Walkers crisps ripoff

charlie-chan

I'm originally from Leicester and the home of Walkers Crisps is in Leicestershire (Ashby-De-La-Zouch I think).

We grew up eating Walkers crisps and now I can't really stand them :rotfl:.

I can eat their Smokey Bacon flavoured crisps but I prefer Quavers or Roast Beef Monster Munch.

Their Walkers Baked range are alright too.

Kettle Chips (damn yanks) are no-where near as good as they used to be, they're a bit greasy now. They used to be darker too with more "grains" if you know what I mean, they leave a bit of a yucky greasy after-taste now I reckon


Btw, why do people say "Mr T" for Tesco? Is it some kind of in joke/insult or are they just lazy/"trendy"? (ie dd for darling daughter etc etc)

Mr T (and other 'nicknames' for major supermarkets ) are an attempt by posters either to hinder the supermarket finding the comment via a search engine or as a touch of light humour.

Totally off topic again I know, but so what if Tesco (oops!) found the comment?

Morrisons sell them from time to time thee are on offer along with wheat crunchies every few months

I remember the Scampi & Lemon Nik-Naks. Shame really, haven't seen any Nik-Naks round these parts in years.

I think Seabrook crisps are far to salty, even the other flavours from ready salted.

I prefer mccoys, sensations or doritoes, but its a shame they all don't do as many flavours as walkers.

Seeing Brannigans crisps reminded me of these...

I prefer McCOYS'S crisps, as they actually have some substance to them .I personally think walkers and kettle crisps texture is a bit cheap and the price is ott for the quality you actually get .

I try hard not to buy crisps...but i have to confess i love walkers crisps.....is this the Leicester girl coming out of me?
