Tried the beef flavour and it was very weak ive had stronger from own brand supermarkets not worth £3 in my opinion

These crisps are slightly better than walkers, they are thicker than walkers, its a shame that most of the crisp market is now owned by pepsico or kp, would be nice if independent crisp makers stayed true to themselves instead of selling their souls to the multi nationals. Overpriced as they all are.

When Pipers Cheddar & Onion crisps came out, it was like going back in time. I remembered Golden Wonder Cheese & Onion crisps, thick, fresh, full of flavour. The Pipers crisps were lovely. I've been on a diet for 9 months so crisps were out. Had a break from my strict diet and bought a packet. They were always slightly more expensive than other makes, but the taste and quality made them worthwhile. But the price of a packet had shot up in my absence. In one bakery shop they were charging £1.45 for a packet! So much so, that I started buying boxes on Ebay. But not only had the price increased, the quality had decreased. The crisps were much thinner, similar to Walkers crisps. More of the crisps inside the packet had what looks like air bubbles on them. So I'm afraid that I have bought my last packet

I used to love Pipers crisps and before Sainsbury’s sold them, I used to order boxes online and have them delivered by the Pipers van. They were crispy, salty and tasted like crisps from my youth. Often tasted like chips from a proper Yorkshire fish n chips shop. Great flavour. But now they are soggy, less salt and taste stale even with a long sell-by date. Since the takeover they have become as bland as Walkers. Completely lost their USPs.

Crisps arrived in bits. It was like eating a bag of splinters. Probable rough handling in transit. Suggest you put FRAGILE HANDLE WITH CATRE on your boxes.

I bought my first ever bag of the sea salt crisps, sadly it will be my last. The bottom of the bag was swimming with oil, as were the last few crisps. Not pleasant at all.

Sweet chilli not great. Big thick crisps compared to most unfortunately tasted like nothing, slightly stale no flavour or crunch to them, purchased from a baguette shop in Reading. Put them in the baguette and did not really add to it hahahaha

As someone else has pointed out, seems that since PepsiCo bought Pipers crisps they've gone from being among the best to pretty average. From crisp crunch, with signs of farm to table they are frequently softer, and if you exchange them, you get the same thing more often than not. In fact I barely recognise them from the original - such a pity, and having written to Pipers/PepsiCo to help explain, seems like the age old complacency has set in. Unless it changes I guess Pipers are heading down the list, and not just retailers but pubs, bars, cafes, restaurants - will look elsewhere. After all they're not that inexpensive but are more Walkers than Pipers these days. Won't be buying them again unless hear they've reverted back to proper crisps again.
