I thought "they can't be that bad surely?"

I was wrong. So, so wrong.

I actually like these, and sometimes get them as a flavoursome treat. They're not an everyday crisp, but lovely occasionally.

Shut yo mouth. These crisps are the best.

I used to love them. Before I went vegan. Then...well see my name.

What really gets me is, there are plenty of meaty and cheesy flavoured crisps out there that manage without it perfectly well (many not even intentionally vegan), so they really have no excuse!

Yes please! Lactose intolerant here, having milk in cheese, chocolate and cookies is already bad enough

having milk in cheese

🤨

It’s getting to be so you can’t enjoy a tall glass of milk without them putting milk in there.

Looking at you, M&S. "Yum, that looks tasty, no one else puts milk in these, I'd better check the ingredients anyway... FUCK YOU M&S!!?!?!"

American style bubble chip?? As an American, wtf is a bubble chip? Our chips don't look anything like on that package. Im assuming these are potato based?

Stop trying to hide your precious bubble chips

They're pretty good

Nah, the cheeseburger flavoured crisps I got from Morrisons a while back were fantastically foul. Literally one of the worst things I’ve ever tasted

Haven't had a packet in years but I did really like these.

T bone flavor? I've never heard of a meat flavored chip. Were they salty? Doesn't sound good

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Meat-flavoured crisps are common in the UK. Roast chicken, smoky bacon, and BBQ beef are routine for flavours.

Prawn cocktail crisps taste of prawn cocktail sauce... not of prawns.

Roast chicken bbq and bacon make sense to me but not t bone

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

If you can imagine those, I'm sure you can imagine steak flavour. That's all it is.

These steak-flavoured "bubbled chips" are suitable for vegetarians, which raises some additional questions.

Probably not enough butter, salt and high fructose corn syrup for your delicate palate mate

we just make our chips out of corn in murica
