What have they done to them? Haven't had them for years.

A bag of skips is half empty these days...

As with the monster munch - the actual size of the snack is much smaller. I much preferred a bigger quaver.

I had a packet of salt & shake recently, and they were disgusting - I used to love them too

Squares are still ok I think - but maybe I just got used to the crappier Walkers ones...

I had the privilege of working at the Walkers factory for a brief time.

I can tell that ruining the smiths crisps should be the least of your worries.

I couldn't believe how many people went from going to the toilet to the food production area WITHOUT washing their hands.

Staphylococcus and Vinegar crisps anyone?

They're still called Smiths here, though they're totally different, much thicker crisps and they don't have half as many flavours to choose from.

I used to like the crisps that were bacon flavoured and each crisp was shaped like a little, crunchy, hollow piglet. Can't remember their name though. I think they were actually called piglets.

Have you not seen the relaunched Monster munch? They are big again like they used to be! And BBQ beef is back it's like being a kid again and putting them on your fingers like claws.

they seem to have monopolised service stations and garages too - the shelves are all the same no matter which garage you go into... coca cola, walkers and ginsters

Don't you just hate it when you get a packet of salt your own crisps, and there's no salt packet in it.

We've stopped buying Walkers crisps, we find they taste of nothing. Have gone back to buying Golden Wonder and Seabrooks, much better flavour to be honest.
