S&V Discos.

There was a few years when they became a shadow of their former selves, however recently they're back to mouth melting magnificence!

2nd choice Nice'n Spicey NikNaks

3rd are S&V Hula Hoops.

Varies, I like a change.

Morrisons have one at the moment Nduja, ridged. The other week Lidl had Gazpacho flavoured during Spanish week. They were excellent!

Not a huge crisp eater and lately only bought them if they're in a meal deal. But if I must - Walkers Ready Salted or Hula Hoops and I quite like Pringles, Sour Cream and Chives or Salted.

As a kid I loved Seabrooks cheese and onion, made in Bradford.
Then Walker's cheese n onion became my fave.
We have a great cheese n onion over here, superior to both above...

Have a (virtual) wander around the Museum of Crisps and (golden) wonder at the things people do with their time. :)

The Snack academy 2020 awards for Best Exotic Crisp Flavour make interesting reading. 'Wild Duck and Plum Sauce' anyone? :lol:

I love a crisp.

I also reckon there only actually 3 or 4 flavours and the rest is marketing :D

Pom Bear S&V is betterer, but they're pretty rare, IIRC only CHAVSDA stock them.

Load of my wife's colleagues were only aware of Lineker as "the crisp guy" :D

Smokey Beckham kinda works, Cheesy Owen was a stretch too far IMO.

HTF can you hand cook a crisp? Are the vats of boiling oil hand shaped?

I remember them in Sainsburys, top stuff.

IKEA used to do Dill flavoured ones, probably my favourite crisps ever. I was clearly the only person who felt that way cause they stopped selling them.

I would think they use the kettle method rather than a conveyor belt that regular crisps use
Makes no never mind to me I just prefer them to regular kettle type crisps as they're less oily / greasy
