    Personally i think Tayto crisps are overrated and King crisps have yet to make a full bag but the question begs whats Irelands No 1 choice...Now its late at night and i dont want to be starting world war 3 over a bag of crisps but simple really Tayto or King?

    King - especially for the crip sambo.

    Are the Pub crisps in the black bag still available?

    Hunky Dorey's buffalo flavour or Walkers Thai sweet chilli...

    out of this poll, king all the way. Tayto are for the bland boring eaters.

    I go through stages. Ive been recently on a Tayto phase but had a King last night and remembered how scrumptious they are. I think they are both Irelands greatest achievements.

    Traditionally King sells more in Dublin while Tayto sells more in the rest of the country. King for me.

    Gotta say the lack of Hunky Dory's on the poll disappointed me, I voted King though. Tayto do however have the advantage of folk calling crisps "a package of Taytos"

    King for the chrisp sandwich.
    Tayto for Christmas.

    Pringles are nowhere near either.

    Used to work for Tayto, who owned and manufactured King too.
    When the trucks came from Coolock were they were made we would open a box and the crisps would still be warm.....Drool...
    I was a large man then....

    You know I would have agreed but about two years ago I stopped eating King because I found they were getting as greasy as Tayto.

    Did you or anyone else encounter that and if so has it changed since?

    Walkers are much nicer.

    If I had to choose between the two, I'd go for King over Tayto.

    Tayto are much too salty.

    Certain places over here you can get Tayto but it's the NI version. It has the exact same recipe and very similar packaging but it's not up to the original. IMHO. Maybe that's a psychological thing on my part...

    Nothing like a 6 pack of King at 3am after coming home from a night out!
    You do pay for it in the morning though, guess what they say about too much of a good thing is true!
