Didn't think Beef and Onion would be so high and Prawn so low.

Ta for sharing the intel bro

 

[MrCookiepants]

You poor bastards don't even know what you're missing.

 

[Siegmeyer]

For life!

Right answer, wrong era. Monster munch individual crisps used to be much bigger, and the old school pickled onion were much stronger, like eye-wateringly strong. They were awesome, the King of Crisps.

 

[Floex]

Vinegar and Salt is the best, but I find that Lays (umm...Walkers) is a bit too light on the vinegar. I want my mouth to ache in regret from the acid burn after eating V&S chips.

Vinegar and Salt? VINEGAR AND SALT?! Wtf mon?

 

[Senator Soufflé]

Tayto NI represent!

Does Prawn cocktail exist in the US? What with them calling them shrimps and all that...

 

[dan2026]

The true greatest crisps, nobody knows about!

 

[Screenboy]

Prawn Cocktail are too low

 

[Hours Left]

Pickled onion sounds yummy.

 

[Brera]

I think we can all agree that...the UK has the best shit in the world!

 

[Siegmeyer]

I think we can all agree that...the UK has the best shit in the world!

Wat? No way. States wins hands down (and I'm a UKer). They have snacking down to an artform.

 

[Slightly Live]

THESE WERE A RARE TREAT FROM THE GODS.

And the they were ruined.

Ruined the taste completely.

Also, God Tier normal crisps:

 

[Veins]

Same as in Australia and New Zealand.

Salt and Vinegar is Pink.

 

[Tc91]

Go grab yourself some of these:

Sooooo good.

 

[Talents]

Walkers Pickled Onion >

Seriously the best crisps ever, too bad the only way I can get them is ordering them online.

 

[Nevasleep]

Salt and Pepper is my fav.

 

[raindoc]

Just salt.

It's the only way.

!

 

[RevDM]

Ready salted? Chicken? Da fuk Union Jack

 

[Pacbois]

Meanwhile, in France...

Salted Butter Caramel chips... Never tried it and does not want to.

 

[Zaptruder]

Somehow UK gaffers spending 170 billion dollars on chips per annum sounds a bit wrong.

With 50million odd UKers...

That's like spending $3400 on chips per annum.

Or roughly 1700 * 250 gram bags of chips...

4.65 bags of chips per day per person on average.

That's about 4500 calories worth of chips per day on average!

 

[show me your skeleton]

know what i miss britgaf? prawn cocktail quavers.

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

Right answer, wrong era. Monster munch individual crisps used to be much bigger, and the old school pickled onion were much stronger, like eye-wateringly strong. They were awesome, the King of Crisps.

The newer packets have reverted back to the bigger size. I can't say how different the flavour is, but I still love a pickled onion monster munch.

 

[javac]

Prawn Cocktail is the best,

 

[Jamie OD]

Cheese & Onion all day every day.

 

[Joel Was Right]

Ready Salted is number 1?! But its so plain. Who buys crisps to eat something that tastes so plain

 

[Hrothgar]

Salt and Pepper is my fav.

I had those a while back. I had to throw them away because of how disgustingly salt they were.

 

[Evolution_1ne]

Your favorite chips

came expecting to this at the top

you know nothing UK

 

[Ikuu]

Kettle are pretty nice, but I love some McCoys Salt + Vinegar.

 

[moggio]

So I get the chips = crisps thing.

But what I don't get is calling cookies biscuits. What do Brits call biscuits? Are they just caught under the umbrella of "scones?"

A cookie is a type of biscuit but a biscuit isn't necessarily a type of cookie.

A cookie:

Biscuits:

In that selection we have cookies, Jammie Dodgers, chocolate digestives, custard creams, bourbons amongst others.

A "biscuit" as you'd know it is just a savoury scone.

Also the best crisps are Scampi & Lemon Nik Naks.

 

[Volotaire]

Wrong.

It's this.

Absolutely love vegetables as crisps. More nutritious, and yummier!

 

[Gowans]

I remember the days after school where I would buy these for 40p, it made my day:

Oh man Panda Pop, that was always the stand by if you were skint.

Always used to get that at the local chippy, bubble gun flavour!


Also do you guys know Froodos are now 20p too!!! And they're smaller!

 

[nephilimdj]

Chips:

Fries:

There's a difference.

Yea was suprised UK mc donalds had the same naming conventions as USA

Big Mac = Sandwich

Called a Burger in South Africa and Australia... I always thought the burger thing was a commonwealth thing, but proved me wrong a few years ago.

 

[Cindres]

Wrong.

It's this.



Absolutely love vegetables as crisps. More nutritious, and yummier!

I do love me some good root vegetable crisps.

And Kettle's Black Peppercorn are my fucking jam.

 

[YaGaMi]

Where's Worcester Sauce?! Ketchup is my fave!

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Ready salted is the best by far.

I'll accept salt and vinegar. Cheese and Onion is for madmen. Prawn Cocktail is worse than Hitler.

Are we brothers?

Spoiler

we should be

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

Kettle are pretty nice, but I love some McCoys Salt + Vinegar.

McCoys used to be awesome then there was a regulation put on the salt in crisps and the flavour pretty much halved.

 

[Gowans]

It's like an unsweetened scone.

Also you all need to move on from Walkers and get some cheaper crisps with some flavour!

Seabrooks beefy are the I my ones to Rival McCoys

 

[Diablos54]

I think we can all agree that...the UK has the best shit in the world!

Well the U.K. has you, so we have the best troll in the world for a start!

 

[Acorn]

Frazzles and flaming hot monster munch for life.

 

[Volotaire]

I think we can all agree that...the UK has the best shit in the world!

I live in the UK and I disagree entirely with this statement.

 

[ampere]

Do the ready salted have the same recipe as Lays original in the states, or are there subtle flavor differences? That's my favorite kind.

 

[M*A*S*H]

Right answer, wrong era. Monster munch individual crisps used to be much bigger, and the old school pickled onion were much stronger, like eye-wateringly strong. They were awesome, the King of Crisps.

Probably one of the strongest foods I've ever tasted. So good.

 

[F0rneus]

UK made a good choice in repping ketchup. Ketchup is pure, savor stealing evil in hot-dogs but on fries...Hmmm. And the chip flavor? Hmmmm!

 

[Enco]

Walkers are fucking gross.

Oily crap.

So many better alternatives. Baked stuff > everything else

 

[Dizzy]

Can't believe Prawn cocktail and BBQ rib are so far down the list. Those + cheese & onion are my favourites. Fuck ready salted. Boring ass flavour.


But Seabrook crisps and mccoys >>> walkers. So much flavour.

 

[Rlan]

In Australia they're called Thins:

And Salt & Vinegar is ALWAYS Purple. Chicken Green, Regular Salted Blue.

 

[M*A*S*H]

What is that blasphemy? I think I speak for everyone when I say we're all very disappointed in you Australia.

 

[JessicaPadkin]

I wish to add something to the thread.

Team Salt & Vinegar 4 life!

 

[Delusibeta]

Wrong, the correct answer is:

 

[venom2124]

I don't care what any of you say. Prawn cocktail sounds like a flavor from the most depraved level of hell.

 

[mokeyjoe]

Wat? No way. States wins hands down (and I'm a UKer). They have snacking down to an artform.

I disagree. When it comes to salty snacks the UK wins IMO. There's so much more variety in brand, flavours, and um.. form. Fast food's so much better in America it's kind of pointless, I'd swap one for the other any day.

Walker's are pretty rubbish though.

The best:
