If you're reading this Walkers executive you owe me a bag of crisps
Contents of a packet of sensations. 5 crisps and a ball of seasoning(?)
And a whole box of seasoning
Chance would be a fine thing
A fine thing, indeed.
Saying that too often now.
That's fine thing too
Where do management go?
Tickety Boo!
I used to work for Walkers customer services (a long time ago) and they would definitely sent you vouchers if you’d complained.
Come on, Mark. Write to Walkers - or have they nobbled you?
Personally, I think you won a bit of a lotto - free flavouring for a fair few bags of crisps there. Could put some on your first course of toast - you've been given the keys the kingdom, son. Explore!
editing out word salad
Many food companies do have customer service line for this exact reason. They also tout “100% satisfaction guaranteed” on their packaging. Just go email them.
I sent them an auto response offering them to come and sit on your hairy dick....joke
Could try roasting a chicken with it I guess.
Or they'll just send him plain crisps since he's got all the seasoning he needs
I got a rubber glove/PPE in a walker variety pack a while after the pandemic started.
They gave us sooooooo many boxes of crisps we didn't need any for months.
I even explained on the call that I'm not after anything and not complaining but it's important they're aware of what's happened especially due to the pandemic situation we were all involved in.
Anyways, was very kind of them 🙃
You will have helped them identify a production or procedural fault so I suppose it's fair really.
I worked in the 90's for an Environmental Health team at a Local Authority and company's like Walkers and Marks & Spencer would ask us for customer details to send them a gift. They got hampers and loads of money off vouchers.
Honestly that sounds suspiciously close to bribery
Oh absolutely - staff always asked the customer if it was OK to pass on their details. If they agreed then it would happen, some did not want them to get in touch which was also cool. However, they were all told that they were probably going to get some sort of 'apology' gift.
If I recall, M&S were they best ones at grovelling with gifts. They simply didn't want people to advertise for example, that they had found a piece of factory machinery in their Percy Pigs!
Oh they sent it to the customers! I thought they were trying to send gifts to the local authority. I feel less bad about it now.

It might be something like "rubber gloves must be counted out and back in after any maintenance task", or in this case "flavouring powder boxes must be thoroughly shaken before loading into the hopper".
One of my friends worked as a quality manager at a factory producing detergents. They would investigate something like this to try to see if there is a root cause which can be better controlled, even down to things like too much glue making the package difficult to open.
Did they ask for proof? 🫣
😁 Sure did. They sent a package with a prepaid postage bag. All went in that and back to them
I mean - during the pandemic if you made an official report they would have had to literally halt production until they figured out how it got in there - health and safety incidents were wild at that point. *huge* losses. They really wanted to keep you happy.
This is a myth.
I found a 2 inch shard of razor sharp, thick plastic in a pot of coleslaw (perfectly disguised as a slice of cabbage) and they sent me £1.50 to buy another one.
I'm not sure how long a box of coleslaw would keep.
Probably depends on the supplier. We had problems with a couple of packets of Ringo's being empty in a multipack. Informed them and they sent us two medium sized boxes of them, cheese and onion and salt and vinegar. Did us for a month or so.
Not Walkers coleslaw though. Walkers are notoriously generous when they've buggered up. That sucks though. I hope you weren't hurt.
I feel I've been traumatised and possibly suffering PTSD (Post Traumatic Slaw Disorder) which prevents me from eating crunchy foods to every again.
But they didn't fall for that unfortunately
(In all seriousness if I'd managed to swallow that I'd have been fucked)
I just found an inch size piece of glass in either some chicken or salad from sainsburys, bit down on it and thought it was bone - luckily it didn't cut me and I didn't die during the night after having swallowed some. They apologised for the inconvenience...
