Walkers crisps ripoff
Comments
-
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.Competition Wins:
Glee Goodie Bag!

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)0 -
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.The best portion of your life will be the small, nameless moments you spend smiling with someone who matters to you.0

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

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.0 -
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 .0
