Snack Findings




I was really looking forward to these.
"Monster Munch flavoured regular crisps! Excite!!"

But, no.
They're "flamin' hot", don't get me wrong. They have a kick. It's a nice kick.
But they're not Monster Munch Flamin' Hot flavoured.
In fact they barely have much of a flavour, and are just that boring "spice for the sake of spice" thing.

Damnit.
I was really looking forward to these...

Rating : 2/5 .. spicy, but not nicey..

TBH the Monster Munch snack doesn't have half as much flavour or kick as when they first came out.

I always put that down to the Golden Wonder -> Walkers switch.

Walkers logo looks a lot like Lay's chips, in the US. Probably the same parent company.

I also tried these a while back, Jay. Super disappointing

Pro, you're correct! Both brands are owned by Frito-Lays

Walkers/Lays chips/crisps and snacks are a global thing - not just UK/US.

Most of the world uses Lays. UK only really retained the Walkers name because everyone was so familiar with it, much like how there are still a few Smiths products flailing around, even though Walkers nabbed them yonks ago. (I think Frazzles are still Smiths, though Salt'&'Shake have recently been rebranded as Walkers)

The big giant PepsiCo bought both Walkers and Lays, decades ago, and smushed various bits of the two logos together to make the current one somewhat familiar in both territories.

I found them Walkers "Sensations" crisps pretty bland... Like, I'd imagine there's more flavour in sliced bath sponges!

My firm crisps top 5 are:-

1) Smoky Bacon Walkers (Love'em in a crisp sandwich)
2) ANY space invader crisps
3) Salt & vinegar squares
4) Chipsticks (Salted or S&V)
5) Beefy Seabrook

When I was little rascal back in the day, I loved pickled onion Meanies... Remember them? Little green bags, I think they still sell them in Ireland, but never seen them in the UK for yeaaarrrrrrsssssss... Ohhhhhh, I would just love to rattle a packet of them in now since I've thought about them! lol

My old cat Munchie used to love the Seabrook Canadian Ham crisps, whilst Gabby preferred Cheese & Onion.
Molly doesn't like crisps.
Molly's weird..

My kittens have experienced the joys of crisps. Some they love, others they ignore while some they just crunch up into little pieces!
