What have they done to Quavers?

[Brandane]

Today's rant!
Quavers used to be a good bit bigger than they currently are. They also used to be much lighter, and "crunchy and melty" as the blurb on each packet claims.
Maybe the ones I have been buying recently are all from a bad batch, but it's as if they have been over-cooked. Much smaller, and tooth breakingly crunchy. The meltyness has gone too.
Please fix them, Walkers.

Angry of Costa Clyde.

You're sounding rather crotchety but check the packaging - did you buy semiquavers instead?

Shortage of Ukrainian sunflower oil innit.

Was fan of Kettle Chips when it first came out. Ran twice into bad batches in the early years - overcooked and it was really bad.

Gets the blame for a lot of things

I was disappointed in the last lot I had so stopped buying the original ones and now get Tesco’s one version instead.

I believe that the most succulent examples have been reserved by the South East. All the hard brittle quavers have been sent north of the border as we are obviously made from girders and only those with a front row of teeth that look like a fuse box would notice the difference. This would explain why Largs got the strongest batch, even my first girlfriend from Largs had long dark curly teeth.

You might be right, I had a grab bag at lunchtime as part of my Sainsbury’s meal deal and they were tasty and plentiful…purchased in Guildford so very much in the Home Counties

Don't get me started how Walkers crisps have gone to the dogs!

 

[Sharky]

Our local speciality were "Clock face crisps". Anybody remember them?

Factory was in St Helens I believe.

 

[Slick]

Yes. They had salt in blue paper wrappers.

Smiths?

Ours wouldn't touch them, sensible thing

Anyone eating Walkers is absolutely barking. They always get stuck between your canines.

I'll get my coat.
