Do all crisps taste the same?

I'm sure there is only one flavour of crisps.

Whatever it says on the packet, you convince yourself that you can taste that flavour.

The only possible exception is Cheese and Onion which are, of course ... minging.

Scampi flavoured fries is easily superior snags, though scampi and lemon nik naks come a close second followed by Rib'n' saucy flavour

Most of them taste the same to me. Hate Salt & vinegar though, they are just too salty and too vinegary. Prefer Kettle Chip crisps, at least they aren't so salty. Actually JJ, I don't like cheese & onion either ...

Walker's sensations did a mushroom and wine flavour at one time and I couldn't stop eating them, and Marks and Spencer made a baked potato with butter flavour, that really used to taste like the crispy skin on a proper oven cooked baked spud (as opposed to a microwaved one - eugh!)

Yes merciasounds I remember those M&S baked spud ones and it's one of the rare occasions a crisp has actually tasted of what it says.

To answer the question, no, they don't but there are quite a few flavours that do.

Tyrells sweet chilli are gorgeous, as are Real jalapeno, get a good bag of those they make your mouth burn and your eyes water

///those M&S baked spud ones///

they were delicious. why did they discontinue?

Smoky Bacon are distinctive surely?

But aren't Prawn Cocktail just a nasty version of Salt'n'Vinegar?

JJ have you tried Nando's peri peri chicken crisps? Absolutely delicious and you'll never mistake them for any other flavour ;)

M & S used to do gorgeousTomato Sauce flavour crisps, but they too just vanished without a by your leave. - I hate it when that happens.
