Cheese & Onion and Salt & Vinegar

[furie]

Yeah, yeah, alright! The wikipedia article has been completely rewritten since I read it (although they claim Irish company Tayto came up with Cheese & Onion flavour - in yellow/orange bags)

It took me years to rewrite history to make it so

Gazza, FFS! Pink is, obviously, Prawn Cocktail. Even Walkers agree on that front!

Do you still eat your first born over there?

 

[Gazza]

Prawn cocktail isn't available here from any brand.

For what it's worth, Red is taken up by Sweet Chilli & Sour Cream, Orange is BBQ, and Brown is Honey Soy Chicken, across all brands.

French supermarkets are full of Lays "Bolognese" flavour crisps - and just to confuse things the packaging is red and green!

A few years ago, I would definitely have said green for S&V and blue for C&O, although now I'm not sure. Even Walkers sometimes does the colours the other round around...

Either way, I've messed up enough times to make sure I check the labels every time.

Square Crisps are those colours because Walkers inherited the brand from Smiths, who did things properly.

Does no one else see the irony of a topic about colours being started by a colour-blind man?

 

[Hixee]

I always think he's just pleading for help.

 

[furie]

But Kim isn't colour blind is he?

 

[kimahri]

Only according to my secondary school.

 

[furie]

I also suspect there's very little ironic about the fat man knowing the most about the history of crisp production in the UK either

 

[Nic]

Bugger, I'd just assumed that as it was a daft ranty topic it must've been started by you Phil

Why would anybody choose to ruin a perfectly good salted potato chip by adding vinegar to it? That's just cruel!

That being said, I'd have it in a light-green package. With warning labels.

Cheese = yellow
Onion = white
Decent colour scheme for pack of chips = go figure. Not that it would matter much, as the warning label alerting potential customers to that absolutely vile taste ideally should be larger than the pack itself.

Blue for muthafloppin Salt.
Green for Muthaflippin Cheese!

Salt n' Vinegar- Dark greeny/blue
Dill Pickle (clearly the best)- Green
Cheese and Onion- Orange

To be fair though Poke, one of your national delicacies involves burying a fish to rot in its own juices for months before consumption - so I suspect adding a bit of vinegar to a crisp really isn't much more than a drop in taste ocean comparatively

Yeah, you're not doing your milk-in-a-bag country any favours there Tay

Don't forget the Fish and caustic soda mix in all of it's eye blinding taste explosion. At least it's not iceland.
