#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

#1 - Walkers: Cheese and Onion

15/8/18 - Reading It’s not a crisp review if I don’t kick it off with the classic Cheese and Onion from everyone’s favourite, Walkers! I found these in my cupboard because I needed crisps urgently and these were the only ones available at hands reach, also the only ones in the house other than Prawn Cocktail (look out for that post in the future).  So, the taste test. I found these particularly stale because I don’t know when they were bought and how long they’ve been in the cupboard for. Slightly disappointed because I do like Cheese and Onion, but today was not one of those days. Side note: this packet expires on October 20th 2018 which is pretty close. To add to the crisps being abandoned for an unknown time, they were surprisingly broken which I was not expecting but did not ruin the experience (or what there was of an experience). Walkers say that they are “proud to put the delicious crunch into the nation’s favourite crisps”, which they did deliver on, I ju...
