Why do they make prawn cocktail crisps?

[ianrauk]

My local coffee shop is selling these

Basically they are Quaver Hula Hoops.
Work colleague bought a bag. I tried one... they wont catch on. Can't see the point.

We get these crisps at work, I have never seen them in any shops, but in a couple of pubs. They are really tasty with a few different flavours. The Chorizo flavoured one are yummy.

Vile. Even the dog won't eat them. Nasty things.

Why not hide all the other crisps up and only give the kids the choice of prawn cocktail or nothing?

Slightly cruel but I do like it lol.

This is just the kind of woolly-minded 'tolerant' namby-pamby liberalism that is reducing our once-proud nation to an international laughing stock and object of pity and contempt. People who like prawn cocktail crisps should be thrashed soundly until they see the error of their ways. People who make them should be forced to attend compulsory re-education classes. And whoever it was that first thought them up should be hunted down and shot.

That is all.

Uh.... Huh....... Just keep taking the medication!

I didn't realise Prawn Cocktail was the marmite of crisp flavours, they seem to be causing move of a divide than actual marmite flavour crisps!

Top two of the normal flavour range for me has to be Salt & Vinegar and Prawn Cocktail.

Burts Guinness crisps are amazing but only seem to come in annoyingly large bags.

i very rarely eat crisps, as in maybe 1 pack a year but often not even that. but after my college interview the other day on the way home i was a bit peckish so stopped at a vending machine and bought a pack of walkers baked salt and vinegar. good crisps and better than the usual walkers, just they weren't the salt a vingar i though i had bought, when i looked at the packet once i had opened them they were cheese and onion! :O for me salt and vingar is still the best flavour

if i were to eat crisps more often do you think i wouldn't have made this tragic mistake?

I don't mind prawn cocktail crisps but i don't think they taste much like prawns. Though they do have a hint of Marie Rose sauce which is probably what they aim for.

Ah yes, the old trick they play on the unsuspecting where they change the colour of the packets round, so Cheese and Onion is blue, and Salt and Vinegar is green.

Awful, just awful I say!!

To be fair, I was a bit surprised too, although I have heard things before about it.

Basically though, if you don't like Prawn Cocktail Crisps then you are nothing but a gigantic nit wit who should only be allowed out with a carer!!

Prawn cocktail crisps don't contain prawns, I'm shocked....................Next they'll be telling us there is no Hedgehog in the Hedgehog flavoured ones.
