IT'S BEING SO LONG! WALKERS CRISPS REVIEW: MAX STRONG RANGE!

For Years, Ireland has being getting the Royal Shaft bu Walker's Crisps. You'd remember that every year I would review the new limited flavours every year?

Well it's being years since I reviewed the last batch Since Walkers HAVEN'T BOTHERED TO RELEASE THEM IN IRELAND!

No I tell a lie.
They do sell them in Ireland...
in #JUSTDUBLIN! AND #JUSTBELFAST!

and Sure, Enniscorthy is not that far from Dublin, But If you were me, would you really drop everything, change your plans and hop on a bus...just to buy a packet of crisps, THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SOLD NATIONWIDE?

so a compromise, I'm reviewing there Brand new Permanent Range over the Flavours of The Decade Limited Editions, Which I will probably never see. And even though these a new, once again, Paddy gets The DICK from England, Old Buoy! as they had it for 6 months!

So lets make do with what we got!
Walkers Max Strong Are intended to be Pub Crisps and the compliment to lager. They are Ridged crisps that are very spicy, and should not be sold to children!

To get a full scale of what i'm in for, that's exactly what i am doing, Power Scaling, that is. starting with the least spicy and working up

 CHILLI AND LIME
Package colour: Green Shield on Black
Calories: 226
Heat Rating: Medium
A Few Crisps in and i am already choking! Flavour 3 is going to be a bitch! However this flavour is enjoyable with a milky brew in tow, and it's not as Caustic as the other flavours

CHICKEN WINGS
Package colour: Burgundy Shield on black
Calories: 665
Heat Rating: Hot!
Bold, Robust bbq sauce with a slow burn is the name of the game! Hot, but enjoyable!

JALAPENO AND CHEESE
Package colour: Yellow Shield on Black
Calories: 226
Heat Rating: VERY HOT!
As hot and Caustic as it is, This flavour is played out! Translation: Every snack company and it's Mammie has a Jal/cheese combo! It's so saturated by other companies. it doesn't seem that hit anymore since we are used to it! You can also blame Walker's use of Local (BUT CLEARLY NOT THEIR POTATOES!...OK I'M CALM!) Ingredients, namely high milk content cheese like Cheddar and Double Gloucester fans the flame a lot in this flavour!

And that's it!
The road to 400 posts begins today with this, the 381st post! it means that the 10 episodes of world of sport, Mitb, Summerslam are going to push me to 400 either before 2018 ends or January of next year, and that's just the reviews that are locks!
