UK lemmings be piling in to explain how this is the best flavour in the world...
... Which it is
- I was always blown away by the wild chip flavors when I traveled to England as a kid. Monster Munch is a flavor unlike anything you can find stateside
  
  Monster Munch is a brand. They do a tangy pickled onion, roast beef, flaming hot, and a handful of others. Pickled Onion are incredible.
  
  Yeah but if someone says monster munch and doesn't specify the flavour you know they mean pickled onion.
  
  It's apparently not a universal opinion, but I reckon pickled onion are the all time best monster munch flavour. Beef and hot are both great too, but picked onion is best IDST
  Potentially more controversially, I rate them in a crisp sandwich situation too
  
  I... feel like my entire life has been a hollow waste. 😆
  We Americans really have a near total dearth of flavors in our processed foods. It's been getting better over recent decades, but it's still just industrial flavorings. The flavoring is just something Americans invented to cover up a lack of nutrients in our food. These processed foods have the added bonus of spurring us to eat more because the food is so nutritionally empty, yet tastes like it should be nutritive. Ref: "The Dorito Effect" by Mark Schatzker.
  
  Speaking of wild chips flavors, have you guys tried ketchup chips? It's mostly sold in Canada and it sounds like it would taste awful, but it's actually pretty good.
  
  walkers also does ketchup crisps here in the UK
  
  never liked monster munch as I don't like pickled onion but beef space raiders are great and they're the same sort of crisp if you've ever tried those
- nah prawn cocktails the best crisp flavour salt & vinegars alright too though I think I prefer pretty much any other flavour apart from bacon artificial bacon flavour is foul
  
  i'm still salty (and vinegary) over the fact UK is hogging the best crisp flavour which is indeed prawn cocktail. I need to go to the local "imported foods" store to get those and i'm at the mercy of my fellow countrymen to keep buying them so the store keeps restocking
  
  A prawn cocktailian? Here?
  Sir, I will have to ask you to step outside.
  
  As someone who always goes s&v I actually agree, however I have a couple s&v brands I really like, and have only been disappointed by prawn cocktail over the last decade. It used to be the best, but most crisp flavours have been getting more mild and losing their character and I think prawn cocktail has suffered this the most.
