June 9th, 2004
Tesco Value Cheese Puffs
Vital stats: Weight: 18G Best Before: See back of pack Quality: Guaranteed First Three Ingredients: Maize, Vegetable Oil, Cheese Flavour Seasoning
Store in: A cool dry place
Review Aesthetics: Bland packet design, unappealing use of typography. The blue stripes at the top and bottom represent the struggle between man and machine, but these are crisps, for God's sake. Horizontal transparent stripe across the middle reveals the painfully average looking crisps within. Not appetizing.
Taste: I allowed the cylinder of corn to rest in my hand for a while before I ate it. It is looking at me, laughing at me, daring me to eat it. I step up to the challenge, lift my hand and place the maize maggot into my mouth. Vile. The beast writhes around on my tongue like a fish out of water, spreading its cheese death everywhere. A disaster is taking place and there is only one way to stop it. I manouvre the bastard in between my teeth and crush... a hugely unpleasant powder is shortly released into my mouth, leaving me with the impression that it has been coated with anthrax. I must swallow the ghastly mess now, and in doing so promise myself that I will never eat another.
Aftermath: Hiroshima has just happened inside my mouth, so I feed the rest of the crisps to my dog, whose pathetic brain is unable to comprehend the cruelty I am inflicting upon him. He eats the packet without a hitch. Good boy.
Score: 1/10
I implore you not to try these crisps. "Quality Assured" should read "Agony Assured".
Tune in next time when I will be reviewing Tesco Rashers, their rip off of popular bacon treat "Frazzles". End transmission.

You should know better than to buy from the Tesco 'value' range.
The Tesco 'finest' range is where it's at.

I've gone off crisps big time. They used to be an essential part of a packed lunch, but now I eat them purely for munchy value, to fill a void. The only crisps I still like are McCoys and these other ones that I've forgotten the name of but I remember the only flavour being T-Bone Steak.

The "crisps" in question guarantee a "quality". This "quality" could be the ability to taste like cattle excrement in the mouth of your average human. Therefore, a review based on a notion of flavour, texture and so on, is null and void.

well those crisps were (and still are) quite expensive.
but at least with those brown paper bags (Reprazented by Roni Size) you felt like you weren't being reamed in the arse with the expense.
anyways, damn good crisps. good solid crisps, and DAMN good flavour.
sir, i salute you for your taste in crisps :)

Beef Space Raiders!!!!!!!!!!!!
i've gotta find me some of those! i haven't seen them for years!
ooooooooooooh salt n shake without the salt!
that's hardcore.
i dunno if anyone's had these, but here in Widnes there are some really cheap crisps (i'm talking like 10p a bag) called "Thingies". They're actually made here in Widnes according to the bag.
Not bad for cheapo crisps

You used to get free comics on the back of space raiders as well. Although there were only about 3 episodes, it was still damn good value for money at 10p. They are like 20p nowadays I think.

I like the beef ones, and the tomato ones.
i have a habit of putting them in my mouth sideways and biting them in half before eating the properly. i do that with all Wotsit-shaped crisps. i dunno why, its just something i have to do

I remember the space-bitch pretty well. She had lime green hair and some kind of strange triangular earring, I think one of the crisps was based on it.

The beef space raiders are still 10p round my area, but alas they are often neglected and the pickled onion flavour given the shelf space. But when I see that black and red packaging looking at me I buy enough to last me for a while! And because they're 10p that doesn't cost much.
You would think frazzles would be in the cheapo crisps range wouldn't you, but they are a rip off :|

well i dunno...........when i see how big the packet is I think "yeh, they should be like 15p or something" but then once you've had the first crisp you remember how good they are.
proper frazzles are worth the money
