To be honest I would begrudge paying more than twice as much for "brand name" Crisps when the difference in the end result is negligible. Just to backup my point....

I think the worst price at the moment is Walkers French Fries, as you only get 17g per bag compared to the 25g for crisps, so they are ridiculously expensive for what you actually get. It's one of the few types of snacks for which I have never seen a copy.

I absolutely love Golden Wonder. Walkers has no flavour for me but Golden Wonder is awesome and strong flavouring too Xx

With Walkers you do get consistency. Sometimes the Snackrite will be really sgrongly flavoured and sometiems you'll hardly get any flavour. Sometimes you'll get scraggy little crisps and sometimes they're fine. Personally they're just for me to have with a sandwich, and I'm not willing to pay all that for a Walkers crisp, when most of the price is going towards paying for their adverts.

Golden wonder are sold in the shops I go into , hardly see Walkers , but when I do they are much more expensive than any others. I'll always buy stores own multi packs but if I'm wanting a treat I don't mind buying Kettle or such like .

Hi gaz . Good review. There is such a selection out there! I like the variety bags from asda, they taste ok and dont cost too much. When i was a boy i used to have Smiths crisps with a little blue bag of salt to put on them. Remember them?. All best Steve.👍

I shop at Aldi as its really close and the Snackrite munchies are pretty good for the price. I'm currently consuming a bag of 'Melts'. Same as Skips and taste just as good. Think I paid about 79p for a six pack.

I tried Aldi's Snackrite range and I can't falt them especially the gourmet range they can punch their weight with Walkers that's for sure

The Walker's Christmas dinner varieties were good. Turkey and Cranberry, Turkey and Stuffing, Pigs in blankets and Brussel Sprout flavours. I think they've stopped them now. Not seen them for a couple of years now. Not a year round revenue earner, I suppose. The Brussel Sprout ones were really good, though I doubt many would agree on that one!

Tesco and aldi do the larger packets in their Christmas range... The pigs in blankets ones from both shops are awesome... I prefer aldi ones tbh. There is a range out in heron shops local to me in Newcastle, they are like wotsits but are pigs in blankets flavour and they are amazing.

I buy Aldi crisps. They are good and much cheaper. As has been said their version of Quavers is very good. Also thier version of Monster munch. I also like there crincle cut light ones that are less calories. And my all time favourit ones are Tudor pickled onion sadly long gone. They were the best pickled onion ever. Seabrooks are really good too.

2 crisp were walking down the road, and a car pulls up beside them, the driver offers them a lift and they reply no thanks we are walkers!

The first packet of crisps I bought was a penny and a half old pennies with a bag of blue salt inside. A time before any other flavours 😂😂

Aldi Snackrite crips are great, in a 6 pack of Cheese & Onion you will get bags that are stuck to the outer packaging so you have to rip them apart to get to them, some which will be STALE, some that will taste plan or just salt and normally all crushed to death.

I have just watched a man eating crisps and commenting on his expieriences and now i am commenting on the fact i have just watched a guy eating crisps! But honestly that says a lot more about me than it does about you..as obviously you have a youtube channel and this is your content so u have a reason to be here..personally i need to take a long hard look at myself and i will still be buying walkers crips as im not swayed by what i have just watched great video though
