    Cheese and onion - taytos are still best i think
    Salt and vinegar - has to be discos :)
    Smokey bacon - Sam Spudz crinkle cut
    Pringles are horrible!!!

    Some times you get a wonderful bag of Tayto.
    No such thing, surely you must mean King?

    Lidl Sour Cream and Onion crisps ftw. The big blue bag.

    Sour Cream and onion = Jizz

    And how exactly do you know that this is an accurate comparision?

    Roast turkey are nice. I think they put additional crack on them.

    I accidentally the whole tube of Prawn Cocktail flavoured Pringles two days ago. Although, they taste nothing like prawns.

    Hot Lips/Wheelies ftw

    'Original' flavour pringles are nasty. Anyone who offers them to me gets a swift kick in the arse for being so boring with their flavour choices.

    I have agreed with everybody in this thread!! A record! OPen the Champagne!!



    Edit: put the Champagne on hold. I didnt agree with the anti-pringles guy.

    Someday the dream will come true.

    and chipsticks. Walshb was not thanked enough.

    Sometimes chipsticks are like salt and salt and salt and bits of melty potato goodness ( the heart it doth protest, but we ignoreth!), and sometimes its like eating a few branches that fell in the forest.

    fix that ChipStick people. Fix it good.

    How did they even survive the original flavour? Thankfully I started with the sour cream and onion goodness, so I put it down to the flavour not the crisps themselves?

    I love any crisp that makes the inside of my mouth numb... so salt and vinegar mccoys... hunky dorys, discos and banshee bones!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,836 ✭✭✭TanG411


    Thinking of salt and vinegar makes me salivate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,324 ✭✭✭Alter-Ego


    Once you get half way down a tube of sour cream and onion Pringles they start to taste like grease.

    Chilli Heatwave Doritos FTW.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,813 ✭✭✭TPD


    Salt and Vinegar Discos when they had those wee extra-salty-vinegary flavour sachets that you could add if you were badass. Mmmm.

    I don't think they're around the republic, but spicy flavour Transform-a-Snack are fcuking delicious.

    I love sour cream and onion Pringles!! :)

    chickatees are gone to crap lately. which is devastating. all the flavour seems to be on one and they're not as melty as they were.

    Agreed, I've gone po-faced trying to melt them recently.

    I would quite happily live on crisps - once in college I only had £1 for dinner so I bought 10 bags of hot lips. :o

    Pringles are evil, but on the rare occasion that I do go to the darkside, I only like the sour cream ones - then I eat an entire tube and feel sick. I love Walkers Thai Sweet Chilli, Tayto Ripples in Sour Cream & Onion, and Hunky Dory Worcester Sauce but they're really hard to find. And I can't believe that nobody's mentioned the tooth-picking-fest that's Johnny Onion Rings. Yummy...

    I find them pretty much consistent, i.e. crap

    I honestly don't know. Maybe they just trying out new ingredients? Some occassions they brand and advertise it better like for Christmas. Not sure if the taste and selection of flavours are innconsistent haven't notice cause I don't always buy pringles. They are tastey and adictive not matter what flavour you buy! Sour cream and onion and the cheese flavoured ones are my favourite, I like most of the flavours except the salt and vinegar. :pac: (thats suppose to look like a pringle with a bite lol!)

    No no noooo. I can only eat a handful of these before I start to feel pukey. The sour cream flavour is nice enough, but they've a buttery twang to them too, bit sickening imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,468 ✭✭✭FGR


    Anyone remember Tayto Gators? The smokey bacon flavour was overwhelming in them!

    I also liked the rippled Pringles that came in a dark blue tube. Shame they're gone too!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,674 ✭✭✭Dangerous Man


    King are the most inconsistent crisp. When they're bad they're as good as many crisps but when they're good, they shit all over every other crisp out there. They beat the crap out of Tayto, smash anything by Walkers - and pretty much rape every other brand. King FTW - when done right.

    Pringles are nice though.

    hate when you get the one with all the flavouring without noticing - tastes rotten

    also never try them with chewing gum, the gum breaks up and sticks to your teeth...not nice although i wonder why i ever thought it could be.


    these are the best of the easily got ones imo

    Cheese and onion - King Chrisps
    Smokey Bacon - Sam Spudz
    Salt and vinegar - Pringles/Tayto
    Prawn Cocktail - skips

    Old Monster munches before they changed the falvour
    Chickatees
    Chip sticks
    Cheese bites - Tesco, supervalue etc
    Dorreto Tangy cheese
    Rancheros

    So glad I read to the end of the post before going berserk. Rancheros are a superb snack, and no other smokey bacon product comes close.

    Finally. Someone whose existence is as mundane and pointless as mine.

    Nobody's mentioned cruncho's yet?? Greatest.crisps.ever

    Not a huge pringles fan. Much rather a packet of Tayto S&V or King C&O :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    Pringles are in fact biscuity cake.

    Not made from potato. :eek:

    That's pretty off putting though tbh.
