Why, after 34 years of not liking them, do I now like a bag of cheese and onion flavoured crisps? I've just finished a bag of McCoys Ridge Cut Cheddar and Onion btw... :lol:

    With the demise of The News of The World, I'd hope niether, as my Sunday tabloid payday for '34 year old man up the duff - shocker' will be a lot less!!! :wink:

    Didn't salt and vinegar used to be in a blue bag and cheese and onion in a green? When did this change or am I just talking gonads?

    No, you are right. It caught me out for years.

    ... you would have thought I would have learnt after the first packet. I hate cheese and Onion.

    I still go on about this, everyone knows cheese and onion is green and S and V is blue. Walkers are to blame. pesky Gary Lineker. Change them back!

    Walkers have always put Cheese & Onion [God's own crisp flavour] in blue bags, and S&V in green bags. It was the rest of the world, mainly Golden Wonder, that were out of step with Leicestershire's finest I think you'll find.

    I'm curious - does ANYONE actually share a share bag of Doritoes?

    It's a formal declaration of war if anyone dips a hand into my bag of Tangy Cheese.

    I had the opposite. I used to like cheese & onion crisps, now can't stand them.

    This has to be a euphemism for something, just not sure what.

    yum, I luv cheese and onion, sadly my wife says it makes my breath stink, so rarely eat them, except I always take one after donating blood as they're free then.

    McCoys?
    It's not the flavour that's hooked you it's the unique texture of crispy offcuts of recycled corrugated board.

    Not in any flavour for me thanks!

    McCoys flame grilled steak for me. Also can't resist a tub of Pringles when the hostess trundles past on the plane.

    I think Walkers bought out Smiths to spread this crisp packet colour perversion they started. It's obvious cheese and onion should be in green.

    Also Salt and Vinegar -> Fish and Chips -> Sea -> Blue.

    Worcester Sauce French Fries. And very 'less bad' for you too.

    Especially after eating both full cream choux buns out of the packet when you need somert healthy.

    Kebab Nic-Naks - were only around for a short time, but you could taste kebab, salad, garlic mayo and pita in them. It was like a crisp from Willy Wonka.
