    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I knew they should have given Lottie Ryan that radio show.

    Now she's just going to vent her frustrations here:mad:

    Yeah, his name is Mr. Tayto, and he takes complaints very seriously. You should try him.

    Not a hope of getting an appointment with Mr. Tayto, the little roundy bastard is off his head on power!

    Crisps have become a nice bag of Nitrogen with some complimentary crisps thrown in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,693 ✭✭✭Whatsisname


    Tayto are rotten


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    They are helping to save your life OP. Apparently there is more salt in a packet of Tayto than there is in a Dead Sea fisherman's jockstrap.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,345 ✭✭✭landsleaving


    Tayto are for amateurs. Nice bag of Keogh's, that's what you want.

    How can a packet of crisps cost 90c?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,386 ✭✭✭✭rubadub


    Sounds like they might have been split multipacks. I think the acceptable tolerance is wider in mulitpacks, so you might get a 15g bag and a 35g bag when they are all supposed to be 25g, but legally they might not be allowed sell a 15g bag on its own if the pack states 25g. If the overall weight of the mulitpack bag is wrong they might be in trouble.

    Most retail size tayto are large bags, well over 25g, so 15 sounds too little.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,305 ✭✭✭131spanner


    Love a bag of Tayto's, but King Crisps are the job :D can you still buy chip-sticks..?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,028 ✭✭✭✭SEPT 23 1989


    Why would you buy Tayto when King are on the same shelf?:confused:

    Tayto are for amateurs. Nice bag of Keogh's, that's what you want.

    'Hand cooked' crisps are hard and rotten and overly expensive and unnecessary. What does hand cooked actually mean anyway? Most people's hands aren't hot enough to cook anything!

    Tayto are a disgrace, all about Walkers cheese and onion!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,736 ✭✭✭Irish Guitarist


    Tayto have been crap for years. I used to love them but about 25 years ago every packet I bought was full of crisps that were burnt, green or both. After a while I realised that I was never going to get a nice packet of Tayto again so I stopped buying them. I don't know how they've stayed in business.

    How many taytos does a bag of taytos hold if a bag of taytos hardly held any taytos?

    15 apparently.

    As with most things - I prefer to just make my own - so I am not buying over priced under weight over processed crap.

    Slap a few potatoes through one of these:

    http://www.dudeiwantthat.com/household/kitchen/potato-chip-cutter-7605.jpg

    Fry up.

    Apply flavorings of choice liberally (salt - vinegar - paprika - gratted parmasean - garlic powder - and the like go on mine).

    Nom at will.

    All that said - if I am purchasing crisps I am more of a Hunky Dory or Tyrells man - than tayto or king.

    This doesn't answer the question. Why would somebody choose Tayto over King? Same factory or not, King are far better tasting.

    Lads, lads, lads, can you not see?

    Everything tastes ****e now because they took all the "bad" stuff out.

    The day chips weren't cooked in lard anymore was a terrible day!

    And now their saying that it's sugar and not fat that's bad.

    I mean, duh!!?? Who puts sugar on their chips??

    EU ba$tards:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,473 ✭✭✭✭Super-Rush


    Sea salt and Balsamic Vinegar Kettle Chips is what you want.

    Yes, but they're rank. There was a time when they were so acidic your eyes would water when you opened the bag. Now they're bland and insipid. :(

    King crisps cheese & onion are the nicest and a lot fresher. Sprinkle some sarsons vinegar over them and they taste even nicer :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 80 ✭✭phenomenalcat


    Back on topic , this happened to me one morning when I was in a stinking humour I bought a pack in the canteen and it was dangerously underweight , it wouldnt have gotten a kick in a stampede.
    I wrote a letter and sent the pack back and I ended up getting a letter back with genuine tayto letterhead explaining the whole system , an apology was given and I got a snazzy five euro dunnes voucher . Il try dig out the letter later
