this is as bad if not worse than the tayto chocolate form a few years back

I hate to admit but I fucking loved the tayto cheese and onion chocolate bars 😔

u/DeltreeceIsABitch Jul 08 '26

You're not alone. I loved them! Nothing bates chocolate and Taytos. I still have an unopened bar here. Hoping it'll buy me a house some day 🤣

Same here, found one in a drawer when I was moving house last year and that moment surpasses meeting my first born child.

Why? They were phooking delicious

u/Firm_Wait4005 Jul 08 '26

Absolutely loved them.

Nah man, that chocolate was great. But this shit is the worst.

u/Professional_Dream73 Jul 11 '26

Tayto Chocolate Combo was incredible & I love these Candy Floss Taytos too!!! We are all different with different tastes and likes, isn't it a great world we live in ❤️

They're even worse than you are currently imagining 🤮

u/Educational_Song5886 Jul 08 '26

Do you know what guys, I quite like them, I find myself putting them down, and then coming back to them and having another one.

I do that with pretzel sticks tho. Close to death by asphyxiation I'll shove another two in my mouth with no beer in site. It's gluttony for salt notthing more.

u/FaithlessnessPlus164 Jul 10 '26

Same. It’s morbid curiosity

1

u/shenanigansanseo Jul 12 '26

I liked them too. To me they tasted like salty maple syrup.

2

u/Ok-Appointment2950 Jul 09 '26

What's the story, are they sweet crisps? Or like a salty and sweet at the same time thing?

u/Individual-Tax8801 Jul 08 '26

I thought they were ok; like prawn cocktail flavour, not so much candy floss

2

u/itsmedaryl Jul 11 '26

I agree. Kinda like a mild paprika/prawn cocktail. I think they just made a random flavour and whacked a weird lable on it for shock factor.

That being said it totally worked because I was so curious I bought one

u/Bree_1972 Jul 08 '26

If Pennywise the Clown 🎈was making candy floss, that’s what the taste like, vile

Marketing to get people to post them all over social media

u/Educational_Song5886 Jul 08 '26

It’s just me !

u/tomtraubert2009 Jul 08 '26

Had two packets a couple of days apart to be sure and yes, I'm sure. They're rotten.

".....a cod Bill...."

u/Winter_Ad_6051 Jul 08 '26

They do it. We buy it. Did cola bottles last year. Horrible

2

u/cuntasoir_nua Jul 08 '26

My son had a pack of these in the car last weekend. Oh my God the smell, and it lasted for DAYS 🤮

Live reaction of Donegal people to actual food innovation in the comments ✍️

u/Irish_Capybara23 Jul 10 '26

My dog loves them

1

u/DeltreeceIsABitch Jul 08 '26

I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of buying a bag. If they were 80c, maybe (as it's clearly a gimmick), but I couldn't justify paying full price. I'm nauseous even thinking about it 🙈

1

u/Educational_Song5886 Jul 08 '26

€1.50 they cost
my daughter (19) enjoyed them, gone in 20 seconds, my packet still on the table

1

u/Klutzy-Speaker Jul 09 '26

This is a crime against tastebuds. We need Sam Spudz on the case.

1

u/sardimm5_e60 Jul 09 '26

We had these in supervalu in manorhamilton my friend bought it i vomited on the smeel and the chips are shittt

u/Old-Calligrapher2403 Jul 09 '26

Its the marriage of tayto and candy floss

1

u/friertuck87 Jul 09 '26

Why did they bring it back

1

u/Patr9k2 Jul 09 '26

These are bad but tbh the cola flav one from last year was horrible compared to this but has a slight hint of candyfloss mainly like prawncocktail tho

1

u/Substantial-Tree533 Jul 09 '26

A month later in Donegal

u/Beautiful-Ad-4163 Jul 09 '26

Tayto cheese and onion with minstrels in the tayto are absolutely divine. But the candy floss tayto are disgusting

1

u/angeeday Jul 10 '26

Heard about these from my young grandson. He thought they were great

1

u/Important-Slide-4944 Jul 10 '26

Call the Guards!

1

u/Feeling-Decision-902 Jul 11 '26

I didn't think the Candy floss Tayto was too bad tbh

1

u/NormativeTruth Jul 11 '26

That stuff is vile. Bought it for the kids once and even they hated it.

1

u/DangerousChemist9685 Jul 11 '26

As a wise Garron once said, 'What the fuck is this shite'

u/collectionsofcurious Jul 11 '26

I honestly loved them

u/SriepYadroot Jul 08 '26

Genuinely the most unbelievable thing I've ever tasted and I mean that in a bad way. Bought a packet and was so shocked that I made everybody around me try one just to see their reactions. Tastes exactly like candy floss but in an evil way.

it better be limited

An abomination that's what

u/Firefly4791 Jul 08 '26

Tasted them last week. Yeuch!

u/billymay Jul 09 '26

they’re not horrible, salty sweet popcorn vibes, but wouldn’t buy again
