I’d have to say that Chicken and mushroom is the original, and possibly still the best. The other big sellers originally were beef and tomato and curry flavour. The Bombay bad boy is more recent but a real big seller also. All are good but I think right now the favourites in the UK are usually either the chicken and mushroom or the Bombay Bad-boy. I haven’t ate in about 3 hours and now I’m hungry!.

So one of the things kids love to do in england is "pop the bag" of crisps. With a bit of practice you can clap your hands around them bag and open the crisps through pressure. You want to clap in an up and inwards motion so the top seal opens. Woostersheer or woostershur is how it's pronounced. By the way, it's more likely that the pressure differences popped the bags when the plane took off / landed than the beating of the box. I've had a few bags pop in my suitcase before now.

Here in the UK bacon isn't quite as popular as it is in the states, so those chips aren't very popular, they're usually still full stock in stores. Cheese and onion, salt and vinegar and ready salted are among the most popular. I like sour cream and onion, as well as cheese and onion. Something about the bitterness and sourness of onion works really well on a chip, as though it cuts through the starch.
