Smiths - Frazzles

Although something has changed since the glory days of what I would consider to be Smiths flagship crisps (yes, even more than Salt N Shake – that sizeable stronghold of the snack seas set sail a long while ago!)
back when I was a nipper, Frazzles are still the archetypal bacon flavour crisp – the blueprint for all pleasure products pork! 


Yes, they’re a little smaller than I recall, yes they’re a bit firmer between the teeth these days and yes, the distinct ruddy stripes that should clearly adorn them are looking more like faded go-faster stripes on a clapped out XR2i…BUT that moreish salty bacon hit and corn crunch still pack a taste punch and really hit the spot. 


With pub snack Bacon Fries also on the Smiths* menu, I’m wondering whether Mr Smith was originally a breakfast chef or a master butcher. Either way, Frazzles are the current daddy of bacon crisps**. 9/10

*Yes we know Smiths is a Walkers brand!
**Unless my ol’ favourite Bacon flavour Football Crazy’s are back (which as we go to press, they are not).

An absolutely rubbish product. No flavour whatsoever and tastes like cardboard. Will not repurchase

Loved Tomato Frazzles . They made a brief appearance then disappeared. I also remember Skips came out originally as sweet n sour then changed to prawn cocktail.

I usually love frazzles but now not only have they reduced pack size by a quarter but they are totally tasteless at least when they were a bit salty they did have a bacon flavour now like tasteless cardboard please please bring back the flavour as this was my favourite crisp I think Walkers have ruined these wether for proffit or some other reason you are cuttingtour own throat as people will vote with their feet and stop buying your substandard products
