In a conversation the other day about how the Dutch reckoned they have a lot of crisp flavours (they don’t, they have Ready Salted and Paprika and the only other ones are UK brands, the packaging isn’t even in Dutch ffs), I launched into a little speech about the plethora of crisp flavours in the UK and how even small shops have a massive section (or sections) dedicated to them all.
I was laughed at, and it was used as an example of the terrible food in the UK. Who’s side are you on?

I agree with the OP, but cannot bring myself to side with ma0sm
Big diversity but still no cheese and ham, or peanut, or any of the other European staples (not that I like the peanut ones). Wonder if we have to bid for which flavours we’re allowed to market and we lost out on those ones.
Also tomato is frustratingly elusive unless you’re in a proper cornershop that have Tangy Toms or those Snaps, which are awesome, but could be about 75% more tomatoey.
The co-op crips game is best especially over xmas. Spotted they’ve got the xmas tree tortillas down to 38p at the moment, sour cream flavour but such a great subtle flavour not like other sour creams, and loads of salt. Really really great. Might stockpile.
I think that the tourist board are the problem, so that you always have a novelty crisp flavour when you go on holiday, which is about 95% of the reason I go on holiday tbh.
i think they should get rid of all crisps that i dont like, i think that would be fine. get rid of stupid chicken flavour crisps, horrible. get rid of smoky bacon flavour, i used to like that and now i dont care for it. cant think of any others id get rid of right now, i’ll keep you up to date.
