they still make them?
I used to love them, although I do agree that Pickled Onion ones are better.
I love Walkers Pickled Onion crisps too. In fact they were one of the reasons I am now trying to lose another 2 stone

there you go!
I find it always pays to complain,have done so in the past and once even complained when i bought a cadbury's cheesecake and it was horrid.
Was worth it ,the manufacturer sent me a cheque for £8!

wah, that was my craving during pg too - all i could think about for weeks was pickled onion monster munch, became an obsession.

I would've gone freaking mad and lost the plot in asda if that'd happened to me. Run along the aisles sweeping everything from the shelves, throw yourself sobbing into the crisp aisle, shake your fists at the heavens and howl 'whyyyyyyyyyy???', and 'thank you godless world!'

I'm sure they'll respond positively.

Thanks for the advice - and the website! Good old Mumsnet

BTW they do a multi pack with pickled onion, roast beef and flaming hot.
But I only like the pickle onion ones...

What if you had been Hindu?
Then it would also have been against your religion.
Rebellions and riots have been started by similar mistakes
Walkers should be taken to task

Would it really be against your religeon? Does any cow actually go anywhere near monster munch of any variety?

my craving was Pickled Onion as well

how bizarre so many of us craved these things

say you are vegetarin for maimum impact and compensation

Have to confesss have never really studied the ingredients of beef monster munch , but surely there must be a smidgeon of a cow near them, in order for them to be described as roast beef.
Bisto beef gravy does and so does bovril

Too late, and I too suspect that the nearest a cow will have been to a packet of roast beef monster much was when a lorry load passed the nearest herd!

.....Maize, sunflower oil (25%) , roast beef flavour [wheat rusk, hydrolysed soya protein, lactose (from milk), flavourings, flavour enhancers (monosodium glutamate, disodium 5'-ribonucleotide), colour (ammonia caramel)] , salt, wheat flour.

and certified for vegetarians.....

haha at certified for vegetarians

it says so here...

What about the trade description's act....
Sounds like a breach to me

But they are described as "Roast beef flavour"....I guess you could argue the toss as to whether they have the same flavour as roast beef.....few crisps taste of what they say they do to me....

crikey yes, can you imagine Roast Beef crisps
Thinly Sliced pieces of fillet beef lightly toasted in olive oil
