Golden Wonder went into administration in Jan 2006;
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4595678.stm but the brand was saved (although they sold Wotsits to Walkers in 2002 and Wheat Crunchies and Nik-Naks to KP Foods in 2006) and they are still made by Tayto of Northern Ireland; http://www.goldenwonder.com/index.asp although it appears they are most widely available in Scotland; "Golden Wonder are once again widely available in Scotland and I have been told they are available in Tesco supermarkets in the rest of the U.K." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Wonder |

Tayto seemed to have disappeared around here, used to be in abundance

They sell Golden Wonder and Tayto in Home Bargains stores if you have one near you, quite a good choice of GW flavours too

A tragic story, they invented the whole idea of the flavoured crisp, surely Britain's greatest culinary achievement since the invention of fish and chips in the mid 19th century.

They sell large (50g I think) packets of Golden Wonder on Virgin trains. That's the only place I've found them in years.
It's a shame, as they used to be the king of crisps. Then they turned rubbish for some reason. |

The interfering government forced them to change their recipe lowering salt and fat content.
Are Pot Noodle still owned by Golden Wonder? They used to taste marvellous but since they've gone low-salt/low-something else, they taste rubbish too. |

Pleased to revive an old thread as I bought a multi-pack of six Golden Wonder crisps in Morrison's today. Just ate a cheese and onion pack-delicious. Better than Walkers! There are ready salted, cheese and onion and salt and vinegar in the pack.

It's Golden Wonder, not Gold & Wonder. Named after the variety of potato.

You can buy them online by the box load
Found the cheese and onion ones in tesco and nearly ate all 6 packets in one go. God they tasted good. (and is it me or have walkers crisps suddenly started to taste awful this year?) |

Tesco sell them.
I wouldn't say the new ones are anything special though, passable at best. |

I love Home Bargains but we don't have them in London - whenever I visit family in the north I stock up on cheap multipacks of Seabrooks crisps which are my favourite these days.

Golden Wonder Cheese & onion crisps are the best Cheese & Onion crisps I have ever tasted.

Sainsburys sell some, tomato ketchup flavour and another which I can't remember, but they are not like they used to be.
Saying that most Crisps are not like they used to be. |
