Hi,

The last few bags of Walkers plain crisps we have munched our way through seem to be lacking depth to their crunch/crispy attribute.
They have some initial crunch resistance but it seems less than they used to have, noticed by several chompers in the house.

Just wondering if anyone else had noticed it?
If it is real, perhaps they have marginally reduced the cooking time or temperature to save on energy costs or something similar?
 
When I worked there, there was a huge variance in potatoes used which had a big impact on the product.

The walkers lights (which are now scrapped) and baked, had the best potatoes consistently. The full fat crisps only got the best one's when they were the only one's available, otherwise one's that didnt produce as good crisps, the quality could be so bad they had to adjust the kromasort so it wouldnt reject the bad but not the worst crisps.

Other factors as well, but the potatoes were a huge one.

Because of this knowledge back when I used to still buy crisps I always brought the lights instead of full fat.

sometimes its age of them sometimes might be a little whole in packaging. i noticed on walkers max strong other day they were not as hot or as good as normal compared to normal ones.
 
Best crisps I've tasted are Pipers. Crisps aren't see through, all big sizes and thickness not tiny rubbish or scraps, and they are full of flavour every time. Never had a bad batch yet. Walkers in comparison are just trash.
