Tayto: Where did it all go wrong? Discuss.

Im from Dublin, and in my house fizzy drinks were always referred to as 'minerals', and still are! Maybe that because my parents are from the country.

You can take the man from the country but you can't take the country from the man. I love it.

Did anyone used to have Soda Stream? My mother used to call those minerals too!
 
I loved my soda stream!! We had the really old white and yellow one that made a fart noise when it was ready!
 
if walkers are so horrible why are they "expected" to become the market leaders? someone must be eating them?

Simple as an advertising designer - Tayto ads have gone tacky. The one on the football pitch all eating crisps. Sad.

Whereas with Walkers good advertising campaign, funny angle etc.

So walkers are expected to becomes market leaders?
 
Alien Spacers - now, that was a crisp!

Or rather, that was a corn and starch based snack with artificial flavouring.

They even had a cartoon series on the packaging.
 
Did you every try asking for a 'Vodka & Red' (meaning Red Lemonade, long before Red Bull came on the scene) in a busy English pub?

or a hot whiskey? ...........an odd look from the barman, and a steaming measure of whiskey from the microwave - an even odder look on me!

English friends used to ask us to bring extra supplies of Tayto to England whenever we came home on visits .........
