Yeah, I've had them and didn't realise they were the same thing. They don't seem as good or else my nostalgia receptors are messing up the taste memories again ;) No space pirates on these packs either - grrr!
Been eating them constantly and there's no big change with them really..maybe not quite as strong tasting, but then that could be my taste buds....
Ah I see. I've seen all those pictures of you on your bikes and taught you must work out. Now I see that all that supposed muscle was simply crisp fat.
Thought this was a bumped thread until I did my homework.
Golden Wonder p*sses (geddit) on Walkers flavour-wise (my spell checker wants me to spell it "flavor")
Aldi though, do Ridge crisps which I swear are the same as McCoys and they do these peanut flavo(u)r things which I haven't seen for a while and they do Pringles alternatives which (honestly) taste better and they're 85p for a large packet and NO I don't work for them (yet) :-)
On the mylar bags... I just think this is tremendously wasteful overpackaging. My Dad used to run a factory making the stuff, and it's quite a complex product of laminated plastic and aluminium. Aluminium is a very energy intensive material to make, and sandwiching it in plastic makes it very hard to recycle.
I wonder if the bags really make any difference in the usual life of a crisp packet (I would imagine the vast majority are sold well before the packaging makes a difference).

I've wondered if those new foil bags that crisps are sold in could cause long term health issues (as they contain alluminium)? What was wrong with the old cellophane bags?

i think the salt and fat will kill you long before the foil kills you. ;)

No, I'd also say they're not as strong these days, probably had some E numbers removed, or something!
I still see Transform-A-Snacks too, but I've not had a pack for years so have no idea what they're like now.
