#7 - Frisps: Ready Salted



22/8/18 - Reading

Never before in my life have I eaten something so close to the texture and potential taste of cardboard. I bought a 6 pack of Frisps at high street favourite, Poundland, to add to my ever-growing collection of crisps to try because I thought they would be okay... well they’re not!

These are hands down one of the worst crisp ranges I’ve tried. I’ve implemented a smell test which Frisps failed with a resounding score of 0. These crisps are a poor man’s version of McCoy’s. Literally no flavour or consistency has been thought about when these crisps were produced. What a shambles. 

I’m more upset that I have to eat the cheese & onion and salt & vinegar flavorus eventually. The worst part is that I had to watch my girlfriend enjoy her Transformers BBQ crisps whilst I garnished mine with tears.

1/10

    To say i am little disappointed is an understatment. I feel the review is lacking substance as the critic is comparing them to McCoys, yet they haven't reviewed them yet. HOW CAN THIS BE??

    I feel the comment regarding no flavour is ironic bearing in mind they are ready salted crisps (which are also widely know as PLAIN)

    I would also like to point out the inconsistent scoring across the reviews. It now seems to be out of 10 rather than 5.

    All in all a bad review. The Captian needs to up his game!

#3 - Walkers: Prawn Cocktail

17/8/18 - Reading Before you say anything, I know this is the third Walkers review in a row but it’s easy to get the ball rolling! I have two more crisp reviews in the pipeline in which one of them are made by Walkers but that doesn’t matter! Anyway, Prawn Cocktail. This is one of my favourite flavours that Walkers have produced. When that bag opens you are greeted by an explosion of the sweet smell of the trademark seasoning that covers each crisp to a standard everyone can be proud of.  The taste, oh, the taste. One word to describe Walkers’ Prawn Cocktail is tangy.  But it’s tangy in a way that’s enjoyable and makes you come back for more. They do not taste the same as my Nan’s Christmas Prawn Cocktail, but that’s okay. I’d even go as far to say that these crisps are better than my Nan’s Prawn Cocktail but don’t tell her I said that. 4/5 Next episode: Walkers: Quavers

#4 - Quavers

20/8/18 - Reading This is a crisp that I have enjoyed for countless years. It was given to me as a child, and I will give this to my child. Quavers are for everyone and that is important in today’s society. Quavers for all ages. Cheese is an interesting flavour for a crisp because it can smell, but surprisingly these crisps do not smell and are instead light and fluffy in their stench which is appealing to the nose.  Like other crisps, you are usually gifted with a bag of air with a few sliced potatoes. However, with the cheese flavoured Quavers, you open the bag and they are literally flying into your face, overflowing out of the bag, covering you in that cheesy dust. This is a good thing.  I am welcomed our first guest reviewer for this blog. Please welcome, Rhiannon “The Amazing” Davis (her choice). She went on her lunch break the same time as myself and to my shock, had bought Quavers with her pasta. It only seemed right to get her opinion on this cheesy snack:  “I l...

#6 - Transform-a-Snack: Saucy BBQ

21/8/18 - Reading This is surprisingly the first time I’ve ever tried Transform-a-Snack crisps and I was pleasantly surprised by this flavour! Anything to do with BBQ is a go-to for me because who doesn’t love a BBQ? These crisps are covered in their flavouring similar to that of a Wotsit or Monster Munch so every bite is guaranteed delight. And that rhyme was intentional. My only gripe with these crisps is that there are not a lot of crisps in the small packets, but that’s understandable as these are supposed to be small snacks so there’s not much I can complain about. I look forward to trying the other flavours that Transform-a-Snack have to offer (spicy is on the way)! Unfortunately I did not make a car out of my crisps... 4/5 Next episode - Frisps: Ready Salted
