Orange packaging!?/ That's the colour for Roast Chicken flavour! There really needs to be some universal agreement amongst crisp companys over packaging as this is gonna become very complicated when I get my post booze up munchies!

Hahaha, but that would be so boring! Only ones that generally stay in the same color scheme is sour cream & onion with green and BBQ with red/orange. And I don't think I've seen any roast chicken flavored chips here before. Well, it isn't a common flavor anyway.

Well BBQ is not so common here but would usually come is some shade of brown and although sour cream and onion is a new one on me, we do have the very popular sour cream and chive Pringles in the classic green tube. This is without doubt the longest and most pointless conversation I've ever had about convenience snack packaging in my life! However, if anyone is remotely interested this page gives clear examples of classic UK crisp colour schemes before Walkers came along and started confusing everyone with their blue bags of cheese and onion....bastards!! http://www.goldenwonder.com/golden-wonder-brand.asp

Where are prawn flavored chips popular? I saw some in the Virgin Island and had to try them. They weren't awful, but not my fave. Kind of bizarre.

Well there's prawn crackers which you tend to get from Chinese take aways or there's Prawn Cocktail crisps which are a pretty standard flavour over here...almost always come in a pink bag no matter who makes them. Not bad but not one of my favourites!

That sounds like a deal seriously weighted in my favour! However my trip commences a week on Monday and I doubt I'll be able to hold off from eating whatever I bring before reaching Gainesville! As for bringing Strongbow...I really wanted to bring a few pikey 2 litre bottles but I know I'll drink them before I even reach the airport!

No worries - I've spoken to my contact at Common Grounds (Re The Bow!!) and he's going to be stocking up!! TimmyUK wrote: That sounds like a deal seriously weighted in my favour!

They didn't run out last year did they? He showed me a picture of his pick-up truck type thing from last year after going to the shops to stock up, it was very impressive!!! I've even kept the can from my first Fest Strongbow!! How sad!!! TimmyUK wrote: Andy you're my Fest hero already! However I'll be on your case big time if it gets to Sunday and there's none left!!

He's top man in my humble opinion!! Gace me a lift back to Holiday Inn last year on Sunday Night (Well turned out to be early hours of Monday morning really!!) and his truck went totally dead as we pulled into the car park!!!
