Cheese and onion, as a British default

Britain has two crisp flavours that function as defaults, in the way plain salted does in America. One is salt and vinegar. The other is cheese and onion, and between them they account for an enormous share of the aisle.

American shelves have neither in the same way. Sour cream and onion is the nearest relative, and it is genuinely a different thing: creamier, milder, and built on dairy tang rather than on the sharper savoury note that cheese and onion carries. Anyone expecting one and getting the other notices immediately.

The colour argument

Worth knowing if you ever discuss crisps with British people. Britain has a long-running and unresolved dispute about which colour bag cheese and onion belongs in. Some manufacturers use green, others use blue, and the two camps are split roughly along brand lines.

The result is that a British person picking up an unfamiliar brand genuinely cannot tell from the colour whether they are buying cheese and onion or salt and vinegar, and this causes real irritation.

Why the ring shape suits this flavour

A ring carries more seasoning per gram than a flat piece, because there is more surface area for the powder to cling to. On a plain salted crisp that is a minor point. On a flavoured one it is the whole product, and it is why the flavoured Hula Hoops range tastes stronger than the equivalent flavour on a thin crisp.

The density helps too. These are firm enough to hold their coating through a lunchbox rather than shedding it into the bottom of the bag.

Frequently asked questions

Is cheese and onion the same as sour cream and onion?

No. Sour cream and onion is creamier and milder. Cheese and onion has a sharper savoury note and is a distinct flavour.

Why do British people argue about the bag colour?

Because manufacturers disagree on whether cheese and onion is green or blue, so the colour is not a reliable guide across brands.

How many bags in the pack?

Six, at 24g each.

How do they survive shipping?

Better than you would expect. Sealed multipacks are nitrogen-flushed, which is why the bags arrive puffed up, and that cushion protects the contents. Individual bags inside an outer pack travel considerably better than one large open bag.
