The Way It Should Be

"I grew up in the days when blue meant Salt & Vinegar and green meant Cheese & Onion, so I am as frustrated as anybody by the confusing crisp shelves. We’ve seen more and more customers bringing up their own frustrations about crisp packet colours in the past few months, from letters to Tayto to endless of conversations on Facebook and Twitter. We know it’s a real issue with the public. Customers instantly identify snack flavours by colour so why confuse shoppers by putting Cheese & Onion in blue packets and Salt & Vinegar in green packets? With our petition we hope to standardise packaging across the market to the way it should be."
Amen, brother. Amen.

Sorry, but green says "Lamb and Mint"-flavored, while blue is all about "Spleen-and-Scrotum Pie"-flavored.

@BadUncle In the US, deep red means barbecue; in the UK? pint glass shards and blood.

Blue always meant Salt & Vinegar and green Cheese & Onion when I was a kid. Then in the 80s the previously northern-only brand Walker's Crisps appeared down south and they had the colours THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!! That was the end of it all really.
