Default Salt & Vinegar v Cheese & Onion! Which are the ultimate crisps?
Whilst it's nothing to do with MoneySaving, I'm a major crisp fan but only Salt & Vinegar, Worcester Sauce and Pickled Onion count. To settle a serious discourse between myself and philistine Cheese & Onion and Ready Salted fans, I need your votes. If you were marooned on a desert island with only one crate of crisps, which of these (non-poncy) flavours would you hope for?

Barbeque
Beef
Cheese & Onion
Cheese
Pickled Onion
Prawn Cocktail
Ready Salted
Roast Chicken
Salt & Vinegar
Smokey Bacon
Spicy/Hot
Worcestershire Sauce

Vote here or click reply to represent the flavour closest to your heart.

Coverdinbees - listen in MSE towers they were suggesting 'lime & chili flavour' and even 'guacamole' or 'carrot wedge crisps'..... (i may have to look at my recruitment policy)

Salt & Vinegar to go with cider

Sneeze & Bunion to go with red wine

All the other flavours are just Strange.

Salt and vinegar are clearly the superior crisps.

I have never had a cheese and onion craving, wheras I crave salt and vinegar crisps a lot. (I only have 1 packet a fortnight though!)

And cheese and onion make you pong!

Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...
