Red Sky Anglesey Sea Salt Crisps

I quite like a bag of ready salted crisps sometimes even though I'll normally go for one of the more interesting flavours. These Anglesey Sea Salt crisps from Red Sky are yummy though because they are so simple that they are genius! The crisps are quite thick and very crunchy, they are a bit darker looking than other ready salty crisps and I was expecting them to have a bit of a burnt flavour but they taste proper fresh. They haven't gone mad with the salt and that's a good thing because I think a lot of plain salted crisps are waaaay too salty and that makes them hard to eat. You can taste the yummy potato crisps underneath the salt and the 2 ...  Read the complete review

Looking for a change from my usual crisps, I picked up a bag of Red Sky at the supermarket yesterday, as well as a tub of houmous for dipping them into. Im not usually keen on ready salted flavour crisps, but thought these looked good, and since Ive been suffering a spicy overload recently, I thought it was high time I returned to simple flavours. The packaging is very appealing and the bag feels like paper, but is foil lined for freshness. The crisps themselves are crunchy and thick with a premium taste - not too salty, but with just enough flavour to satisfy. They go brilliantly with houmous as the flavours complement each other so well, with ...  Read the complete review

When I first saw these crisps twinkling on a supermarket shelf I thought there must be a major company behind them, because they were being heavily advertised in a way that a small company just embarking on a manufacturing campaign could never afford. I was right and it was Walkers. So although these beautifully packaged crisps are enticing and appealing, they are of course not a small cottage concern, but a giant marketing exercise. Apparently Walkers have seen quite a fall in sales from their premium brand "Sensations" in the last year, whilst their rival "Kettle Chips" have seen an increase in sales of 41% over the same period. It seems ...  Read the complete review

For anyone who regularly reads my foody reviews they won't be surprised to see yet another crisp review from me lol. I love and adore crisps more than anything in the world actually. I love em on their own or in a butty and I'm one of them people that even if I'm not hungry or I'm totally not well and off my food for any reason crisps always tempt me into munching them lol! The Packaging.... As on the review photograph the packet is light blue and feels like its made of very good quality paper. On the bottom of the packet there is a moonlit red sky and on the front all in dark brown and white writing I'm told they are Red Sky 'Nature's promise of a ...  Read the complete review

I first decided to buy a packet of these crisps as I fancied something different and the advertising campaign intrigued me. They were reasonably priced - £0.55 for a small bag at my local petrol station. The packaging was well presented and the bag is made of a decent feeling material unlike other cheaper crisps. The crisps themselves were light, un-greasey and fresh. They were not over salted and were generally of a good quality. They were a good size and uniform in shape with a crunch that denoted their freshness. I felt they were not as "fatty" as kettle chips and not overly seasoned as normal Walkers Ready Salted crisps. The use ...  Read the complete review
