I'm so sad. What have they done?! 45% less salt = minging crisps 😢

I didn’t like them at first but I’m used to it now.

However, like PP, I wish they would stop doing this. I know they are trying to make a healthier generation but it’s sucks.

Soubriquet · 26/07/2022 16:53

I miss pot noodles. When they tasted good.

I can’t eat them now. They suck

Have a look in the South African shops, its a big thing here.

We get Lays here (which I think is your version of Walkers).... they only went and DISCONTINUED salt and vinegar flavour. WTAF. I still do not understand it....

They was a bit of a public outcry and they claimed that roast beef, chicken, teriyaki and American bbq were way more popular. Once again I say, WTAF. Roast beef is also minging.

Thanks!

@Blackdiame I love those crisps....just thinking about them and my jaw starts to ache at the thought of all that salt!! 😋 😄

Another vote for the co-op ones, they’re amazing! Did

They are so brutal. I love them. My local coop has just started selling them in smaller grab bags now which is saving my waistline so I don't demolish an entire massive share bag on my own in one go.

@Soubriquet but ultra processed food full of artificial shite will never be healthy.
In a few years time we will realise we have made a huge mistake adding artificial sweeteners to everything, once research into their health consequences becomes clear.

It annoys me that these occasional treats have now been ruined for everyone because some people cannot take responsibility for moderating their own food intake. These foods should not be eaten everyday in the first place!
I don’t care at all for fizzy drink but I am intolerant to sweeteners. I’m pissed off that when I go to the cinema every six months or so I can no longer drink an ice blast unless I want to be ill afterwards. They taste awful now too!

DH got a packet of Greggs S&V the other day. I tried one and it was very good.

I agree with so many of you.

Walkers crisps seem stale and as the S&V flavour... just plain nasty.

Would love some Golden Wonder crisps but haven't seen any in years.

Tesco crisps seem a bit better but you barely get any crisps , as such, just a half bag of broken bits.

And while I'm on the subject... where are my beloved ( as in my username) beef and onion crisps?

And WHY are cheese and onion and prawn cocktail in The 'Meaty ' selection?

mizz70 · 26/07/2022 20:41

The best salt and Vinegar crisps are the co op own make brill

apintortwo · 26/07/2022 20:54

YANBU OP. They should stop meddling with food.

Sad to here that McCoys have been ruined. They used to be my favourite but I can no longer have them for health reasons (gluten)

M&S do good crisps

Try golden wonder salt and vinegar, much better. I wish they'd leave food alone though.

Oh god, don’t tell everyone. There’ll be a national shortage 😳😂

or Golden Wonder will seize and opportunity to bugger about with the recipe 😢
