Colour of Crisp Packets

Punchbowl

Can someone tell me why we associate Cheese and Onion with Green and Salt and Vinegar with Blue?.. I was just looking at a Walkers display and noticed how they seem to have it the wrong way round. But why, esp when you consider that King and Tayto are RED for Chessr and Onion...

Speaking of Blue, Mr Tayto is feeling lonely <Here>

smashey

Tayto cheese and onion come in red packets.

justsomebloke

no cheese and onion is red not green

kaimera

I think the OP is a bit confused...walkers are not the standard for crisp packets...tayto are

WindSock

Walkers are minging. Salt n Vinegar might be blue because salt comes from the blue sea, perhaps?

chopperbyrne

It seems to be (excluding Walkers because their crisps are horrid anyway) that Cheese & Onion are red, unless you have a ready salted flavour, then C&O are green and RS are red.

Does anyone actually like Salt & Vinegar crisps? My family can't stand 'em, that's why we never buy those multi-packs as they stick those horrible feckin' crisps in with the other proper flavours.:mad:

prendy

cheese and onion.....red
salt and vinegar.......blue


it was easy until those walkers people came along!

Shadowless

It's very simple. The "main" flavour is red. The next one is blue. And then whatever colours you like after that. So for tayto and king cheese 'n onion is red and salt and vinegar is blue while for walker it's ready salted red and cheese 'n onion blue.

speaking of ready salted, what a useless flavour of crisp. It's like the ideas people said: "Hmmm, what flavour is cheap to produce? How about unflavoured! Genius!!!"

hunky dory's anyone?

I love salt & vinegar. Actually, I pretty much like all the old style flavours, except ready salted. That's not a flavour, it's a by-product! I can't stand all these new flavours. Who the fcuk eats carribbean chutney flavour? Sick freaks!

That might be pushing it a bit. Do you really think that much thought goes into picking a colour?

chopperbyrne

They kind of disprove my rule.

Their Cheese & Onion is green (and also delicious), but I don't think they have a ready salted.

Not even sure if they have a red packet!

Cheese and onion are red.

star-pants

Back when crisps came out they didn't really have a flavour - you used to get a little salt packet (like you would in a fastfood place) with it, and you'd put in as much or as little as you liked. Smiths Salt n Shake or something like that.

Tayto & King - red = C&O, blue = S&V
KP (frisps) - green = C&O, blue = S&V, red = ready salted
Walkers - blue = C&O, green = S&V, red = ready salted
Perri - red = C&O, blue = S&V

S&V ftw as far as I'm concerned.

Well, to me, they're green.. I don't know why.. What colour are Pringles Cheese and Onion?

GhostInTheRuins

Not sure if there are pringles cheese and onion. I know red is 'Original' flavour.

Shadowless

Get out of it!!!
With your British and American conventions.
We had to put up with that for 800 years...
Irish crisps FTW

I would normally tear into Walkers for mixing up their colours... But they released Sensations Thai Sweet Chili, therefore they are exempt...

Both are mank!!!

Well, that will kill the thread nicely!!

I'm sure you'll find many people willing to join the discussion here, Punchbowl. AH isn't the only forum that people post on, you know.

I stand corrected!!! Where do Chipsticks fit into all of this by the way

Chipsticks would fit in to the specialist crisp catergory as they're not crisp shape and are a hybrid potato/corn based snack, or are they all corn now? Basicly they can do what they damn well like because they're awesome.

S&V FTW! Perry pan fried (blue aswell!) used to be the best, so much flavour it would burn your taste buds off, grab a club orange if your feeing particulary machoistic while you eat a packet. mmmmmm. Now they're mainly salt

Ace2007

reading this thread - makes me want to eat crisps - but i don't have any :mad:

Kimbot

Walkers Max S&V were the nicest crisps in the world!!

Anyone know what happened them?

Spunj

Meanies are (Nuclear waste colour from The Simpsons) green and simply rock my world.

I noticed this muddying of the waters from Walkers and shook my head in disdain.

A shower of no-good bástards.

hi there , just read your query, very intresting sumtin i never really though about but , but when i think cheese & onion i do think red and salt n vinegar i think green or blue

emeraldstar

Hmm, no I think of Cheese and Onion + green. Salt and Vinegar, always blue.

Sugar Drunk

Cheese and onion is green although in the case of king and tayto red is acceptable, salt and vingegar is blue damn those walkers people for trying to mess with it. bought a blue bag one day thinking it was S&V and it was full of manky C&O ones grrrr

Punchbowl

Lots of confusion, maybe Mr Tayto can address this on his next advert..

By the way, Pink for Prawn Cocktail yeah?

smashey

Tayto cheese and onion up North is yellow.

olaola

Does anyone get that flood of saliva in their mouth when they think about salt and vinegar crisps??

ESP Chipsticks.

RED is the colour of Cheese and Onion btw.

Walkers are muck, they taste like some weirdo pre-sucked the flavour out of them, dried them on the rad and shoved them back in the pack.

Pringles - don't even get me started.

This is a thread about CRISPS... Get your nomenclature straight! :P

Red is Cheese and Onion
Green is Sour Cream and Onion.

I love anything salt and vinegar except Pringles and Walkers. Walkers S&V are rank.

Stop complicating matters!!! It's confusing enough without you people adding another colour!!!!

Punchbowl

Well, we all agree that salted Popcorn simply comes in Red? right??

Here's the new Tayto ad, throwing Yellow into the mix now too
