This can take years, taking into account consumer feedback and input from our taste testers, packaging engineers and production specialists.

Do you still make the crisps with the blue salt sachet?

We certainly do! They’re called Smiths ‘Salt & Shake’. Each pack contains a blue sachet of salt, so you can add as much or little salt as you like, if any!

Walkers crisps seem to be getting smaller, is there a reason?

Answer:

The size of our crisps completely depend on the size of our potatoes. If your crisps have seemed smaller it is likely that the potatoes in that harvest were smaller.

Answer:

We’re often asked this! Our Salt & Vinegar and Cheese & Onion flavour crisps packs have always been the colours they are today. Contrary to popular belief, we’ve never swapped the colours around, not even temporarily. We’ve no plans to change these designs, as they’re signature to our brand.

Answer:

Cheese & Onion may not be meaty, but it’s our most popular Walkers Crisps flavour! We know everyone’s tastes are different however, and we’re always listening to consumers’ feedback.

Why are the colours of your Salt & Vinegar / Cheese & Onion Squares packs the opposite way round to Walkers Crisps?

Answer:

Squares were originally produced by Smiths, before becoming part of Walkers in 1989. So to avoid confusion, we’ve left their classic pack colours unchanged.
