I am a self confessed addiction, I can eat a 12 pack in one day.
Here is a new flavour, Creamy forest mushroom.
Anyone have other unusual flavours?
Is that the American version of walkers? I love monster munch pickled onion the most :3
I think Lays bought the Walkers name.

Walkers was acquired by Pepsico in 1989 and chose to keep the UK branding going because it had such high market recognition here.
The Lays name had been in use outside the UK since 1970 when Walkers was sold to an American company called Standard Brands (who were acquired by Pepsico in 1989) and they used the Lays name to market outsude the UK as it had more market recognition there.
The product uses the Walkers process but the UK crisps are a bit different to the rest of the world (think US, Canada and Australia moslty) due to different local tastes.
I have found them here in Brazil and can confirm they taste close enough to Walkers to keep me happy.
