Title: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: Jim@Chocolatemission on January 24, 2009, 10:51:06 pm: Anyone tried the 6 news flavours out yet?

Snackspot have report they are now in the shops!! See HERE (http://snackspot.org.uk/)

Cajun Squirrel intrigues me ???

Post by: netbuddy on January 25, 2009, 03:59:16 am: Hmmm, wonders if they would do a Friday Night / Saturday morning variety.

Taste like beer to start with, the more packets you have the more plastered you get and the last packet on the way home tastes like a donna kebab. If your lucky and manage to get home and no incidents like the technocolour yawn... you are hit by the authentic & distinct flavours of "Badgers Asshole Syndrome" where your mouths all dry, furry and tastes like somethings taken a dump in it...

Post by: Jim@Chocolatemission on February 12, 2009, 11:04:43 pm: I reviewed the chocolate & chilli on my site today! They got a 6.5!! Not particularly impressed!
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: paulham on February 13, 2009, 07:31:04 pm: The bhaji and f&c I have tried. The bhaji one trumps by far.
I did find far nicer crisps on my holidays, however...

Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: loulou on February 14, 2009, 07:28:24 pm: I had marmite crisps yesterday.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: drterror666 on February 16, 2009, 12:36:37 pm: Do they do a 'Rancid corpse roasting in its own juices in a nuclear furnace' flavour? Probably tastes like Roast Beef or something...
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: lorri on February 18, 2009, 07:34:34 pm: I have tried them all now, and have to say i don`t really like any off them lol,the fish and chip ones just tasted like shiphams salmon paste,and the chilli & chocolate just burned without tasting of anything.The only ones i might buy again would be the onion ones,but even thats unlikley.The marmite ones however i love ;D
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: paulham on February 18, 2009, 08:04:14 pm: The chilli choc ones are naff. The breakfast ones nothing much of anything.
Onion bhaji it is for me.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: loulou on March 06, 2009, 04:10:39 pm: I've just finished a bag of onion bhaji (very nice) and there's a bag of builders breakfast on my desk that i don't think i can face opening.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: wjp666 on March 06, 2009, 04:51:38 pm: my diet forbids me from trying any of these, but the kids swear by the builders breakfast ones. seriously - they're transfixed by 'em.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: loulou on March 06, 2009, 07:56:10 pm: I will try my builders breakfast tomorrow.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: Jim@Chocolatemission on March 06, 2009, 08:32:23 pm: Had all the flavours now .... no point picking a winner as none are amazing enough to stick around!
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: goldencup on March 07, 2009, 08:29:30 am: I've now tried the Fish & Chips (not bad) and the Duck and Hoisin Sauce which I thought were nice.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: Jim@Chocolatemission on March 08, 2009, 11:46:19 pm: Paulham come on deliver the goods and find me these Marmite crisps!!
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour

Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: loulou on March 09, 2009, 06:53:08 pm: I've voted online for the onion bhaji to win.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: loulou on March 23, 2009, 10:16:08 pm: Just had the chilli and choc ones and couldn't eat more than 3. The smell and taste make me feel ill.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: paulham on March 23, 2009, 10:22:18 pm: You should have stopped after 1 packet.
I saw the marmite ones in Sainsburys yesterday.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: wjp666 on March 23, 2009, 11:17:53 pm: i finally got round to trying a couple of the new flavours the other day. i liked the bhaji ones, they were pretty sweet. but the chilli and choc ones almost made me vomit - they were that bad. i know they were only created as some kind of 'originality' joke, but christ, they were vulgar!
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: loulou on March 24, 2009, 09:03:53 am: The chilli and choc have to be up in my top 5 of worst foods.
Imagine sitting in a pub and someone offering them around to have with your drink.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: loulou on May 08, 2009, 03:51:09 pm: I am amazed that the builders breakfast won and my fave onion bhaji was second. Not at all surprised that the chilli and choc came last.

Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: loulou on May 08, 2009, 11:05:50 pm: Someone will do a survey and it will show 95% of builders eat muesli and yogurt for breakfast and not a fry. Then where will Walkers be with their builders breakfast.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: paulham on May 09, 2009, 10:39:47 am: The second part of your signature is correct.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: loulou on May 09, 2009, 11:13:47 am: All my signature is correct!
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: paulham on May 09, 2009, 04:54:35 pm: No, no. I wouldn't say you were power crazy.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: loulou on May 09, 2009, 06:07:03 pm: Cheers.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: goldencup on May 10, 2009, 08:41:33 am: Perhaps you should just take out the word 'power' then?
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: loulou on May 10, 2009, 01:58:20 pm: Anyway what does anyone else think of the builders breakfast winning?
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: paulham on May 10, 2009, 02:31:13 pm: Bhajards!
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: loulou on May 10, 2009, 03:24:11 pm: I want bhaji to win too.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: paulham on May 10, 2009, 07:48:16 pm: It was the most realistic.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: loulou on May 10, 2009, 07:49:13 pm: and the only ones where i finished the whole bag. I see Gary Lineker has his girlfriend in on the Walkers ads with him now.

Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: goldencup on May 11, 2009, 08:18:34 am: I never tried the Builders Breakfast flavour (or Onion Bhaji for that matter) but I heard good reports on both.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: loulou on May 11, 2009, 09:00:34 am: Anyone giving good reports on builders breakfast has no taste.

I never tried the Builders Breakfast flavour (or Onion Bhaji for that matter) but I heard good reports on both.

I tried them all (most from Home Bargains):

Duck in hoisin sauce: Nice, but nothing special.
Onion Bhaji: Absolutely disgusting, the worst of the lot! So bad I spat it out in disgust and got a drink of water to get rid of the vile taste.
Chilli And Chocolate: Almost as bad as the Onion Bhaji!
Fish and Chips: In a way, like Ready Salted crisps: you can take it or leave it. Nothing special.
Cajun Squrrel: Just normal cajun spice crisps with no hint of squirrel (maybe that's because they were vegetarian but still!).
Builders Breakfast: The best of a bad bunch. Not too bad actually. The one I predicted would win (which it did) - wonder if I could have put a bet on that? :D
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: wjp666 on May 12, 2009, 04:08:16 pm: hmm - i liked the bhaji ones.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: loulou on May 12, 2009, 05:59:45 pm: Bhaji inventor was robbed.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: paulham on May 12, 2009, 06:37:50 pm: The onion bhaji ones were by far the most realistic unless you rename the fish and chips to "a woman's sweaty clopper". Now that I'll give you, sunshine.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: loulou on May 12, 2009, 06:40:30 pm: Perhaps when davidc bought his from Home Bargains they were stale.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: davidc on May 12, 2009, 11:29:09 pm: They weren't stale.

Think they were about 15p each. So if you like the onion bhaji ones, get down to Home Bargains/Quality Save as they seem to be the ones that they have most of.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: oldspice on May 13, 2009, 06:46:49 am: What about a Fisherman's breakfast flavour? Kippers?
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: wjp666 on May 13, 2009, 07:41:15 am: mmm. scampi fries...
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: loulou on May 13, 2009, 09:20:44 am: Crab crisps could be nice.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: oldspice on May 13, 2009, 06:12:44 pm: How about the Scotsman's breakfast flavour. Porridge and Bloaters.
Title: Re: Walkers Do Us a Flavour
Post by: paulham on May 13, 2009, 06:19:53 pm: Yes I've got a couple of those bloaters. It has a lot to do with me not getting my oats at last night's party, funnily enough.
