A few months ago Lays introduced English Salt and Vinegar crisps to the Thai market.

Whilst not quite as good as those back home they were an acceptable alternative. Now it seems they have simply vanished from supermarket shelves I can't find them anywhere in Pattaya.

Anybody know where I can still buy them or indeed why they have been withdrawn?

With the big Union Jack on the front?

They've dissapeard from the shelves in Phuket too.

They didn't taste anything like salt and vinegar - smell was similar but tasted like BBQ.

Not surprised they disappeared.

No longer available in Bangkok either as far as I can see.

Lays having been introducing numerous flaours recently mostly aimed at the local market. This is also true up in China from what i can see.

I would not have thought it would have been economical to have so many flavours especially as imo a blind taste test would leave the consumer being unable to differentiate one from another or even come close to identifying the flavour

I thought they were great!!!!

No no, they were crap,with real Salt and Vinigar crisps you get that numb tongue, burnt lips feel after you've finished the packet, Ooooh what I wouldn't give for a packet of Walkers!

Typically watered down crap from the US. Good riddance to them.

The Aussie supermarket on the way to Jomtien usually stocks all the Walkers brand flavors including S&V from the UK, B40 a bag,

How can you water down crisps?

McCoys....S&V..............

It seems to me that the favourite flavour is BBQ hereabouts.

Pour some vinegar over salted fried locusts and you will never know the difference.

The little M&S dispensery at the Siam Centre usually has their (decent) version of salt and vinegar chips for sale. Used to pick up a couple of packets there before going to the cinemas at siam discovery.

depends on where you come from...same same in Aust.

Samboy chips/crisps same thing.

Rimping in Chiang Mai sells "Real McCoy" S&V chips. However, they're from Australia, so after a few bites, your lips try to form the word "mate.' Also, they can't spell correctly the word "flavored.'

Been to a few hotel restaurants and ordered steak and chips and been served crisps. Silly me for being fooled twice.

Nope...if you look on the McDick's menu, it says fries, not chips. The correct term is Potato Chips my retarded friend.

They were invented by a Native American in 1853...and he called them "Saratoga Chips", named after the region he was from. The term "Chips" was coined by the inventor, thus that is the correct name.
