Why so EXPENSIVE? New Walkers MAX Extra Flamin Hot Crisps Review

[@QU4DP1MP]

The reason they're so expensive is because it says WALKERS on the packet, overated and overpriced products, just like HEINZ, imo. Keep up the great work with the videos 👍

[@jimtheburrito4080]

Heinz products are always decent tbf but yes the TK sauce is a crazy price

[@kevowski]

Spot on Heinz products are massively overpriced!

[@nsean479]

Don't forget walkers have to pay the overated and overpriced Gary Lineker 😛

[@C_Pedro13]

Heinz gotta be the worst for that

[@matthewwilliams3827]

Companies only put to make a packet

[@magicgraham9666]

My favourite crisps used to be Brannigans Roast Beef and Mustard Flavour Crisps. They tasted amazing! Sadly now no longer made.

[@ilovecats1472]

Brannigans best ever. All gone now. I loved dorritos with hint of lime for dipping. Stopped them aswell. Do like flaming monster munch aswell lol.

[@ilovecats1472]

Heard Tesco finest beef and horseradish is supposed to be like brannigans so going try them. Heard some good things.

[@SuperJono42]

Brannigans were great crisps......

[@peefuzz351]

All their crisps were banging, full of flavour. The ham and pickle ones were lush too.

[@MyDannyboy82]

What about lamb and mint too really nice 😎👌🏼

[@stevenclark1973]

They target the public to recycle more but not these companies who continue to make bigger packaging with less content, whilst increasing the price. There is absolutely no reason to make the bag twice as big as the contents, but just to fool the buyer. We all keep falling for it over and over again. Great video though... as always!

[@charmhoney]

Just finished munching a pack of these. I think they taste like paprika as well. They’re better than the wotsits crunchy version(taste very lemony) but the Doritos are the best version, they taste like Takis. I got these from Asda. For £1.50

[@ambertia5337]

Tried the Doritos version the other day, opened the bag and saw what looked like bright red Doritos staring back! I thought, ‘blooming heck, these are gonna be hot!’….and they were!! 🥵

[@bluebirdie35]

That Millenium Falcon was Pac Man in disguise! My hubby went to put these crisps in our basket last week and I gave him the look of 'are you joking, at that price' and they stayed on the shelf 😂😂

[@DickieDark]

Slice a few potatoes really thin, cover in paprika or seasoning of your choice and airfry. Costs hardly anything, no crap and tastes really good.

[@danmyers7827]

Great idea! And you'll be getting slices of actual potato, not re-formed scraps, which is what the reviewed product *might* be made of.

[@steveselectricalstuff884]

Why I shop at Aldi, no overpriced rubbish

[@telemedic5142]

Thank you for this today. Made me laugh! Keep them coming, Gareth!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ronniemcewan3150]

Loved watching this . I don't know about you but I miss Brannigans roast beef and mustard crisps those were out of this world .

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

thanks

[@louisemccafferty5871]

I love crisps but they are so expensive love your channel

[@JoeStephens-cw9ze]

Buy them from Tesco save 75p. Simple

[@menopausalbarbie7467]

I think I'll give them a miss. Thanks for another honest review 💜💜💜

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

cheers Barbie

[@johnhooton8299]

The extra cost is down to the extra print is has cost them to have EXTRA FLAMIN HOT printed all over the packet.

[@FRESHNESSSSSS]

Those Seabrook Scorpion Chilli crisps that appear every now and then in supermarkets are the hottest on the market, for me. I'm alright with spice, but those DO make your head sweat

[@SeasideBandit]

I can't get enough of them. I'm considering using them as breading for chicken breast.

[@julesb7707]

Yes I was just gonna say this….the ones in the black bag were amazing👍🏼

[@felicityscarth3153]

Extra flamin’ pricey…..what else? They smell, and crunch! Chop up a spud and make your own! Love watching you BFG……even though I’m a vegetarian, I watch them all……pie-opsies, meaty stuff…..the lot. You do everything so well, thank you!

[@eadweard.]

I liked "I've had cheeses that've made me head sweat"!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

haha yes strong cheese does it.

[@matthewetheridge4535]

I've had cheeses that've made me head sweat for gouda sake, and that may be brie-lliant!

