Golden Wonder

[escargot]

Where have they gone?

I've always been a huge fan of the Cheese & Onion variety but really, you can hardly find them any more. In fact, the only place that does sell them near me is the local taxi office's vending machine.

What's happened?

[tomTVR]

Probably those same bds who took all the Brannigans!

[RDM]

Did TAYTO (Ireland) not buy them over?

I thought Golden Wonder make the majority of own brand crisps for the supermarkets these days.

The answer is on their website, right on the front page:

Golden Wonder crisps are widely available in supermarkets and independent stores in Scotland

walkers bough golden wonder a while ago, theyre probably slowly killing them off. You cant beat a packet of tomato sauce flavour GW after a round of golf

That's not an answer. Why are they no longer available in England?

Sounds about right - own brand crisps have the same thin, greasy qualities that made GW so unappealing back then.

Utter rubbish. Walkers bought Wotsits, but GW were bought by Tayto

Come on boys - we all know that in this price category, Seabrook, are the best crisps.

[escargot]

I agree as it happens, but they're readily available. GW aren't (for me), leading to cravings.

I was about to say, "what are you on about, they're all over the place"

Golden wonder Cheese and onion flavour are the food of the gods.
The taste is far superior to that of Walkers (IMO).

Any one is Sctochland who wants to send some down?

The GW factory in Scunthorpe was taken over by TAYTO but as far as I know still makes GW crisps for distribution everywhere.
