Question

Sitting here eating a packet of Walkers and I have to say they are rank, too salty, too greasy, not as crunchy, how did they ever come to out sell Golden Wonder, there is no comparison on any of the flavours especially when it comes to Cheese and Onion. Now its bloody hard to find GW anywhere. Bloody Linekar has a lot to answer for

Sorry mate but I am in total disagreement with you and can only think you got a dud bag.

Walkers cheese and onion crisps are the way forward with the tomato ketchup jobs running a very close second.

Cheers

I just think of what I'm doing to my heart when I open a packet of walkers. The things are evil!

Has to be Golden Wonder every time

Used to love golden wonder in my youth but they now lack the flavour of old

So my vote is with Walkers

Golden Wonder - cos they make Nice and Spicy Nik Naks!

LMAO @ Jack

What about the Red Mill cheapo snacks from garages then ? I am sure they must have never eaten onions if their onion rings taste like that.

This one's for GW.

It's a bit like the VHS v. Beta thing, where marketing wins over quality, sadly. IMHO.

Either he's a fisherman or his strides keep falling down

True about the preservatives in Walkers too.
