For me in first place it's an oldie ........ Walkers Smokey bacon.

Followed closely by -
McCoys King Prawn
Walkers chicken and thyme
Chilli heatwave Doritos
Branstons Beef and mustard

What's your top five?

Well it’s obviously salt and vinegar

moneybeingwasted · 09/09/2022 01:10

Walkers Roast Chicken!

Middleagedandcreaking · 09/09/2022 01:35

Tayto cheese and onion
Tayto smokey bacon
BOBBY'S BBQ Ribs (addicted to these!)
M&S cheese tasters
Any Dorritos

It depends what for. If it is for a crisp sandwich, then you need salt & vinegar.

I am a bit addicted to the crispy Wotsits at the moment. They are basically cheesy Nic Naks, and you can get them in a sharing (lol) size bag.

Ready salted - but only works when crisp itself is top drawer.

Brannigans Beef and Mustard

Brannigans Ham ans Pickle

Both discontinued 😭

I bought my ex a box of every single Seabrook flavour as a Christmas present. He pissed me off so i ate the lot by myself. Canadian Ham was amazing!

I forgot about ham and pickle they were good. Occasionally I'd see a rogue Brannigans box in a corner shop but it hasn't happened for years

No crisp sandwich is Smokey bacon or prawn cocktail with ketchup 🤤

  1. Salted

….er…that’s it. All the others taste of chemicals to me.

Which is ironic, as salt is a chemical, but it’s the only crisp that admits it. I’m prepared to bet that the closest a Prawn Cocktail Flavour crisp has got to a prawn is when it was trolleyed past the chilled fish section on the way to the checkout.

Discos pickled onion. Gutted they stopped making them

I actually bought some of these in Home Bargains a few months ago.

catinboots123 · 09/09/2022 17:18

Meat flavoured crisps are all rank.

I'll make an exception for prawn cocktail but yes I know that's not meat it's fish.

Salt and vinegar all the way 🙌🏻

Discos, squares, chipsticks or spirals are the best.

Cheese and onion taste like how BO smells.

giveovernate · 09/09/2022 17:39

UnconscionableSnacking · 08/09/2022 14:48

Ready salted. Boring perhaps, but for me the best!

Agreed

giveovernate · 09/09/2022 17:39

Salt and shake

pinok · 09/09/2022 17:41

McCoy’s flame grilled steak or salt n vinegar
Salt n vinegar chip sticks
Flaming hot monster munch
sour cream Pringles

pinok · 09/09/2022 17:44

Cigarettesaftersex1 · 08/09/2022 17:16

My 5 would be:

Ready salted Chipsticks - sadly cannot find these anymore
Cheese & onion Discos
Picked onion Monster Munch
Bacon Wheat Crunchies
Walkers cheese & onion

Yes bring back ready salted chipsticks!

Soubriquet · 09/09/2022 17:46

Walkers French fries Worcester sauce. The best ever

Frazzles
Salt and Vinegar walkers
Spicy tomato snaps

Moonface123 · 09/09/2022 17:48

Yes, l agree, you can' t beat Walkers Smokey Bacon crisp.

XtinaCaligulara · 09/09/2022 17:49

Hooks hoop - BBQ beef
Pringles - Texas BBQ (used to be sour cream but they've put too much seasoning on them now)
Walkers - prawn cocktail

georgarina · 09/09/2022 17:51

Walkers prawn cocktail
Wotsits
Doritos cool original/nacho cheese (depending on the day)
Walkers salt and vinegar
Pringles original/c&o/s&v (mixed together preferably)
Skips

Oh and if we're including non-UK then Fritos, sour cream and cheddar Ruffles, and crunchy Cheetos are food of the gods

LaQuern · 09/09/2022 19:01

Lays Oregano.

Only eaten in Greece and washed down with a pint of Mythos.

oprahfan · 09/09/2022 19:11

Right. Only 2 types.

Scampi and lemon Nik Naks
pickled onion monster munch
(roast beef monster munch at a push)

millionthingsonmytodolist · 09/09/2022 19:17

God, ready salted chipsticks! I LOVED them.

My favourites are the crunchy version of Wotsits that someone mentioned earlier, and the salt and pepper different shaped big bags from M&S or Waitrose.

Co-Op also did some 'dirty fries' flavour crisps, which were a spiced cheese flavour, really moreish!
