Now, I'm aure we'd all agree that these kind of things are very important. And so, a few weeks ago, we (myself and a few friends) decided to do the definitive survey on what was The Best Bacon Flavoured Snack Product.
We had: Bacon Wheat Crunchies, Frazzles, Smiths Bacon Fries, Walkers Bacon Crisps (our 'control' product) and a budget brand of nuclear-coloured bacon snacks (I think it may have been a Bobby's brand).
We tested them over the following criteria: appearance, taste, texture and 'other'.
The results were as follows:
1 - Smiths Bacon Fries,
2 - The budget ones (a surprise, that)
3- Frazzles (the way they gunk up your teeth let them down)
4- Walkers bacon crisps
5 - Bacon Wheat Crunchies.
It was felt, very strongly, that the Wheat Crunchy left a fishy aftertaste. One person was adamant that Wheat Crunchies were by far the best but conceded that, when tasted alongside other bacony things, they were below standard.
Thorough. Very thorough.
This weekend we are doing peanuts. On the list we have: KP Large Peanuts, Nobby Nuts, Morrisons large peanuts (the control), Lidl tinned peanuts (my particular favourites) and another brand yet to be decided (suggestions greatly appreciated. The only caveat is that they must be widely available. No dry-roasted. No cashews. Plain salted peanuts only). Future tests will include cheese flavoured snack products.
Oh yes.