[@kizzyfarrell6156]

Love crisps Overpriced Best wishes gareth

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

me too Kizzy, all the best

[@jondv5278]

local one stop shop are selling these for £1.50 a bag, they have all three variants, I'm on my way to the shop now 😋

[@diymechanic4378]

They are on offer in Tesco

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers

[@lowfatmofat2152]

I don't do crisps anymore on my diet but used to like Tayto back in the day. P.S. Can you do a review on the Sainsbury's mince they're trying to pass off as beef mince please, I was shocked at the state of it on the shelves in a vac bag. ❤

[@misolgit69]

just checked £2.25 ish is the cost across the major store chains

[@avfc1956]

£1.50 in Sainsburys I think 🤔

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers good to know

[@kerryyoung980]

You are enjoying this? They look very colourful with the flavour

[@ljm9379]

Great crisp vlog, crispy are so expensive now but still buy them. Can’t beat a crisp sandwich. Yummy,❤

[@dominicdavenport8684]

Think theyre 1.50 on clubcard atm

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

cheers

[@muzikman2008]

Not bought walkers for years.. Rip off prices, I actually prefer tesco own brand or lidl crisps. Lidl cheesy nachos a jar of chopped jalapinos, and a cheese & chive dip costs about the same, and you get more. 😎😋

[@stewartgovan1672]

Hi Gareth, thanks for another brill review. Really cheered me up after one of my oldest friends passed away yesterday suddenly at a very young age. It's all hot air from Walkers. The only thing that's extra flaming hot is the price. You might get burned...lol.Keep up the spot on work. Best wishes from Scotland.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers mate will do.

[@TheClairem75]

I don’t know if you’re into sweet stuff but Iceland do a nice range of frozen cakes. They have a new one, rhubarb & custard which is delicious. I got my mum one for Mothers Day & now she demands them every time I do an order, 3 for £6!

[@keithjones5268]

I got some last week still waiting for the heat

[@Etihadnev]

Garth not a lot of thought gone in to that review did Uber Eats drop them crisps round.

[@barry5165]

If you could find them, you should try seabrooks loaded fire eaters crisps, trinidad scorpion chilli flavour if you like your spicey food, you might like these

[@Non-Stick_Pan]

Glad you did this video mate. I picked up a bag of these in Tesco last week, can't remember how much they were but definitely less than £2.25 I wouldn't have paid that! By chance I opened them up and tried them just before I watched your video. Taste is pleasant, but laughed at the 'extra flamin hot' because they definitely aren't!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

You're welcome

[@simonblakeway5343]

Seabrook's have just released their Trinidad scorpion chilli crisps

[@arthurvasey]

Used to get Tudor crisps up my way - they were usually almost stale by the time we got them - my theory was that the shops kept them in storage until close to the sell-by date and then sell them at full price - and they were invariably half a packet! Their beef line wasn’t selling, so they repackaged them as “hedgehog flavour!”. Have you also noticed that the only flavours of crisps that are suitable for vegetarians are the meat-flavoured ones?

[@carlrobson5745]

Used to live in north east when I was a child Tudor did some amazing flavours best ones were bovril and pickled onion

[@talldarkviking]

Things have been difficult in the food industries, these past few years. It isn't surprising that some companies introduce products that are different. So that some people buy them to try 😉 How much sugar are in those? Crisps and sugar don't mix. Cheers for sampling these Gareth 🙂

[@TheCho-k4m]

Loads of cobblers. Food inflation in France has been running at 4 percent, here in the UK it's been more than 30 percent. Have a think about why.

