back in the day
the 70s Golden Wonder was the biggest crisps company in the business. They set the standard for the colour. They also had crap management.
Along came a big company from the U.S.A called Pepsi. They made a brand called Walkers and fucked golder wonder over. Golden Wonder went from 90% market share to 20%, then folded.
Evil Pepsi also took the number one selling flavour and turned it blue. Same and the can.
I mean Blue? for fuck sake Blue?
Why do I know this? - Part of a bit of stand up.

I had a friend that was a Walkers rep
he told me that beef Doritos were a flop so they renamed them cool Doritos and they sold. Not sure if it is true but we are a fickle bunch us public.
