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

 :-/

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!

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!
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 used to like the 'Hedgehog' crisps that they did in the 80's, of course that was before they started using artificial flavourings...... :y
