Have Tayto lost their edge ?

Really not that big into them more into the specialist crisps like Doritos. Have they lost there edge? Any other product you can think of like so, Nokia spring to mind with phones.

elfy4eva · 05-04-2013 03:48PM

Not at all! Cant make a Crip sambo with Doritos!

have tayto started making spherical crisps?

ArnoldJRimmer · 05-04-2013 03:52PM

Living abroad the last few years, and the thing I miss most is a decent bag of Tayto cheese and onion. (and proper guinness of course)

Dorito's, Pringles etc are a poor substitute

StupidLikeAFox · 05-04-2013 03:52PM

Are you mad? Tayto have really sharp edges

msg11 · 05-04-2013 03:54PM

Also remember a time everyone had a Dell computer they have lost there edge on the market.

Dose Guinness really taste that different outside Ireland ?

castletownman · 05-04-2013 03:54PM

Being a crisp hipster, I liked Tayto BEFORE Tayto Park

Legs.Eleven · 05-04-2013 03:55PM

Doritos are specialist crisps in your world? You poor plebeian.

Well aren't you Cliste! :pac:

Doritos wouldn't be specialist crisps OP, it's not until you get to thrice the price velvet crunch that you should have a reasonable expectation of an orgasm in a bag.

Nokia are still churning them out in India btw, there's no fear of them dying on their àrse yet!

pablomakaveli · 05-04-2013 03:56PM

They have an imposter Tayto in the UK. Not the same as the real thing.

Tabnabs · 05-04-2013 03:57PM

Snax, WTF did they mess with SNAX.

Kerrydude1981 · 05-04-2013 03:57PM

Still cant beat the Tayto Cheese and Onion

You'd be surprised. I've had some absolutely rotten pints, even in Irish bars. It really does taste so much better in Ireland

I never understood this tayto affection, they're better than walkers alright but they're well down the list of my preferred irish c+o crisps

I used to have a big dirty white (turning yellow) gateway 2000, remember seeing the dell dimension ad's with their pristine high tech looking black casings! I think the colour of them helped sales big time back in the day!

Any Irish person who eats Pringles should have their citizenship revoked.

Here Come The Pretzels · 05-04-2013 03:59PM

The last few packets of Tayto Ive had have actually been very flavoursome,
so if anything, they are are going through a bit of a purple patch imo...
Keep it up!

fussyonion · 05-04-2013 04:00PM

I buy King and Tayto now and again and the one thing I notice is..sometimes you'll get a really great batch of Tayto and other times they'll be meh; too oniony, not cheesy enough, not fresh enough etc.

I think with King they're always nice.
Dorito's are lovely but not on bread!

Regarding Snax, see my post under the Tayto Snax thread in
Snacks&Sweets>Food.

syklops · 05-04-2013 04:01PM

I had a bag of skips for the first time in about 4 years. Not as nice as i remembered.

Doritos should be specialist crisps in any fúckers world. Far from Doritos most of us were reared least we forget it. (Though we are old and kantankerous and some of yee are young tiger like littleuns)

Packet o Tayto and can of Coke and ya were a God...

Now you need to have a tenner to get a jumped up little bollix of a kid anything in a shop.

Humbug.

I agree king is superior in the cheese and onion department, but if its a pack of smokey bacon goin on the sambo it's tayto for me!

Cop onto yourself, Tayto are marvellous

Unfortunately any of their corn based snacks have gone to the dogs in flavour and texture. Yeah Snax taste plasticy now. And the smokey bacon Wheelies are shít too.

They revived their Spring Onion flavour a few years back too and I don't know what happened but someone must have lost the original recipie as the remake was bland as fark.

Still Tayto have in no way lost their edge with their Jesus Onion Crisps, still top notch (not as many packets with the mad damp patch in the corner where the flavour machine went mad and gave you an extra extra dollop, gorgeous).

Fits Morris · 05-04-2013 04:04PM

The Irish salted snack food market is the main reason why anybody who is considering emigration should abandon those plans.

Frankly, it's a disgrace that we are not dominating the world market. We have the finest crisps in the world.

Miss Lockhart · 05-04-2013 04:05PM

I think both Tayto and King are disgusting. They both taste cheap - all thin and flaky the with half of them in powdery crumbs in the bottom of the bag.

Dell are still churning them out too! Though their edge on the market was a very short lived long time ago too. Every company in the PC manufacturing industry is going through a slump, that's why they're redirecting their efforts on providing services rather than manufacturing anything.

Dose Guinness really taste that different outside Ireland ?

The pìsswater they're calling Guinness now varies from pub to pub in Ireland, let alone country to country! :pac:

Gateway 2000, remember the showroom and everything. Had a Packard Bell, worst computer I ever had.

Maybe I was a bit harsh on Tayto , was not really the point of the thread. More of a A use to be the best and B was the ****ty version, now B is the best and A the ****ty version.

Some many products are just not what they used to be, a lot of ice creams have changed big time in both price and size, gone from a small price and large ice cream to a small ice cream and a large price.

Totally agree,they taste sort of bland and stale now.Ruined.