Not a myth, just depends on the company and how you are when you complain
I think it depends on the brand. A few years ago, I bought some Mr. kipling cherry bakewells, and when I pulled them out of the box, they had clearly been chewed on by rats or mice. Clear tooth marks in them and in the foil cups they come in. I contacted customer service, and they sent someone to come get them after I sent them photos. They came back and said it was 'production line damage' and gave me a voucher to buy one singular box. I owned pet rats at the time and knew exactly what their tooth marks looked like. This box hadn't been anywhere near them, and I'd never let them eat that. I wasn't upset about the issue because I get that shit happens, and it could have been something that happened outside the factory, but I was more insulted that they thought they could lie to me about it. Ended up getting environmental health involved, and they agreed the images looked like rodent chew marks, and they did an investigation. After that, I got more vouchers but never an apology. I never used the vouchers and gave them to a family member. Another time, I had a severe allergic reaction to a face cleanser that caused all the skin on my face to blister and basically peel off. Sent that company photos, and they refunded me plus an additional payment for compensation. They also recalled that batch in case there was an issue with the active ingredients. I still buy from that brand because of how they handled the issue, I just don't use their face cleanser.
“This is a myth because I didn’t get anything in my situation”?
It's a joke man
So your example of it being untrue is made up? I don’t get it
I don't really think it's a myth. I'm just in a strop because I got nothing
Tyrrell's (back in the good old days pre-sale) sent me 48 bags of assorted stuff for the same issue.
It's detritus that attaches to the rotor column that keep the chips moving in the fryer.
I complained to Kellogg's about an issue with one of their cereals, could narrow it down to a specific quality code on the affected boxes which allowed them to identify where the issue was happening. I think I had bought about 20 boxes of practically inedible cereal during this time. They thanked me by sending me a voucher for 1 box of cereal.
I complained after finding a sharp piece of plastic in one of those lunch wraps.
For compensation they.... Refunded the wrap... Could've choked or torn up my insides and all I got was the opportunity to risk it all over again!
I once complained to Mondelez about their sour patch kids being EXTREMELY bitter and they sent me a £1 coupon…the postage alone costs more. Insulting considering I helped them do a recall of a really bad batch.
My dad did the same and they gave him a whole book of vouchers for free crisps
I got a huge lump of sugar in my cereal recently, told Kelly's via Twitter and they sent me £4 in vouchers
I once complained to Golden Virginia and they sent me a brick, which would cost about 200 quid now
I complained to them about a similar thing recently and they gave me 2 x £5 vouchers for their products that I forgot to use before they expired.
The elusive ambercris
Whale oil beef hooked
This works on so many levels hahaha
Elusive hamburgers?
I pronounce ambergris as hamburgers in my head because of this scene
Brilliant
Ready salted carcinoma
Thank you for eliciting a proper belly-laugh this morning.
Looks like a cat shat in your packet of crisps.
A fat cat at that.
Tasty shit though. You could use it to make wedges.
Forbidden car litter
I got this once with a giant blob of Flamin Hot Monster Munch seasoning. I was truly a god among men.
I got it with beef Hula Hoops about 18 years ago. I thought it was going to be amazing, but I woke up shrieking in the front garden with a giant adrenaline syringe sticking out of my chest and a mafia boss's girlfriend stood over me... that might have been Pulp Fiction actually, but it's close enough.

Remember the case that Vincent and jules take? It had beef hula hoops inside. Don’t believe me? Watch it again
Did you carry it before you in a plinth into battle?
That sounds amazing
What did you do with this mighty fiery nugget? One lick a day or just nommed it in one?
Nommed in one? Are you completely insane? I nibbled on it once or twice a day and occasionally used it as pasta flavoring
I’ve had that before. It was worth more than a nugget of gold!
I remember once getting a seasoning ball in salt and vinegar crinkled mini cheddars, I went from being incredibly excited to almost throwing up in a matter of seconds.
Best crisp experience I had was with a multi pack bag of those cheap walkers knock offs like 'wonders' or something, but one of the bags was absolutely crammed with crisps, it must have had about 6 bags worth in one. The fact I can remember it almost 15 years later shows you how much it meant to me
I’d eat that salt n vinegar ball until my eyes bled.
