When i was a child the brand of crisps i always remember was Smiths. They had a most amazing flavour called savoury vinegar; i am giving my age away now (to anyone that remembers these crisps!) Anyway, having done a little research, i never knew that Smiths were taken over by Walkers in 1979. I do miss that savoury vinegar flavour and to be honest i am suprised they have not brought it back. They relaunched the old 'salt nd shake ' crips with the little blue packet of salt. Personally i think these are a waste of time but for some unknown reason, my young son likes them; i guess its the novelty of sprinkling the salt on the crisps! There are many flavours of ...  Read the complete review

If you are a person and have been alive at any point over the last fifty years then you will undoubtedly have heard of walkers, oh they're a little snack food company who own ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!!! When doing some research I found out that walkers is now owned by Frito-Lay, a company owned by PepsiCo. So it turns out it is official now the world belongs to Pepsi and Coke. Hard to believe that the Walkers company started humbly from a butchers shop in the 1880's, during World War 2 the company underwent certain changes that started it on it's way to the crisp producing powerhouse it is today. It seems that most of the crisp brands I remember from ...  Read the complete review

I admit I am a bit of a junk food fan. I love a packet of crisps or two in fact I cannot stoop at one packet I need more. I am not greedy I just love the taste of crisps. I don't eat any old crisps by the bucket load though, only one variety - Walkers. Walkers are well known brand based in Leicester, the logo is recognised by many. My favourite at the moment is Ready Salted, for some reason I have got quite boring in my older age and I only eat the 'plain' crisps as I tend to call them. They are not really that plain though. Oh no in fact the crispy texture mixed with a subtle but prominent hint of salt is very tasty and although the ...  Read the complete review

WALKERS CRISPS. Having read a review on a cheaper brand of crisps, which for 12 was more than the half price i paid for Walkers, I was inspired to write a review about in my opinion onew of the best makes of crisps available on the market, and have been for a long long time. Currently on special offer for the price of £2.00 this bag containing 18 bags of crisps, 6 being cheese and onion, 6 being ready salted, and 6 being salt and vinegar flavours in this big multi bag at Sainsbury's today at their excellent price. This makes each individual bag of Walkers costing a mere approximately 11pence per bag, which I feel is excellent value ...  Read the complete review

Having just eaten a bag of Walkers Smoky Bacon crisps whilst sat browsing this site it occurred to me that I haven't reviewed a food item. I guess you could say Walkers are the dominant brand of crisp in the UK at least in terms of media representation. Not sure if this dominance went further a field I visited their website @ http://www.walkers.co.uk I didn't expect such a creative and dynamic site as I was basically looking at crisps! It is pleasantly laid out with vibrant colours, primarily blues, and the obligatory Gary Linneker pose. Pleasantly Walkers are considerate enough to offer you a choice of connection speeds, high or low, which is nice as a ...  Read the complete review
