Verdict

Bag

For this range of Crisps, Marks & Spencer have devised a sort of promotional look and feel with cartoon drawings to provide evocative imagery of summer fun. It all works very well, but is less a Crisps bag design and more like a magazine article drawing. The design is however visible for its originality on shelves and is bright and colourful.
.

Crunch

As with most Hand Cooked Crisps these were more crunchy than the more familiar, regular Crisp. The complete crunch process saw a crispy crack from first bite to last. At no time did the munch turn mushy.

Texture

The test bag featured a lot of irregularly shaped Crisps, a fair few broken Crisps and a similar amount of bent or folded Crisps. There was skin visible on most edges. There was also a light brown sort of colouring to what were matt oily looking surfaces.
.

Taste

A Nose Plunge Test featured a beef stock aroma. At first the taste resembled a similar beefy sort of flavour. Then it appeared to develop into a rather mustard flavoured beef. A few Crisps in and it finally took the shape of a greasy burger. It is not for us to say whether this interesting variety of flavours was inspirational, or a little misguided.