Why was it so vomit inducing?
I think the amount of seasoning in a ball would be hundreds of times the total seasoning in a bag of not more, having it in one mouthful is like eating a tablespoon of pure salt and msg, it was like my body just wanted to reject it. Also the actual flavour was vile, a tiny amount tastes great but when you eat a lump of it the flavour is different, dunno why it was just not what I expected at all
That makes perfect sense. Some shattered dreams right there
Don’t be so defeatist, I’d still try it
Oh, I’m game.
I just won’t open a bag praying for a salt vinegar ball of pain anymore
Are you old enough to remember when disco crisps did wee packets of extra salt and vinegar seasoning for a while? Those things haunt my dreams, I pray they return
The disco dust at the bottom is the stuff. Really eye watering stuff or atleast it used to be
Never had a packet of flavouring though, that must have been amazing
Reminds me when you would get wotsits and one of them would have a big lump of cheese flavouring on them
The fact I can remember it almost 15 years later shows you how much it meant to me
Something like 23 years ago I helped the lunch ladies out so they gave me an extra burger*. Best day of my primary school life.
\thin, meat-adjacent circle on a bread bun with a small dollop of ketchup)
In a wet plastic tub
First thing I had on hand sorry
- Quick, get something to put it in!
~ There's... this plastic tub here! should I dry it?
- There's no time!
Can't gold, would gold
I like to imagine that the plastic tub was also inside of the packet for maximum confusion
The sensation of disappointment.
I'm seeing 5 1/2 crisps. Admit it, you've already scoffed half a crisp.
I'm not counting the one that's split in half 😂
That's what I thought this was from when it showed up.
Ball of seasoning also known as cat shit 😂
I'm sure there was someone on Reddit not that long ago that found a huge lump of Monster Munch seasoning and everyone was like 'eat it' lol
I'm sure it looked a bit more appealing than this one haha
It was Roast Beef Monster Munch
Clicked on that link and now my mouth is watering uncontrollably.
I can't even look at it without the back of my tongue tingling lol Pure essence of monster munch
Boof it
You've already eaten it haven't you?
Just the seasoning
Someone shit in your crisps I think
I can only dream of finding the same in a packet of Salt and Vinegar Discos. If I were to lick it, I could probably see time.
As a discos flavour tech I'm gonna say, you would regret that decision lmao
I'd pay money for the seasoning ball.
One time I got a frazzle that was all bacon seasoning, no corn. My word it was great.
I had similar happen with the Max crisps. They said it was ‘flavour build up’ and sent me £6 walkers vouchers 🤣
How does that season rate, measuring it on the Bristol Stool Scale?
I usually see a ball of seasoning photo and think “mmmm, flavour” but this looks more like the contents of a nappy
Gary Lineker’s World Cup 1990 pitch poo
How was that ball of seasoning?
It tasted distinctly of sweet chilli
Congrats, you've chosen to whine about this in the one way that the company probably won't compensate you!
I sent an email already haha
I bet you gave the seasoning ball a little nibble.
You're confidence it those being seasoning balls is thrilling!
You should send that picture to them. They might send you a whole bunch for free as an apology.
So... why didnt you notice before you bought the bag
Probably doesn't have x-ray vision?
Multi pack magic
Looks like someone's taken a shit in your tuppleware
I would put that whole ass spicy ball in my mouth
I'll never eat crisps again🤮🤮🤮
Keep the seasoning ball and mix it into some pasta or make some kind of sauce with it! You could make something amazing!
The sensation I would feel is rage, deep fried rage.
Lick it and report back, you know you want to
Get yourself a fryer and some spuds and you will have an almost unlimited supply of beautifully flavoured Sensations.
Nah that didn’t happen.
Looks like the new cirrhotic liver flavour crisps aren't quite taking off.
