Seeing bikers back around lately and fully approve of it. Decent size bag and full with crisps rather than air (as tayto didn’t get their grubby mitts on them like they did Mr Perri rings).

King luxury crisps or the black pocket of Manhattan are the best you can get in a pub.

Bacon Fries are vastly overrated.

These are the ones I am talking about. Heart

I don't like these small 25g or smaller bags. Pointless things as you still eat about 4 of them!

I'm surprised at the love for Manhattan I must say.

WOT? Best pub crisp around! Only one that fills their packets and heaps on the flavoring.

Yep have seen Burger Bites, lidl I think in a big pack. 

Really like Manhatten crisps are with pints but Tayto is the king of crisps.

Rancheros are top notch too btw. Ranchero samboClap

Gone mad for the McCoys cheese and onion lately. 

All the fookin pubs in Dublin seem to have the sh*te King crisps. Angry

Just realised after nearly 38 years that I actually really like Scampi fries from smiths. 
For years now I have often bought that 3 bacon fries, 3 scampi fries multipack and basically dumped or gave away the scampi fries but they are actually pretty nice.

One of the nicest crisps out there are also Bacon Rashers from Lidl. Might have mentioned before but for 69 cent for a share sized pack there is some serious flavour off them

Keoghs are a serious crisp! 

Sold loads of the in the pub in Salzburg and some of the varieties were superb - The flame grilled Irish steak is world class.

Big fan of Keoghs and O'Donnells, loads of flavoring on every crisp and as you said they go great with a pint.

Big fan of the ‘Giants’ range from Walkers.

The Wotsits Really Cheesy Giants are nice as are the Monstor Munch. Highly recommend. Look out for them in the likes of Dealz

Nowhere near as good as they used to be. Lacking SnV,and have doubled in size. Not having the remake

Yeah the banshee bones are ok but do feel like I liked them better back in the day and don't have urge to gobble them up

I'd love if Tayto/tayto parent company did something similar and brought back other crisp flavours, even for a season.
 Very annoying they bought the market and then streamlined the product line, depriving us of many great crisps. I'd vote for original tayto monster munch or Perri French Fries (purple crisps bag with eiffel tower and text "oh la la" on pack)

If I was to vote,
