        The problem is though, if you buy them enough, any other salt and vinegar crisps just taste like ready salted.

      Yup. I could eat salt and vinegar crisps til my tongue burns and my eyes are watering. People can have their flavour of choice, but in a multipack, they’re my number one.

    Not the best but it seems like they discontinued it after I developed a habit of getting a bag or two each grocery trip: Cheddar Crispers. Or maybe it’s just a cheese shortage like that pepper shortage caused Hoy Fong Sriracha sauce to be hard to find for a bit.

    If we’re taking the classic red, blue green flavours, it’s cheese and onion. But the packet should be green. Salt and vinegar should be blue.

        Well I love your passion but I think the green of cheese is greener than the green of vinegar. Also salt is blue.

        I don’t think I’ve ever encountered Prawn Cocktail crisps with dairy or egg derived ingridients either, unlike Salt and Vinegar which is always a toss up for containing milk powder.

    The best potato chip I have had is the most recent Lay’s promo flavor, Brazillian Garlic Sauce.

    Those suckers taste like a crispy variant of the mashed potatoes I make at home. It’s even buttery! It’s soooo good, and I hate that it’s just a promo flavor and not something they will keep around forever.

    If I had to save one flavour it would probably be Cheese & Onion. However, there’s so many excellent varieties out there beyond the old guard.

    I’ve been off crisps completely for a month as part of my diet. I’ve lost nearly 2kg. Which is great, but fuck I miss them. I’m going cold turkey until the October holidays. Probably easier getting the jab to be honest, as crisps are my like crack to me.

    Most recent fave flavour was the Walker’s Jalapeno & Nacho Cheese crinkle cuts. They go amazing with beer. And therein lies the problem.

    Everyday? It has to be salt & vinegar. So many bangers to choose from, too: McCoy’s, Discos, Pringles, supermarket own-brand twirls, Chipsticks…

    If I want a special treat, though? I recently discovered Croky À L’Ancienne Sweet Paprika and let me tell you, they blow every other paprika crisp out of the water. Don’t know what they’re doing over there in Belgium but it’s truly a game changer.
