Walkers Marmite crisps
Is anyone else noticing these disappearing off the supermarket shelves to be replaced by Marmite brand (in a black and yellow bag) crisps? I've tried the Marmite brand ones and they are not as nice as Walkers but I'm wondering if Walkers have lost the right to make their version.
The Marmite brand ones taste to me of burnt sugar

No I've not noticed this but there's not that many crisp manufacturers in the country, so they are probably still made by walkers.

They seem to be made with different potatoes too - different texture.

I loved Walkers Marmite crisps.
Given them up for Lent though so I can't have the new ones until after Easter.

The new one's are a different manufacturer. Believe it or not there are more than 12 crisp and snack factories in the UK, some owned by same companies, but there's more than you realise. |

A salted crisp flavoured with a product that's renowned for its excessively high salt content. Doesn't seem like a marketing department's dream to be honest.

Actually they are not salted first.

I'm pretty indifferent to Marmite products, I can take them or leave them.

The only decent crisp Walkers made (at least under their own name).
I've missed them and the closest i've been able to come since they disappeared is Real crisps "Roast Ox" flavour (more reminiscent of Smith's Bovril than Marmite though). Hope they use the same recipe as before. |

Not tried the specific marmite cheese but I do love marmite and cheese sandwiches so I might have to buy a block. With a side of the cashews and bag of the crisps.

Anyone spotted the Walkers Marmite crisps yet? Are they going to use the same packaging they used to?
So far my local supermarket is still stocking Marmite crisps in the black packaging, which i presume is still the disgusting replacement crisps that appeared after Walkers previous contract expired. |
