The smell alone should have put me off. After trying one crisp I had to throw the bag away. Nasty. Someone else has mentioned an odd gamey meaty taste on this site - you are right- tastes like nasty brown meat on a chicken that has sat in fridge overnight with a pot of sour cream/milk leaking over itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804241257588608240.post-23340487528352783672014-10-24T21:12:53.424+01:002014-10-24T21:12:53.424+01:00I run a corner shop (english) and invested in a ca...I run a corner shop (english) and invested in a case of each of these crisps. My customers won't touch them. Walkers have something to answer for here. The crisps had a short sell-by-date and I had to reduce them to 40p a bag. They 'still' would not budge. I lose money with crisps. I now stick to the 20p bags for the kids and the £1 sharing bags for the grown ups. No fancy flavours. Walkers should refund all the retailers who have to throw away this rubbish.

The Sensations range used to be intense but these days are very lacking. These trial flavours are so bland that they are mostly "Potato with a hint of something" flavour. If you want a proper crisps experience I recently came across McCoy's Firepit Sizzlers. WOW! (and no I don't work for KP).Tregbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423273817698917302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804241257588608240.post-70456974215171013152014-09-20T02:11:00.967+01:002014-09-20T02:11:00.967+01:00I absolutely loved this flavour..

You're right they do have dried parsley in the ingredients.

Also, why bother saying it's 'ranch' if you're not going to add like, any ranch powder? I was expecting nice ranch crisps with a bit of a 'meaty' aftertaste or something, instead I got buckshot venison crisps with a bad sour cream aftertaste.<br /><br />Not pleasant at all! No in my family could stomach them, we had to just toss the mini bag, and I hate wasting food, haha.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00729214388642720352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804241257588608240.post-74906156105179239162014-09-03T18:26:27.146+01:002014-09-03T18:26:27.146+01:00well i think i said elsewhere that i found these &...well i think i said elsewhere that i found these 'ok' - but not disgusting like you did - none of the flavours have been particularly interesting to eat.Daniellenoreply@blogger.com