The machine dispenses them by weight in the bag so when the blob of seasoning fell in it decided it’s done.
I think that’s Hitler’s lost ball.
Pint of larger and a packet of crisps and turds
I dare you to eat the seasoning ball
Why don’t I get thing like this, I’ve always wanted a. All of seasoning. Essentially chilli heatwave Doritos
That criminal, get in touch with them and complain to gain freebies.
But also stop paying too much for crisps. A 40/45g bag of crisps is like, £1+ now. Multi packs are something like 25-30g, a mouthful of crisps at best. Buy yourself the 150g bags when they're discounted and use a scales to weigh a third every day, get a full bag of crisps every day for the equivalent of 50p per pack.
The spice...
put it in your soup
The seasoning balls look like they belong in your bed pan... 😄
Ah yes..."seasoning"
Their packaging also looks a little different
More crisps than I usually get in a pack
Dare you to scran that whole nugget.
Your head'll fall off.
You know what you have to do
Looks like a kebab lol. Oh I miss sensations crisps.Yet fighting for freedom and justice, is more important. Stay safe and you deserve to get a whole box full for free.
i’m the weirdo that would still eat it
I can send it to you if you like
I once had a regular bag of wotsits that was just a couple of wotsits and a fairly substantial ROCK of flavouring powder at the bottom. This was 15 years ago and I still think about it today, every bag of crisps I open I hope has another flavour rock. What a dream.
Just stick it in your cheek like tobaccy and ya got flavour all day long. Fingernails- flavour. Bogeys- flavour. Pencil-flavour. Plain crisps - flavour.
Golden.
The sensation I'm getting is rage.
Ball of seasoning. Me and my brother use to just call it "taste".
Look like dookey
I'd KILL for this. I've always wished I could buy packets of seasoning and no crisps. Especially Skips! What flavour were they, OP?
Thai sweet chilli 🙂
Super jealous!
Looks more like 5 crisps and a broken up turd
Looks like doodoo
Yeah....seasoning
Don’t show us, show their customer service department. They should hook you up with some coupons.
That's not seasoning. The company stopped their employees from taking toilet breaks....
That is six crisps.
You hope that’s seasoning…..
Jackpot! I love the big chunks of seasoning. Especially in space raiders
The sensation of bein scammed
You hit the flavour bomb jackpot! Mix up some noodles and chuck those bad boys in the water
Sniff before scoff. Just in case it’s shit.
This is due to the ball of seasoning as bags are filled by machine according to weight. Complain and they will compensate you.
Crusty dog shit included in ever pack
Neat, you got a free ball of seasoning along with the normal contents of a crisp packet these days
Id say this would put me off eating crisps.
But who am I kidding I fucking love crisps
You might be the winner of a secret Walkers competition where you get a tour of the factory then get to see Gary Lineker's secret underground mansion where he plots world domination by the woke deep state through football punditry and crisp adverts. So I heard from Matt le Tissier at least.
finishes fastening belt
yeah sniff it's a er... a.. peers into tub yeah it's a ball of seasoning cough
Had that in some sensations chicken the other day. Fuck the crisps, that ball is pure heaven.
Boil that up and, brother, you've got a stew cooking
Who buys walkers they’re crap I walked away from them over 10 years ago
Reverse engineer it and you too would be able to make crisps that taste nothing like what it says on the packet.
As long as the weight of the packet is right, it’s all legal 🤣
My mum's always complaining you don't get a lot in a bag these days...
Looks like a woodland falafel
Sensation-al
Sell it on eBay.
A ball of seasoning ... Or a disgruntled employee
Yank here. Probably my most frustrating snack in the UK. Such great flavors of crisps, and only a few in a bag then they sell huge bags of little bags. With 5 chips. It is all packaging.
Love the varieties, but do prefer American crisps bag sizes.
Its a tad odd that you saw an empty one and then bought it. Its clear lol
Complain to them, there's a good chance they ship a whole box of crisps to you.
