I've mentioned before on this blog that I have a peculiar obsession with cheeseburger flavoured crisps. It's such an unusual flavor for crisps and if I see a packet then I always have to buy it. I'm pretty sure this obsession started with the release of the Walkers American Cheeseburger flavor to coincide with the 2010 World Cup (one of my favorite crisp campaigns ever). Anyway, I was ridiculously excited to see a new Cheeseburger flavor from Walkers, this time under their Max Deep Ridged Taste range.
The crisps are thick cut (although not too thick) with a ridged appearance. There is plenty of visible seasoning on each crisp. The flavor here is just as I remembered, and just as delicious, with a combination of cheese, meat and pickles being the dominant flavours. The overall taste is just like cheeseburgers in crisp form, and the seasoning is just spot on. I especially love the sweet gherkin flavor that comes through at the end. I really hope these are here to stay and are not a limited edition!
I found the Walkers Max Cheeseburger flavor in a local newsagents where they had a large new display for them. The bags are 50g so they're larger than the usual packet of Walkers but I hope they will be available in multipacks with smaller bags soon. There is also a Flame Grilled Steak flavor and a Paprika flavor available in the Walkers Max range. If you've tried these then let us know what you thought in the comments below!
