Reigniting the colour debate

Pete Johns asks:
Where do you stand on the cheese & onion blue/green debate?

Blue for cheese and onion, green for Salt and Vinegar. Because Salt and Vinegar tastes green and Cheese and Onion tastes blue. It's obvious really.

April Angell I don't eat crisps - they make me fart.

So does ice cream.

Becky Crapping Santas and farting...

I'm so glad we've found your level, April. ;-)

April Angell Fuck you too, darling. xxx

:-p

Alli' Cat' Oh come on! It's not often I read something here that makes me really irate, but this time you've just gone too far. To say I'm appalled and disgusted at the depths this blog has sunk to is an understatement. As if 'Santa shitting down a chimney' wasn't bad enough, what obscene perversion of all that's good and decent have you wafted under your unsuspecting readers noses now? When will you realise that placing filth like this into the public domain is what's rotting the heart and soul out of modern society? For Gods sake, impressionable children see this!
This is a 'call to arms'. It's time for all right-minded people to stand up and be counted; to draw a line in the sand and say, "It ends now!". Come on people, we're standing on the precipice of a runaway train. So, before it's too late; say it loud and say it proud: "CHEESE AND ONION CRISPS ARE GREEN!"

Yours, Angry (of Mayfair).

(P.S. sorry if I got a bit shouty there, but I'm breaking in a new thong and it's rubbing me up the wrong way)

Becky I stand by my remarks. History shall judge me!!!

hannaviolane at least cheese n onion are flavoured with a food product...of sorts, salt n vinegar are crisps flavoured with condiments ( designed to 'add' flavour)always wondered how way back in the mists of time Golden Wonder or was it Smiths? came up with salt n vinegar? and why the hell are roast chicken orange?

Anonymous "standing on the precipice of a runaway train": Possibly the funniest bit of this week's Now Show.

Hanna, if you thought Salt 'n' Malt crisps were a strange discovery... what about the discovery that humans could drink cows' (or goats' or sheep's) milk, huh?

Kris Pete, with the aid of Smith's, I think you've found your own level.

NH It was Golden Wonder and not those Johnny-Come-Latelys Walkers who established the colour coding for crisps.

FACT: Onions have green shoots.

FACT: Mouldy cheese goes green.

FACT: All brands of table salt have blue signage and motifs, not green.

FACT: Vinegar is never marketed in green.

It's simple, Walkers...BLUE for Salt and Vinegar (and Harry Hill agrees with me), GREEN for Cheese and Onion, RED for REaDy Salted, YELLOW for Roast Chicken and PINK for twat flavour.

Billy Surely cheese and onion should be a white/yellow colour and salt vinegar a white/brown?

Becky Meh, all this still can't take away from the fact that green is a tangy sharp salt-and-vinegary colour and blue is a rounder cooler cheese-and-oniony kinda colour.

Walkers just did better research and got it right.

;-)

Alli' Cat' See, that's the trouble with synesthesia - it's purely subjective. Blue obviously tastes sharper than green!

Siobhan Curran Hmm

As the leading transvetite authority on synaesthesia, I feel it my duty to point out that Becky is very wrong on this issue.

tigress I think the reason blue is associated with salt because of the sea.
And I don't see anything blue about cheese and onion. It's a fresh, spring-like flavour, and green is the colour of spring after all!
