You must be too young to remember Blue was always Salt and Vinegar, and green was Cheese and Onion when I was a lad. Walkers changed this for some
unknown reason.

They are different colours? I just read the packet and eat them, no mistake then!
I mean you never want to open a packet expecting S & V and get C & O that causes all sorts of taste bud issues!
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

The should be blue. And further more, they shouldn't be walkers - they should be Seabrooks, with ridiculous amounts of tangyness in the
crinkles!

BBC: Potato Crisps - A History
For example, ready-salted crisps were sold in dark blue packets, salt and vinegar in light blue and cheese and onion in green. Walkers decided to
throw the cat among the pigeons in the 1980s when they relaunched their product; they changed the colour of their packets to blue for cheese and onion
and green for salt and vinegar.
Seems many other people think the new colours are wrong as well

To my knowledge its only walkers that use green for S&V
All the other manufacturers cant be worng surely its just walkers trying to be different and increase sales by people going for the green pack
expecting C&O getting S&V then having to go back and buy another bag of crisps to get the ones they want.

See,
that's what I like - referring to the colours launched in the 1980's as new!! They were 2 1/2p a packet when I used to buy them at school
(and chips were 2p as well)

I did that after making that mistake twice.
The second time I wasn't expecting bacon... 'orrible stuff that it's not nice when you eat it and then it reminds you about it with
every tiny burp!

You are all too young, crisps were Smiths and came with a little blue paper wrap full of damp salt. Cheese and Onion were in green packets, I
don't think Salt and Vinegar were invented. Golden Wonder were "new upstarts" and they tasted funny anyway. At least Walkers when
they arrived in our part of the world tasted OK even if they were a bit thin. I delivered Sunday papers with my dad for years on two packets of Smiths
plain crisps and a bottle of pop. He used to bring them out to the car from the pub he was delivering the papers to always complaining that they were
so slow in finding the money. Yes, I was that daft as a 9 year old. Finally progressed to a cornish pasty and a shandy - now that was grown up.
Regards
Keith
