Branners Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 they are all trying to make their crisps healthier by removing fats. Sadly the fats make the taste and the only crisps that seem to have survived the transformation are Hula Hoops. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Monster munch are smaller because they thought it gave people more value as there were more crips per bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Far less chemical flavour enhancers are being used, the western palette had to adjust to this, this also includes less salt, all these things give greater 'flavour', remember the crisps with the blue salt bag with a days worth of salt intake inside, i do and crisps tasted great back then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harps Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 What flavour did the 3rd flavour of Monster Munch use to be? Now its Roast Beef, Pickled Onion (legendary) and Flamin' Hot. What was the third before Flamin' Hot?! Its been bugging me for ages (well not really, but I do occasionally wonder) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanchan Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 they are all trying to make their crisps healthier by removing fats. Sadly the fats make the taste and the only crisps that seem to have survived the transformation are Hula Hoops. JB I'm sure Hula Hoops are proud of the 55% reduced fat or something in them. Aren't they?? They're proud of reduced something. As for Monster Munch getting smaller, it's the same as Creme Eggs. They're getting smaller and smaller, and one day they'll disappear.
