Walkers Crisps

There is something about walkers crisps that puts them in a different league to all other varieties. I'm not sure if it's the potatos that are used, the way they are cooked or how they are packaged in foil, but frankly they taste delicious and also taste fresh. They are crispiest and taste the best and are always my choice when buying crisps off the supermarket shelves. The range of flavours walkers manufacture is quite vast. Aside from the old favourites, such as Cheese and Onion, Salt and Vinegar and Ready Salted, Walkers also make other more meaty flavours such as BBQ Rib and Smokey Bacon, which are by far the best packets in the multipacket and therefore ...  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

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

I've been hearing a lot about this Walkers 'Do us a flavour' competition, so I thought it was about time I got involved. In case you're not sure what it is, let me explain. Walkers asked people to come up with a new flavour for their crisps, and after receiving over one million suggestions they eventually short-listed it down to six flavours. Builder's Breakfast - suggested by Emma in Belper Cajun Squirrel - by Martin in Hednesford Onion Bhaji - by Carole in Durham Crispy Duck & Hoisin - by Vicky in Northwich Chilli & Chocolate - by Catherine in High Wycombe Fish & Chips - by Jane in ...  Read the complete review

Walkers crisps remain the market leaders in the UK, with sales reaching a figure of £480 million. An impressive statistic for something which is essentially a junk food product. Walkers are said to have achieved there market dominance through non-compliance with the industry norm. They broke the industry's 'gentleman's' agreement which ensured that flavours would be easily recognised by associated coloured packets; ready-salted crisps were sold in dark blue packets, salt and vinegar in light blue and cheese and onion in green. In the 1980s Walkers broke with this tradition and changed the colour of their packets to blue for cheese and onion and green for salt ...  Read the complete review