[@HappyBagger]

I don't like sunflower oil, which all crisps are now made in. The only crisps I now eat occasionally are Golden Wonder chicken flavour as they are nicely flavoured and it masks the sunflower oil, combined with a good price (1.25 for 6x25g at Home Bargains)

[@Pete_R]

As you posted this I was in Iceland I walked in with a trolley and all I bought was 2 bottles of the New Lucozade (£1.50p each) Iceland's Prices are shocking for Food now

[@cheesybellend6842]

The blue blast one or something , it’s like a crap version of the old blue Powerade

[@SL2K2000]

£1.50 in heron got the crunchy wotsit ones too

👌Thanks Gaz top draw, i always thought air was free until i opened a packet of Walkers potato chips goodness gracious me😂🎉❤

They do the wotsits in the same package and also dorito's, both on offer in Tesco for £1.50

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Liking the marks out of ten, def do this on all your reviews going forward, quite a few of them are just you saying, that’s nice. Another great video though!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Glad you like them!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

cheers sound good

[@DebbieBartlett-si1zz]

No serving suggestion ffs😂😂😂😂

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

🤣

[@suzanheywood]

Ridiculous price for half a bag of crisps. If people stopped buying them they'd have to reduce the price surely. Love the channel.

[@MichaelCampin]

I know what you mean Chiquittos spicy chilli was anything but. We had to ask for extra spice but they said it was cooked for a level of normal clients

[@timjenkins3600]

Hey Gareth, they're on offer at Sainsbury's, £1.60 a bag with a Nectar card. Might be worth trying the Doritos extra flaming hot. I think they're on offer too at Sainsbury's.

[@Dreamweaver787]

We always buy Lay's crisps, they are all owned by the same parent company of Walkers but I think Lay's are produced abroad and taste so much better, or Tato crisps are also way better than Walkers.

[@avfc1956]

I notice the Marmite branded flavour crisps, which used to be Walkers, are now made by Tayto in Ireland. Crisp inflation has been astronomical in the past few years 🤬

[@verk6479]

The local One Stop has them in for £1.50. The Doritos do taste like Taki Fuegos and are a lot cheaper as USA import places tend to charge £5 for the Takis

[@paulcousans4254]

Honestly, these companies are taking the piss now with their pricing on these so called special edition crisps and massive bags with hardly anything in them. Would only buy these when they were on offer. Great video as ever.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

2.25 is about right. Pringles are about that, and the multipacks are over 2 quid now. Always buy when on offer.

They sell the same size bag for £1.89p Gaz in our little corner shop! 👍

You should try the new walkers sensations. Mature cheddar and chilli chutney. They just came out recently. 👍

Ooh, they sound good! I'll be keeping an eye out for them myself! Thanks for the recommendation 👍🏽

In my local food warehouse its £2.25 for a bag of six, or you can buy four packets for £7. Its getting scandalous.

[@DonkeyTubes]

Bought some in tesco today for £1.50, which is a bit nearer the mark.

[@openorwap5412]

Asda have them for £1.50. That'll go up soon enough, though.

[@janwong9437]

Whilst waiting for a table at my local Toby I had a packet of the Max roast beef ones and they were delicious , much better than the actual meal itself I kid you not 😂

[@wax0rz]

So, they've given you 10g less, for 50p more? I forget if the 140g bags were 1.75 or 2 quid

[@BeingD2023]

the price is high due to the weight of the bag. over the standard 25g bag. but they are just not worth it.

[@AcousticNRG]

the flamin hot dorritoes aint bad

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers need to try them

[@Rexxyann258]

Extra flaming expensive Two months ago walkers brought out a new range of watsits crunchy Extra hot and a cheese flavour I bought the cheese flavour and they are delicious also they were £1.75 for 130g I went back a month later (Asda) and they were priced at £2.50 I was absolutely floored by the price hike Iceland sell them at 3 bags for a fiver

[@rodneyrayner2338]

Tried a bag of these from my local discount store and they were £1.50 ..... didn't think they tasted much different to normal Flamin Hot version but was drinking Lager too!.... Prefer the Hot Chicken Wings flavour myself and they are always on offer in my local Food Warehouse Iceland at 3 bag's for £5.00 ....at least you won't get asked if you can do them in the Microwave!....😂.....👍

That price! I haven't been near Walkers since Linekar went off the deep end, so no skin off my nose.

Noticed Tesco have a range of Trophi Gyros kebab meat - about to give it a try!

Not tried the wotsit or the max versions yet, but the dorito 1s were rubbish :/ had such high hopes for em aswell and I assume they're all the same seasoning :/ I will recommend the 2 Seabrooks though... TRINIDAD SCORPION CHILLI & SMOKEHOUSE CAYENNE
