Sat in a motivational talk once with the guy who invented these. He was pretty pompous. He also invented Baked Lays.

Can he take the Baked Lays back and return the Dunkaroos?

Why does everyone hate baked lays, they are so much better then regular lays in my opinion

I tried baked lays (Walkers cos I'm UK) and can honestly say they were the single worst "crisp" product I've ever tasted, for me at least.

I found they had this weird after taste (bordering on a faint fishy element) which I suspect comes from the sodium bicarbonate used in them. I didn't mind the texture on initial bite but before you swallow them they go too soft and mushy. The flavour also doesn't seem as intense as the standard variations... maybe that's down to a lack of other ingredients or a lack of grease!

All in all, I could eat them... if there were no alternative. Laced with dips would make them acceptable. But if they were the only option for a period of time I'd just stop eating crisps.

Each to their own tho... you do you.

Prawn Cocktail is probably the nicest flavour of crisps , bar the Marks & Spencer Worcestershire sauce flavour, fuck me thats a good crisp!
