Sorry- I don't get it.

Prawn ocean? No? What is it supposed to be?

hahaha I didn't even attempt to type in c0cktail, just typed in ocean cause I knew it'd change it.

It is actually called prawn cqcktail? (My own creative twist here).

That sounds like a strange combination for a chip flavour... Drink-flavoured potato..??

no not c)cktail as in drink

Think prawn marie rose (prawns in thousand island dressing/seafood sauce) and you're almost there...it's supposed to taste like that but doesn't quite. Still nice though

Salt 'n Vinager is in yellow, cheese is in orange pickle is in green, sour cream and onion is in a light green and ketchup is in red...

Chips anyway.

Maybe when you work with crisps it effects your eyesight???

Sorry-- what were we talking about again? *wink*

Meryaten, you no doubt remember Golden Wonder crisps, or perhaps Smiths crisps. And you're quite right, cheese 'n' onion was always green and salt 'n' vinegar was always blue. Those brands have now been almost completely usurped by Walkers, whose colour scheme is exactly the opposite (but just for those two flavours I think). Extremely confusing for us ex-pats but I'm getting used to it...

With apologies for wandering off topic

Salt and Vinegar in a green bag?!? It's official- the world's gone mad!

after all this time I still have to double check crisps bags for colour...I still think in Golden Wonder terms with green for cheese and onion and blue for salt n vinegar.

I think the best crisps ever, but they don't make them anymore, is KP's crispy bacon crisps...

See- even food has an 'accent'. It comes with a crisps language all its own. Walkers, prawn ocean, salt 'n vinager in a blue bag-- its all Greek to me

I could just eat some Monster Munch pickled onion flavour right now

There used to be a vanilla flavour a few years ago...not so good

Oh, I remember fish 'n chips! They were nice.

Can't recall bones and fangs, though
