Walkers Baked Assorted - 6 Pack

In Britain, Walkers is simply what crisps are. The multipack goes into the trolley on the big shop without anyone writing it down, and the baked bags have earned their own spot next to the classics.

People in Canada go looking for these because a bag of crisps is one of those small things that tells you where you grew up. The packet, the crunch, the flavour names said out loud the way you said them in the playground. Close enough is not quite the same thing, and you can tell by the first one.

The pack holds six individual bags, so it splits easily between lunchboxes, desk drawers and the car. Kept sealed in a cool, dry cupboard, the bags sit happily until somebody finds them. Usually sooner than planned.

Walkers makes a whole shelf of crisps beyond the baked range, and people tend to pick up a few at once. They go best beside a proper sandwich, a cup of tea, or a British chocolate bar for afterwards, because a packed lunch has rules.
