villa4europe Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) what you want are these salt & vinegar - they'll take the lining of your mouth off, if you're going for a meal deal and don't take the walkers max then questions should be asked, the paprika ones are awesome (and im not sure why paprika aren't a bigger flavour in the UK, they're everywhere in Europe, they're the main flavour in Germany) Edited June 9, 2020 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else in the bin. Especially Ready Salted. What??? Absolutely upside down! 1. Ready salted (by a mile). Crisps are supposed to taste of potatoes. 2. Cheese and onion. As an occasional guilty pleasure. 3. Everything else, with prawn cocktail and worcester sauce at the absolute bottom. Vile. All the above depends on the manufacturer. The very best are Pipers, followed by Seabrook and (surprisingly) KP. Walkers among the worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I mentioned the investigation to the 1986 assassination of Swedish prime minister Olof Palme a few pages back that is about to be concluded tomorrow. Rumor is they have the murder weapon and maybe DNA. Well this morning another long running murder case has been hitting the news. A double homicide where a 8 y.o boy and a 56 y.o woman were knifed down on their way to school/work on a morning in 2004. The murder left bloody clothes near the scene and the murder weapon was found but despite tons and tons of DNA testing they guy had not been found. Until now. Thank to the same type of testing that helped catch the Golden State Killer the police has now zoned in and arrested a 37 y.o guy who still live in the town it happened. GED-match DNA testing through the family tree led them to him. Genealogy. Pretty fantastic. It's special case to me as it happened in my home town Linköping, only about 300 meters from where I lived at the time and the murderer fled down the same route I walked to work every morning. It's left a huge impact on the cite and pretty much everyone I know my age there (me included) has been to talk with the police and to leave DNA. I really hope they've got the right guy. But with the Palme murder it's busy times for Swedish crime experts this week. And then there is the Maddie McCann guy in Germany as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 From a limited sample size then Walkers Double Crunch are the best crisp on the market at the moment ... usually i dish out the test samples around the office and people sorta eat them and go "meh ,its a crisp so what " ..when we did the Double Crunch product testing and I tried them in the office it was like catnip and I had people following me about asking if I had any more and taking the surplus samples home with them S&V is currently getting a flavour make over for those people that care about this sort of thing , guess it will be a few months before it hits the shelves but it will be interesting to see if people notice the change .

Walkers among the worst. Obviously with most taste things its subjective , Pipers i think are quite nice , Seabrooks are a bit too cheap tasting for me ... Interestingly (or not) I ran a large blind survey last year Pipers actually scored around the level with Tesco and Asda own brands on the blind tasting , even though it wins a few awards in snack circles Walker Crinkles was the winner , Slabs came last by some margin .. was disappointed by that as the Slabs looked great and you really wanted to like them , but they just tasted awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I find Pom Bears a bit too harsh, too physically hard and dry. I always found if I had a few of them they’d start to hurt the roof of my mouth. Which I thought was odd for something aimed at toddlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
