    Alright folks

    Apologies if this topic has been done to death but I have to know if Northern and Southern Tayto are owned by the same company? Too much of a coincidence, same name and same logo.

    Think you're going to get away with a statement like that because it's Sunday morning, and Christmas Eve?

    That's Fake News. It's like people saying Messi and Ronaldo are equally as good because they both have the same number of Ballon D'Or's won.
    There's only one goddamn king and in this case, King is not the King, Tayto is the King.

    Would you respect a ruler of a country if they were called ‘Charles, Tayto of Great Britain and Northern Ireland’?

    Of course you wouldn't and by that very fact alone proves that King are best!!

    They are called King for a reason, they are the King of crips!

    This is a marketing ploy based on the premise of fake it until you make it. Hence it is as false as the diamonds sold on late night shopping TV to people with access to a phone and a credit card.

    There is but one King and yea, for his name is Tayto.

    The movie "Into the West" nailed it...tayto tastes like a traveller on a piebald

    If you’re going for Cheese & Onion, then Tayto are nicer. If you’re going for Salt & Vinegar, then King are better.

    What wanker at Walker’s decided to switch the conventional colours for the flavours that everyone’s used to. Nothing is worse than picking up a blue packet expecting salt and vinegar but actually getting cheese and onion.

    Having spent many years in London, I have an apreciation for walkers. This has left me with the sensation that taytos have too strong taste. I do however like the odd bag.

    Saying that, I was given a present recently of a box of taytos bags. The crisp in the packets in the box were of a much lower standard (both taste and texture wise) than the six pack plastic bags, which are again a lower standard that the individual bags sold in shops.

    Why do they do that I wonder.

    See, those that think one is the best, are the type to think the other is also.

    You're wrong, but you're consistent. And you've proved my point.

    Thanks.

    Pity I can't find a picture of Ronaldo eating a bag of King.

    Can we at least find common ground and agree that walkers are stink?
    It's Christmas after all

    (You are still wrong)

    Why is it that no-one does ready salted without the salt in this country?

    Have to stock up in Tesco whenever I'm in the UK

    In fact, that's just reminded me. I'm due my Christmas treat so will go and grab a bag now (have to lock them away from the rest of the family)

    I'm no expert in these matters, so I'm gonna go with whichever one has the most roller-coasters.
