What Happened to the Salt and Vinegar Flavour in Walkers Crisps?
Ask a Question
Any Salt and Vinegar crisp lovers here?
Has anyone noticed that the flavour intensity of some of the crisps has changed?
Maybe there was a mix up in the factory and the hint of Salt and Vinegar got switched with the seriously Salt and Vinegar....
A bit sad at how lacking in flavour my crisps were. Salt and Vinegar crisps are good to add to a tuna mayo sandwich, but not if there is very little flavour added to them. 
Both my partner and son love them, I can give or take. They haven’t mentioned noticing
Nope it's not you I've noticed it with there salt and vinegar dunno what they have done to the cheese and onion but they don't taste the same either
I have been buying Seabrooks and Fairfields crisps delicious and far cheaper than the more popular brands £1.35 compared to £2.20 for a six pack. Just the right crispness without the hard crunch that hurts the gums.
Lynibis ...I haven't bought Seabrook's for years,always found them sooo salty !
I hardly buy Walkers anymore either..
Leannexxx I think I prefer Farmfields. Don't get me wrong I do like other flavours and would eat them if offered but when it comes to buying them myself I stay safe with the ones I know I like. Not too keen on Salt and Vinegar as they are too strong for me and sting lol. Most multi packs contain two of them so would be a waste.
I used to eat walkers crisps but found I was getting less and less in a bag. I now prefer Tyrells and pipers where you get a lot more flavour.
I don’t buy Walkers anymore anyways. They are far too expensive for bags of air. I now buy shops own brand now. Cheaper and more flavour in my opinion. Take Quavers for instance. Flavourless nowadays. If you go to Morrisons you can get their own kind of Quavers called Cheese Curls. They are full of Flavour and not air for £1.29, saving you a quid buying Walkers. Why get ripped off when you can settle for better.
Emerge11 ..I used to work at an Outdoor Pursuits Centre in Derbyshire & whenever I went out drinking with my Instructor mates the landlord of the pub we went to in Rotherham used to offer to sell us a BOX of Quavers as we went through so many bags!!!
I’ve noticed it too !! I used to love walkers salt and vinegar but for a while now the flavour just seems to be lacking and less crisps in the bag
I’ve had the odd packet of Walkers that were noticeably less flavoured than normal. Must have been a dodgy batch
I had a pack of Mc Coy’s crisps flame grilled steak flavour and that was too salty! Never had one that was so strong in flavour was tasty 
but wasn’t used to how salty it was!
Had a cheese and onion baked crisps and I was like omg 
the amount of crisps got even less!! Argh 
kitty88uk yes I like the baked crisps and noticed that is it 22 g or 19g can't recall but not enough!
Sarahvwomble I know it’s not enough!! Damn bags of crisps not even half full!!
It’s mostly bag of air!!
My Northern Ireland born partner had a packet of these on the Ryanair flight to Portugal on Aug 10th..
Yes you read it right...SHAMROCK & Sour Cream flavour Crisps!!!
They are made with Extract of SHAMROCK, it's listed on the ingredients, I checked!
They were nice but the bag was €2 for a mere 25 grams!
RichardDoolin ,yes they did,only had extract of SHAMROCK in,but that's what sells them I suppose,I wish the bag was bigger though!
We would like to know where the worstershire sauce flavour ones have gone from our shelves!
ketchup flavoured ones from walkers?
In some other brands, yes. With Walkers, I only buy the sharing packs. I think they have more intense flavour than the 6 packs... 
When I got some a few months ago I really didn't like the flavour much at all, it not brought regularly so not sure if changed.
