Aldi Chilli tortilla chips, better than Doritos and at about 45c they're savage value too.

WTF did Lidl to their ones. They used to be OK, now they are vile.

Aldi ones vary a lot. Some batches aren't all that bad and savage value.


Best ever were the Phileas Fogg Devilishly Hot Tortilla Chips.

A good replacement were the Marks and Spencer own brand in a black packet, sadly also defunct.

They're an insipid imitation of themselves now, there was a time they'd burn the inside of your mouth off before certain additives were banned. Same with chipstix, opening a bag of either would have brought tears to your eyes years ago.

I went off Mini-Chips a long time ago because of the above, but I have to speak up for Chipstix - I had 2 bags today which nearly choked me when I got the scent of them, pure bliss.

Hunky Dory's Curry or Wheelies for me at the moment

Roasted ox flavour Real Crisps. Can't find them anywhere anymore

Earthhorse

I cannot believe Doritos are a successful product. Forget Apple; this is the real triumph of marketing over reality. It's basically cardboard shaped like a crisp. Horrible stuff.

Post lockdown Earthhorse has been enjoying a packet of these occasionally with his lunch.



People who think Cheese & Onion is an exciting flavour are also the kind to think that the weather forecast is a soap opera.

Agreed.
Great nosebag Earthhorse!

Lidl gourmet crisps, the ones in the black bags. Sea Salt & cider vinegar, mature cheddar and spring onion and sweet chilli & sour cream. great stuff.

McCoys flame grilled steak.
Thai onion rings.
McDonnells cheese & onion.

All great crisps as well.

I have to say I miss ghosties, snaps and banshee bones, haven't seen them in a while. Burger bites just don't have the same spice to them anymore either.

I also have to say I miss a full bag of crisps. I remember the Perri range (C&O, S&V, SB), the bags used to be nearly busting with crisps (and for a while they had a chance of winning 20 quid), these days you're lucky if you get a packet of crisps with enough in them to make a crisp sandwich.

Fuck off with the Doritos you spiteful pricks.

Well said, T. Spot on.

Especially that blue “cool” flavour one. Had to stop eating them altogether.

Really not good for the auld “digestion”. Found I was getting, severely, dehydrated after a bag of them and this, then, lead to a gritty, dry, sharp and scratchy “stool” that was not pleasant to pass. Not pleasant at all.

Walkers Thai Sweet Chilli Sensations - I can't actually buy them anymore due to a serious addiction. I literally cant get enough of them and it got to the point where I was angry if I didnt have a pack a day. I'm now allowed a pack on my birthday

I'm loving Cali crisps at the moment, the chipotle and the sweet chilli ones are delicious! Nutritional value is really decent too compared to other crisps, made from chickpea flour and are gluten free but the flavour of them are whopper and they are nice and crunchy too.

Used to love bikers as a kid Tried a pack a couple of years back....just not the same!

Probably Salt and Vinegar Pringles or Doritos Chili Heatwave.

Just ate a full 150G bag of Doritos Flamin Hot Tangy Cheese....jesus they aren't joking about the flaming hot, I was sweating afterwards.

Best crips ever forgot about them, bit like meself, small package but tasty

McCoys Salt & Vinegar a very enjoyable crunch!

Aglomerado

O'Donnell's cheese and onion or Ballymaloe relish flavour.😊

DanielODonnell

I enjoy Walkers oven baked cheese and onion Crisps, they are very crunchy and the 6 pack can be quickly swallowed. I hafe fancy Crisps in those pretentious flavours, the type that feminists would buy, they give me a sore stomach, "caramelised cheddar and red wine flavour", carry on like that.

Jonnie Onion Rings are lovely, blue bag.
Discos Salt & Vinegar from years ago would nearly take the skin off the roof off your mouth, but I loved them!

2Mad2BeMad

Bikers spicy flavour
Never see them sold anymore think there a classic crisp now that you can only order online.
Use to love them growing up

It must be an awful existence if your favourite flavour of crisp is “cheese and onion”.

What a dull, and miserable, taste to consider a favourite. Sad really.

Pot, meet kettle.

In all this confusion, people seem to forget that Joe 'Spud' Murphy invented Cheese and Onion flavouring of crisps in 1954-55 and to this day nothing has bettered it, and away with you with yer corn shíte and so on, crisps are made of potato, anything not made of potato is pure shíte

Picked up a 6 pack of Monster Claws from Aldi during my weekly shop. I wasn't expecting much, and I wasn't disappointed in having that opinion.

Monster Munch have gone to hell over the years, but these were the next level of awfulness. Insipid is the best word I could use to describe them.

Is it safe to feed 5 packets of Monster Claws to ducks?

They get crisper as they get stale.

That was a key argument in a major court case to get them put on a lower VAT rate.

The Dunnes Stores Simply Better salt and vinegar are amazing. Salt and vinegar Discos were great too.
I wouldn't say no to Wheelies or Bacon Fries either.
