Walkers crisps "choose or lose"

Omnomnom.

Meh. You can poke your prawn cocktail.

You can't beat a packet of Highlander bacon and broon sauce washed down with a couple of swigs of dandelion and burdock.

Can't beat a canny bag of Tudor

In fact Walkers still make crisps in the original Tudor factory here in the north east.

It's a marketing campaign, honestly. It's not a con, they won't get rid of any popular flavours, it's just marketing. Plain and simple.

It's rigged, they've paired up legendary flavours against this new cack, nobody in their right mind would vote for any of the new stuff. I mean PC is the best flavour ever invented so Paprika is already a lost cause.

Yup. People actually sign up and vote because they really think they will drop Salt & Vinegar? C'mon don't be asinine.

Really think there should be a full internet campaign to **** them up with this BS, and vote the other so strongly that Salt&Vinegar gets ganked. The shareholders would be so happy, the mirth would emanate from the boardroom. ****** up McCrispFace.

Walkers spicy mixups anyone? Now these are awesome. French fries, monster munch, doritos and wotsits in spicy flavour? YES PLEASE!

Smoky bacon
Lime & black pepper (sorry but salt and vinegar is nasty)
Paprika

We always buy mixed packs and guess which ones are always left and end up getting thrown out? it's always salt and vinegar

seems to be multiple getout clauses

23. If one, two or three of the new flavours (Lime & Black Pepper, Bacon & Cheddar or Paprika) win their respective flavour battle, it will be launched into market from January 2018 (approximate timings) as a replacement for the losing flavour. The Promoter reserves the right to alter this date in the event of circumstances beyond its reasonable control.

24. The Winning flavors will be announced via the Promoter’s social media channels within 28 days of the closing date.

25. This Promotion shall not in any way fetter the discretion of the Promoter to make any changes to its product range that it considers desirable at any time, including the discontinuation or the reintroduction of any flavour whatsoever, and in particular the winning flavours shall be subject to range review decisions in accordance with the Promoter’s usual processes along with all other Walkers core flavours. In addition, sales and distribution of the winning flavours is dependent on participation by retailers and cannot be guaranteed by the Promoter.

so if the price of the new ingrediants rises due to brexit ? or Tesco's says they won't sell.

tried lime and black pepper today, absolutely gross!

krooton · 2 Sep 2017 at 20:05

All the new ones bar Paprika are gross, but Paprika isn't good enough to replace prawn cocktail (maybe bacon though).

Sizzling king prawn mccoys > walkers prawn cocktail

Those are classic crisps. The only problem is only about 3 shops in the country sell them.

I prefer the cheese and bacon to the smokey bacon by some margin. I don't expect cheese and bacon to win out over smokey bacon though, of course, and to have "salt and vinigar" on the chopping block is laughable. That'll never happen in my lifetime.

I vote to get rid of salt and vinegar because it's in the wrong colour packet.

Ditch salt a vinegar awful flavor.. Which is odd as I do like salt and vinegar but in crisp form always tastes cack

Why is there a severe lack of tomato flavoured crisps in this country? Tried finding tomato Walkers in all my local supermarkets the other day and nothing. I think Snaps are the only tomato favoured crisps I can find and they are not what I call proper crisps.

I find supermarkets are very communist and only stock things they want you to buy + smaller range means they save on costs without it affecting profit as they know most folk will just buy another flavour.

Sometime you need to hunt around the local back street convenience stores to find the more exotic flavours. Preferably the real indie ones, not the ones who have got into bed with Booker/Premier and the like.

Poundland often have the alternative range of flavours I've noticed. Especially the Brannigans range they have all three of them in my local store.
