Crisp Flavour Inflation

    Is it me or are crisps getting more and more highly flavoured?

    I suspect a flavour inflation with each manufacturer upping the flavour stakes so their product won't seem bland.

    Also why can't I get Irish made Lightly Salted crisps?
    Tayto brought one out last year but they'd strip the lining off your mouth they were so salty and contained other stuff other than salt.

    Bad Tayto.:mad:
    They could have the perfect salted crisp.

    I thought they tasted like big, salty cheerios. Thumbs down from me.

    My Dad was a kid when Tayto crisps first came on the scene in the 50s. They were flavourless but you got a wee sachet of salt to shake onto them. Bless. He and his friends wrote to Tayto to say how much they liked the product and they got a big box sent to them for free...

    I'll only eat Tayto or King crisps Cheese and Onion flavour. Everthing else is a poor imitaion imho.

    Ready salted = 'plain crisps'

    YEAUCK!

    I think they are an English invention. Irish people don't go for this plain hoo-ha.
