Walkers rant - bags less than half full! Also, the new flavours...

Try Pringles instead. Really closely packed. Optimised design. Limited unfilled space. Less disappointment. :T


Nice work on the "try the taste of real squirrel" btw - from a bag of crisps :rotfl: ?? :j

Well, why else would someone buy "Cajun Squirrel" flavoured crisps unless they expected Walkers had approximated the flavour of squirrel through seasoning etc? The crisps wouldn't have sold and been given so much publicity if Walkers had plainly advertised on the packet that they were just generic beef-flavoured crisps. I myself knew they were just another gimmick flavour and wouldn't taste of actual squirrel (I didn't buy the packet I tried), but I'd bet there were quite a lot of people who thought Walkers were selling a suitable fascimile of the flavour of real squirrel. (which is going back to what I said earlier about their gimmick flavours being cop-outs that taste like regular beef or chicken-flavoured crisps)

Edit: I couldn't tell if you were being genuine with the "nice work" thing, and pointing out the ludicrousness that people bought another gimmick flavour from Walkers expecting the taste of real squirrel, or you were disputing the fact that people purchased them because they expected to taste the flavour of squirrel. It wasn't clear.

I used to enjoy hedgehog crisps but the were not on the market for long. Nicely packed they were too. Not made by Walkers though as I recall.

How do you think the manufacture gets around "half empty" bags ? the product is weight manufactured, law changes so bag is sold by bag would not work due to nature of product, unless process like pringles all same size, the same appplies to cereal, it settles so the bag could be half/three qtrs or what ever, you have a point about the bag but it to a certain extent is pointless ?

My response to this is that as it stands, the crisps have about a 50% chance of being crushed anyway.

No.

Wrong- the air protects the whole bag, and you clearly have no perception of how things work.

Move along people, nothing to see here, just a troll.

Again, so anybody with an opinion different to yours is a "troll"? Thank you for the demonstration of your razor-sharp debating skills.

I liked Smiths Bovril crisps.

Can you still get them?

I can now think of nothing else but crisps... I so desperately want a pack now, regardless of size, weight, packaging ... I'm supposed to be on a diet

Yes but the price for this is over £1 for each tub except offers which proves my point of cost
