I would give it zero out of five if it was an option, recently bought some smoky bacon havent had them in a long time and I was disgusted they taste like chemicals its the same with cheese and onion don't know what they've done but its not good if I was to guess they've changed the flavours and rebranded it as brand new flavour etc etc but its really just to save money they no longer care about the consumer even a tiny bit I wish I could recommend an alternative but it seems they are all just trash thesedays and massively over priced there are still good crisps out there but you need to a
Pay a premium price recently tried Yorkshire crisps and they were good but again you are paying a premium and who wants to spend that on crisps its okay for a once in a blue moon purchase though

Wotsits Crunchy

As a former South African and brought up with Nik Naks from Simba I am pleased to see there is a close resemblance with the new Walkers wotsits Crunchy.
These are definitely a must as Simba are not as easily available in the UK, however the price currently resembles the South African product imported. A tad high.
Still and enjoyable product.

Flavour decline of Walkers.

Walkers how have you gone from of the UK’s best brand of Crisps. To a brand that’s on a decline.
In the last few years you have brought out quite a few different flavours of Crisps, but some how the world’s largest crisp factory yet is on the decline. Now when you buy any flavours of crisps and the taste has become so bland that I thought the crisps I was eating Ready Salted crisps only to find out it was my favourite flavour, Pickled Onion. Then to find out this has happened across the board.

Walkers = poison

Disgusting brand owned by a disgusting American brand pepsi! All the products have tons of harmful ingredients and anyone would think they’re trying to kill us or even worse slowly make us FAT & ILL & THEN KILL US! I’ve stopped buying this brand now and only look for products without POISON IN THEM!

I used to buy several packets of ready salted every week but for some considerable time the taste has been disappointing, I have noticed that the ingredients are different to what they once were so maybe that is why. I have stopped buying Walkers as they are now no better than supermarket own brands which are also better value.

Salt and shake crisps

Salt and shake crisps, much preffered the blue salt bag inside than the white one they have now, kind find it as easy in the bag, and the salt is in a clump. Bring back the blue salt bags, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Walkers crisps are horrible now !!

Use to love walkers crisps , thought it was my taste buds for the past few months!! Got smoky bacon today , tasteless and almost chewy they don’t melt in your mouth anymore , so went out to shop to check the other flavours, all horrible ,I use to buy a big box a month , never buying them again. They are just horrible, they don’t taste the same at all , walkers have destroyed their crisps

Walkers monster munch

Walkers monster munch. Well what can you say. Typical of walkers once again. Operative word "monster" these things are the size of my thumb nail. Kids needed two bites, now as a treat there slamming 2 at once. No joy in snacks anymore. Just companies reaping profits. Well ill tell you this walkers ill spread the word.

WHO is the NUMPTY that replaced the BLUE salt bag (that you could see) To the new CLEAR salt bag (that you CANNOT SEE) until you tip the crisps out the bag to find the gawd damn thing. Dipshit of the decade award .

Bought two pkts Ready Salted crisps. First one OK, second One I extracted a long blonde human hair out of my mouth while chewing. Yuck. Tried THREE TIMES to phone them, but they cut the call before it was possible to speak. Yuck. Last of these for me.

Ready salted flavour change..

I noticed that the ready salted flavour started to taste funny. I checked the ingredients. They used to be just potatoes, oil and salt. They now contain antioxidants and tocopherol rich extracts etc. I don’t buy them now..

6 pack Walkers lightly salted

I’ve purchase a 6 pack Walkers lightly salted crisps in Tesco, after some time and I have to say How Not Nice they were anymore compare to a few years ago. 🤮. It tasted like fish oil.
Why oh why !?? Not going to purchase them anytime soon. 👎🏼

Walkers Sensations Sweet Chilli quality.

Walkers Sensations Sweet Chilli. Why is the texture of these crisps so variable - packet to packet? Are the potatoes a different variety? Or is the process in manufacture different. This should not happen in a quality product. Very disappointing!
