Fuming, how the hell do they get away with it ?
ok, so you buy a blue tune of pringles from tescos, what do you expect to be in it ?
salt n vinegar of course.......
well rip top off, grab one, mmmmmm not much vinegar on these, look at tube a bit closer, sea salt n black pepper.....
all's well that ends well, I like black pepper but the tube should not be blue ???

IT's like the crisps where salt + vinegar are green and cheese+onion are blue. Accidentally bought some yucky C+O crisps a few times....

Your own fault for not checking before you bought them.

this is a funny thread 
I thought you were going to say the police had stolen your car, like happened to some chap in the paper today; but instead its just a packet of
crisps, that you liked anyway

Report it to the police. The potato based snack products division will be very interested.
It's probably a different shade of blue to S&V, they have so many flavours they must have run out of colours by now.

I totally agree. There should be a European standard as well as BS and ISO standards defining which colour is used for which flavour of crisps.
If memory serves me well, the two big names Golden Wonder and Walkers use green and blue intechageably for cheese and onion and salty vinegar.
Makes you want to blow into an empty packet of crisps and burst it.
GGGRRRRR............

Shouldn't this come under the "buyer beware" rules?
If I ran a crisp company I'd be constantly swapping the least bought packet colour for the most bought one, just to wind everyone up

I'm 100% with the OP on this. Salt and Vinegar packaging should ALWAYS be colour coded blue.
Something that always winds me up is them multipacks. You can never get them with 3 good flavours in, 2 possibly but never 3. They insist on
"throwing" some Smokey Bacon or Worcester Sauce in just to make the numbers up.

Absolutely agree. These morons in the European Parliment are too busy standardising silly things like fire extinguishers and ignoring the really
important issues like crips!!
Write to your MEP mate - in fact we could start a petition!!

Totally agree on the multi packs thing, though I want worstershire flavour and end up buying then in 6's because all the mixed ones have
flavours I can't stand like Prawn Cocktail.

Well to sort that out you just ask them... Like when I asked why they don't do roast beef monster munch (the nicest ones they do ever) and they
told me they do, but it's up to the shops where they get sold. Roast beef has been slowly appearing in more places since then.
