"Walkers actually has the pedigree for cheese and onion, introducing the flavour in 1954, a full eight years before Golden Wonder followed suit in 1962. Despite this, the public view runs counter to the Walkers colour scheme, with 44% saying the cheese and onion colour should be green, whilst 30% say it should be blue. A further 10% say it should be yellow, which some of the gourmet crisp companies currently use (and, admittedly, makes thematically more sense when you think about it)." |

precisely, the EU had years to sort it out, but they kept banging on about human rights and global trade, no wonder people voted to leave |

"Salt and vinegar crisps in a blue bag!!!!
What else have you come across that irks you with its wrongness? "
I remember when walkers did that originally, was part of a joke/marketing campaign as they did it with lots of flavours by mixing up the colours. most returned to normal but salt & vinegar and cheese & onion stuck as opposites to the original.
now they are the only ones with green for s&v & blue for c&o.
probably is copyrighted/patented now though. |

"It's probably a generational thing - when I was growing up and before Walkers had conquered the crisp world - Salt & Vinegar was always blue and Cheese & Onion was green "
Yeah it was Smiths or KP back in the day
Oh, and Golden Wonder
Blue was Salt and Vinegar
Green was cheese and onion
Sappy's life was simple |

"Plain. Blue.
Chicken. Green
Salt and vinegar. Purple.
Anything else is simply unAustralian."
Coming from a country that doesn't do prawn cocktail precludes you from this discussion. |

Exactly that Sappster - simple always works best.
Also
Red = Ready Salted
Orangey Yellow = Chicken
Brown = Beef
Pink = Prawn Cocktail |

No Vicky ! No !
Cheese and Onion belong in a green bag.
Onion = Veg = Green.
Crisps have been that way all my life UNTIL ......
Stupid Walkers.
Cheese and Onion should NOT be in a blue bag..... Unless we are in Denmark and something tastes off.
No
Vicky !
No! |

Looking at the posts in the thread to date, it seems the majority favour C&O in a blue bag.
If I had my way anybody that disagrees can face upto 6 months having there "ideas re-aligned" at her majesty's pleasure in an unheated stone hut on Benbecula.
So job done , C&O in a blue bag |

yes, it did, 90's early 00's. I remember because I HATE cheese & onion , which was normally in the green packet even for walkers, I spat them all over the place.
