Don’t get me started on wheat crunchies. I bought a multi pack yesterday as I had a craving for some tomato sauce flavoured crisps and it was only that brand that had some in the bag. 13 little tubes in a bag … 13!!!!

War must be declared

I absolutely loved those crisps. Mega delicious. I haven't seen them for years. Bought mine from Tesco.
Wow. That was a blast from the past.
Cheers Moodyblue.

Appears Walkers crisps was established in 1948 and the company has grown year on year to the point it now produces 11 million bags a day . I don't know if anyone has eaten them recently but if you have you may well realise that to increase to that level of production they have had to move to using 8 potatoes instead of 7
