Waiting for the Tesco shop to arrive. Time a or two before hand.

Just finished my late lunch

Being colour blind meant I was surprised that the first choice was green

Cheese & Onion crisps being the toenail scrapings of Beelzebub, a black bin bag would be best 👍

Burn the heretic !

 

[fossyant]

There are only two colours. Purple for Walkers Worcester Sauce flavour, and Orange for the worlds best crisps - Seabrooks Worcester Sauce

I bought these the other day, due to them being reduced in price to £1.45. Mmmm, how does hot honey work/taste I thought?🤔 Heck, they start off quite palatable, but when half way through the bag the hot taste kicks in! 🥵 My head was sweating like billyo! I'll keep them for when I run out of my favourite ready salted/plain, and the cheese & onion Seabrook varieties, but I certainly wouldn't buy anymore!!🙄

If you really don't like them you could advertise them locally:

Hot Honey For Sale - Unopened!

Let us know how you get on...

I must admit, I had thought the traditional colour of Cheese & Onion crisp packets was yellow.

Doing an online search of Cheese & Onion crisps images gives

Green Golden Wonder, Walkers squares, McCoys, M&S, Smiths, KP, Frisps, Rough Cut, Proper
Yellow Pipers, Morrisons, Jones, Nibblers, Seabrook, Greggs, Fairfield Farm, Listers, Kettle, Tayto, Tesco finest, Aldi, Lays, Two Farmers
Blue Walkers, Co-op, Asda, Snackrite, Burts, Tesco normal, Ocado
Other (usually black or not really coloured) Manhattan, Cathedral City, King, Brown Bag, Baron

I have probably missed a few.

I must admit, being simple, i thought it meant Hot as in "warmed up" and not spicy! Would be impressive if they could capture a warmed honey taste in a bag i suppose!

I remember the old walkers green for cheese and onion bags. They weren't foiled in those days either and you could see the quantity inside. Just as well really since if they were see through today, you'd realise you were paying for 90% air content...

There isn't anything 'honey' about them. To me, they are just plain, as in the taste of potatoes and a slight salt taste......and mad hot flavouring. 🥵

Seabrook are very cheap compared to other brands, and taste very good IMO

I saw a "representative" from one of the companies talking about this


Apparently they increase the air content of the bags because it keeps the bag from getting crushed and breaking the crisps

Yeah right!

Reduced to £1.45

I remember the fuss when the price of a bag of crisps went up from 12p to 13p!

I did some research this morning; Morrisons own brand follow the interloping Walkers colour scheme, rather than the traditional Golden Wonder/KP one:
