To think no one actually likes cheese and onion crisps

I'll eat them when they are in multipacks and the kids have had all the salt and vinegar and I appreciate their savouriness and crunchiness, but I don't actually like the taste very much. Go on prove me wrong, crisp weirdos.
Yes=cheese and NO ion
No=PLEASE and onion
Ps does my post count as the first yanbu vote?

I always knew you were mad Stealth Grin

C&O are my favourites!

I loathe cheese and onion crisps. I like the sandwich but would rather stick pins in my eyes than eat or even smell my 7 year old eating them.

bettycat81 · 18/03/2020 18:17

They make a great topping on macaroni cheese!

purrswhileheeats · 18/03/2020 18:18

Hate cheese & onion out of a packet but weirdly don't mind them served in a bowl at someone else's house Confused It's as if the cheesy feet smell loses its potency once it's out in fresh air.

KahlanRahl · 18/03/2020 18:18

I like them but as a sevond choulice. Sour cream and onion is my first choice.

dayswithaY · 18/03/2020 18:20

I hate them, in crisp world they are the lowest social class, next to prawn cocktail and Bovril. Ready salted are the aristocracy. Plus I make my DH wash his hands after eating them in case we get cheese and onion aroma on the remote control.

Stormblessed · 18/03/2020 18:22

Love them in a sandwich with loads of butter

Minesacider · 18/03/2020 18:24

Cheese and onion McCoys on cheap white bread is my filthy food habit.

Ronnie27 · 18/03/2020 18:25

You are WRONG.

JunkshopLil · 18/03/2020 18:25

I bloody love Cheese & Onion - Golden Wonder are the best but rare as hen's teeth.

I think Salt & Vinegar are absolutely vile and can't imagine how people like them? Only Prawn Cocktail run them a close second.

Good job we're all different innit. That's probably why they make different flavours Wink

Beetie1 · 18/03/2020 18:34

I eat pretty much anything... except cheese and onion crisps and melon! Never liked them.

SageRosemary · 18/03/2020 18:36

"YABVU OP, Tayto cheese and onion are the best crisps in the world."

Pay heed to @DioneTheDiabolist, she clearly knows what she is talking about, the next best crisps are Shamrock flavoured crisps by Keoghs

Lozz22 · 18/03/2020 18:43

Cheese and onion crisps between 2 slices of white bread and butter dipped in salad cream is the food of the gods

chica1 · 18/03/2020 18:47

Sorry in our house we buy packs of just cheese and onion ! Everyone loves them in our house they are the best

ALongHardWinter · 18/03/2020 19:18

YABVVVVVU! Cheese and onion crisps are the best. I don't know anyone who doesn't like them,apart from one person and she's a weirdo anyway. Salt and vinegar are vile.

Travis1 · 18/03/2020 19:21

Golden wonder cheese and onion is life!

ALongHardWinter · 18/03/2020 19:21

I actually bought a 12 pack of Walkers cheese and onion yesterday in Poundland. But they were 2 pounds. GrinThey should last me a few days a couple of weeks.

bellabasset · 18/03/2020 19:22

I hate them, prefer plain crisps with a little salt

OhMUMaaa · 18/03/2020 19:23

C&O are one of my favourite flavours! They make the best ever crisp sarnies, too.

S&V = horrible, lip stinging bastards

SlatternIsTrying · 18/03/2020 19:24

Tayto cheese and onion - there is no substitute

HarrietThePi · 18/03/2020 19:34

I'm completely confused. Even I don't know which was to vote

Grin

My top flavours in no particular order are:

Beef and onion
Salt and vinegar
Ready salted
Cheese and onion*

  • Lots of cheese and onion crisps contain garlic powder which literally makes me puke as I'm allergic to garlic.

I don't eat many flavours not on that list, but will make do if necessary. Only flavours I will never eat are prawn cocktail, anything barbecue, and tomato.

LaurieMarlow · 18/03/2020 20:09

When I was pregnant with DS1 I had intense cravings for prawn cocktail crisps. I can’t fathom it now, they’re gross Grin

StealthPolarBear · 18/03/2020 20:14

My yanbus are going up.
It's a bit like cake. I love chocolate cake but I get people telling me it's too sweet and sickly and they much prefer a nice carrot cake.
Well the other day I bought a chocolate cake and a carrot cake for work. Chocolate cake had gone within hours. Carrot cake may well still be there in its box, it was when I left.

I love Walker's cheese and onion.

Tayto's are just offensive.

My favourite crisps are plain Lay's.

LaurieMarlow · 18/03/2020 20:20

Taytos are just offensive.

I have no actual words 😱😱😱
