Do not buy is a bit strong.  Surely everyone has a right to try?

I mean, I don't eat gay fish dishes, but I wouldn't say Don't Buy Fish

we got a batch of these in at work as a special order for one of our customers, Managed to pinch a pack of each flavour, must say I was a bit ill afterwards, very disapointing after all the hype about new flavours.

Yes but these are vile!

5 people tried them - all thought them nonedescript )3 flavours) or bad (the other 3), 3 flavours were actually disgusting and other posters agree.

There are lots of nice crisps but these to be honest are the worst I have tried!

I would. Only thing i need out of the sea is Salt. Oh, and water. :y

No point in getting adventurous with crisp flavours. Ready salted, cheese and onion, chicken, beef. Oh, and watch out that I don't get one of mrs. KW's rank packets of prawn cocktail flavour by mistake.

None of the above taste like they should, so how are they going to convince me that "Lasagne verdi with garlic bread and a glass of barolo" is going to be anything but ruddy awful?

I must say that I find all flavoured crisps taste awful no matter what make, just a mixture of chemicals.

What's wrong with good old potato flavoured crisps?

Then again perhaps I am just a miserable old sod!

Trouble with taste is its subjective.  For instance, for 'packaged' cornish pasties I think Ginsters are the best (without getting into debates on whether they are real cornish pasties - thats irrelevent), but know I'm often outvoted by those who like, for example, Pork Farms Pasties

Not a big crisp fan, but do like Walkers Prawn Cocktail flavour.  However, can't stand prawn cocktails. So shows the crisp taste nothing like the flavour.

Also like McCoys Steak, Cheddar and Onion, and Mexican Chilli.  Often get a multipack from the cash and carry, on offer at moment, 18 packs for £1.27+VAT - that less than 10p a pack :y

Actually I can comment on this (Cornish ancestry).

Gingsters pasties are good for a packaged one, Pork Farms are inedible and contain items not found in real pasties.

Managed to shed over half a stone in 2 weeks, so such snacks are a treat now, (Gotta stick at it). I allow myself the odd pack of quavers cos if you don't munch 'em they melt in ones gob so a pack can last half an hour on the motorway. So called chilli snacks have no heat i can taste & are way to sweet. Given a free reign i love Marmite crisps in a 6 pack & any flavour knick knacks.
   I no longer allow mysef those but Yummy 8-)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think this is the only genuine one of the lot.

Blue LEDs are OK when used on some electrical kit, along with other colours for status ect

Sony - not gay

BMW - they are RWD therefore not gay, gay are FWD - like the BMW Mini

Sky - Are football fans gay?

There is never any need for a blue LED.  Red/Amber/Green covers all requirments

Sony - you are misinformed. Or Gay.

BMW - all gay, driven wheels irrelevent. This makes hald my family gay as well.

Sky ain't big on footie - look at how they compress it badly. The gay buggers just want an extra tenner a month to watch it properly
