Members SuperBacon Posted March 5, 2021 Members Posted March 5, 2021 Yeah I only bought them as my 7yo suckered me in to getting them because of the gimmick, but shes asleep now and 90% of the bag has just gone in my gob in 2/3 minutes. Quite cheesy, good coating, nice bit of dust at the bottom, but most importantly, incredibly pourable due to the shape of them. Quid in Morrisons at the moment. 8.5/10 They also had them new Peri Peri Walkers but they're £1.75 and that ain't happening. Quote
Jonny Vegas Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Those cheese football Cheetos are awful. Got a bag a month or so ago, ate about 10 and binned them. Beyond bland, the worst form of Cheetos I've ever encountered. Quote

Who in the Heatons has a day to spare trekking all that way and back? If you really felt like slumming it there's always that B&M on the way up to Portwood Tesco. Quote

They were new and on the shelf at Tesco so i had to pick them up. The sea salt is almost non-existant and the rosemary taste just isnt right on a crisp. Just a really strange combination that doesn't work. I ate a few handfuls and binned them, rubbish. Quote
Paid Members Carbomb Posted March 8, 2021 Paid Members Posted March 8, 2021 I had some Limited Edition Lamb & Rosemary flavour ones a few years ago, can't remember the brand - they were nice, as they had a good balance of meaty and herby tastes. Quote
Jonny Vegas Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 It takes a special level of shite for something so easy to get right and versatile as crisps to be so unappealing they're binned. Quote

Brannigans? I wish Pringles would bring back the Olive Oil and Rosemary flavour. I tried the regular KFC crisps today. I think the flavouring (ie: the coating) is about right, but it's not applied heavily enough and so the potato dilutes and slightly sweetens the falvour. It needs a good McCoy's level covering. Quote

No, I want to say something like Piper's, Seabrooks or Red Sky, but I really can't remember. Was definitely one of the arty-farty brands. Being a complete magpie drawn to the next shiny thing, I'm always up for trying weird new flavours. Quote
deathrey Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Since when is Seabrooks arty-farty?! Its your bogstandard cornershop crisp. Quote

Paid Members Dead Mike Posted March 9, 2021 Paid Members Posted March 9, 2021 I still don't think this makes them 'arty farty'. They're not going to be served in rural gastro pubs or at dinner parties any time soon. Seabrooks are definitely expanding from lunchbox crisps to big bag, night time eating though. They're targeting a different market is all, 'upwardly mobile scumbags'...just like me. Quote
Paid Members Murtz Posted March 9, 2021 Paid Members Posted March 9, 2021 Aldi have started doing Tangy Toms. With 50p to spend, they were my absolute go to at the school summer tuck shop along with a Calypso drink. I've stocked up and don't think I've felt this made up over crisps before. Quote
RedRooster Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 If you like spicy American crisps that likely contain all sorts of ingredients that shouldn't enter your stomach, ifoodsUK is a great place to visit. And on that note, Buffalo Ranch Pringles might be the nicest crisp I've ever tasted, I can't get enough of them. They are outstandingly good, and will be one of the main reasons for any lockdown weight I've put on. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted March 9, 2021 Members Posted March 9, 2021 Tried these the other day and thought they were crap. Another example of 'extra hot' crisps having no real flavour apart from the heat. No taste of cheese or chilli, just an unidentifiable spice. 2/10 Quote

They're milder as far as the spice goes, but the slight kick you get from it gives the taste a real lift. However, I enjoyed the cheese & chilli flavour well enough, so maybe don't take what I'm saying as gospel... Quote
