alleepally

Only 20c a pack now boys n girls. 50 years old is our man Tayto. . Original Irish crisp. Don't be buying them foreign imports!!!! no excuses now....

Creamy Goodness

never like tayto since the new taste came in.

it's hunky doreys for me now

Genghis

mmmm, I wonder is it for the occassion of the 50th anniversary, or the fact that their near 50 years of market domination is under threat by the Walkers 20c special offer running at the moment.

Competition, you gotta love it.

You all got it wrong.

I recently tried the new Perri Lights range.

"Mature dublin cheddar & Red Onion flavour"

Man, there the nicest crisps i think i ever had!!!

LizardKing

Don't buy walkers crisps ...
Tayto are struggling big time with the competition from them

King Crisps are nicest IMO

Is Tayto owned by the same people that make Walkers now? I heard that somwhere.
I remember when ya used to find green messed up crisps in yur tayto bags, I really miss those days

Perri actually got the flavor right??!!
That is a suprise, and worth futher investigation:ninja:

King do indeed do damn fine crisps:)

Walkers are way nicer. I buy a 24 pack in tesco for 3.99!
And their gluten free, for anybody interested.

I don't like taytos because they're green. Walkers Prawn Cocktail are teh w1n!

oneweb

Tayto 'crips', yeah I think the greeny bits made me never like them that much. 'Bout feckin time the prices got back to reasonable, if even for just a short time! Only crisps I really like are/were the crinkley cut ones.

Haha, in my usual researching-before-I-post I found you can actually order Tayto crisps online

Have Tayto crisps delivered to your door! Why not send your friends or relatives a present they will remember?

Wowee, THAT'S a pressie I'd never forget for sure! :rolleyes: Here ya go, happy event - here's a few packigis o' crips for ye. Don't eat dem all in de one go!

Dr. Loon

Walkers are the "fakest" tasting crisps going. They're givin them out free at Tara St DART station. They must not be doin so well!?

magpie

I can't believe you can order tayto online... ten pounds sterling plus four pounds p&p for a box of 40 packs....

If only they had a wishlist section like amazon

ando

Salt & Vinegar Tayto.. always loved them, and since the new metalic bags were brought out, their even better IMO. Nathing else for me

Genghis

Thats for Tayto NI, oneweb, a completely different company, product and taste, and nothing at all to do with ROI Tayto.

Heres the link you want - http://tayto.4gifts.ie/

Don't know if anyone saw the Money Programme on BBC2 earlier in the week. Was about the rivalry between Golden Wonder and Walkers. Basically, Golden Wonder are on their knees because of Walker and their marketing methods and they are trying to fight back with a relaunch.

I'd hate to see a good Irish product go to the wall because of the tactics Walkers use to get market share.

Someone should start a Save Our Tayto campaign!

Maybe I will :-)

Thraktor

Have you people never heard of Perri Pan Fried cheese and onion? Quite expensive, but holy jesus, they're good. Now if only my local newsagent would start stocking them again...

krattapopov

Tayto cheese and onion rule all

i was living in american for last summer and my mate brought over some, god was i greatful

zAbbo

Nothing to do with it being LENT, and walkers 20c crisps on the go.

Perri "Pr0n and Cocktail" winnars

Not all shops seem to be selling teh 20c Tayto, or the 20c Walkers. Why is this? Is it older stock?

Anyway, King are indeed the best crisps. Back in the day, I used to love Farmer Browns Worcester Sauce flavour, and their Loops. Dunno what happened the company though. :dunno:

Ah, thx for the heads up On tayto.ie 404ing I tried com - thought they'd rebranded or summat and were aiming for the UK market.

Could it be that they're buying them in at the special trade price but keeping the same price to make more money? Perrys the thought! Maybe, I dunno. Not all shops are that greedy.

PS, I know there are a few boards members who have cash n' carry accounts - are the site prices making a lot of/much profit over cnc prices?

Tivoli

would you not just buy a chocolate bar, much nicer then any crisps packet and less grease

man , they ruled .. I had completely forgotten about them .... jesus , now I'm gonna start craving them like some demented pregnant woman .... gotta get a fix .. gotta get a fix .... AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH

Actually come to think of it ... I'd love a packet of Alien Spacers too ... the original triangle shaped ones ... MMMMMMM Alien Spacers

griffdaddy

bikers are the nicest crisp going, they may not follow a traditional format but nothing is spicier or tastier! they kinda make your nose sweat though

zAbbo

Anyone remember the A - Team crisps, think they were 5p, small packets, nyom

On a side note, Barneys Bacon Flavour ones are nice, and Monster Munch

LoL.....the A-Team ones were 'faces lips'.
Also, Monster Munch used to be lovely before there changed them. They used to be really dense and powdery, now their really brittle and full of air. :mad:

Tayto are owned by Cantrell and Cochrane- of Club Orange fame.
While it is an Irish company- the majority of the shareholding is in British Mutual funds. Maurice Pratt- the ex-Quinnsworth guy is the CEO.

OMG, what the feck happened Hot Lips? They used to be a huge chunk of a thing, now they're hardly visible ffs!

honru

I like Doritos myself (so Walkers then). You can probably tell that I have no nostalgic memories of those economic crisps.

Creamy Goodness

can u still get hot lips by perris?


they were/are so nice

ABout 7 years ago the owners of Tayto called all their staff together and said that Tayto was the number 1 crisp in Ireland because of them , the staff. The owners proceeded to give away all or a lot of the accumulated wealth from the company to all the staff - the longer they had worked in the company the more money they got. If I remember correctly I think a man who had worked over 35 years got something like £90k. Now that's a nice story. Eat Tayto.

loyatemu

Now that's a nice story

certainly is but it sounds like an urban myth
any source for this?

I've totally gone off cheese & onion so gonna throw my weight behind Walkers Ready Salted - ingredients - potatoes, oil, salt. No MSG unlike virtually every other crisp on the market.

LizardKing

*NEW* King Lites ... all the flavour with 40 % lower fat .. (Guaranteed Irish too)

Kold

Walkers pickled onion monster munch. NYOM

rymus

Good old Tayto cheese & onion or walkers ready salted. Most commonly walkers though, since I won a fiver in a packet of ready salted a few months ago

kmart6

At the moment it's Walkers for me as there the one's that are being sold in the shop near my school.Like both the same Tayto leave me needing a drink though

Tazz T

Just looking at that NI site and you can buy prawn cocktail and pickled onion Taytos. I haven't seen them in ages in Dublin. I want pickled onion.

When I was in London there was a make of Irish crisp (made in Leicester:rolleyes: ) called O'Flaherty's or some stupid made up Irish name. They used to sell them in all the Benji's and they were absolutely gorgeous. They came in Ulster Cheddar, County Kerry Salt & Pepper, County Connemara chicken and so on. Silly names, great crisps.
