Don't forget that this is a "posh" crisp maker. I'm sure cheap chips don't neccesarily use real cheese and I talk from experience, red onion cheddar kettle crisps are way different than other crisps, to the point where the cheese can taste a little bad. So yeah, I assume there are differences

Wensleydale flavored crisps. Sounds like something that Wallace & Grommet would cook up in their basement laboratory.
‘Cracking good crisps Grommet!”

I'm from the US and I have no idea what you guys are saying but it's fun to watch.

When you realize American cheese has less cheese in it than British chips.

Everything is real, everything is chemicals, that wholesome (rabbit food) its chemicals...

[tylerdubien]

Lol why did they even visit the first factory if all they said is "well another guy does it for me"

[Dragon]

Kettle are “posh”? They sell them at the convenience store….

[EweChewBrrr]

I would have bet it was chemicals. Glad I was wrong.

o.- when i usual eat cheese and onion chips and lick the spice off it, it rather tastes like milksugar mixed with some other spices. so i bet only the real expensive luxury brands use real cheese like shown here, oh wait. the main ingredient of the spraydried cheese was stretching the cheese with milksugar. or "milkpowder" as they called it.

I wish they sell these... cheetos dusts
