10 – Chilli (Estimated Sales Numbers: 116,000 Packets Per Year)

Last year Chilli didn’t make it into the top 10, but it seems its a growing favourite mostly down to posher brands of crisps adapting to them.

BBQ Flavoured Crisps

5 – Bacon (Estimated Sales Numbers: 485,000 Packets Per Year)

Bacon crips come in so many shapes and brands that I could make a top 100 out of this flavour alone. I’m a Frazzles fan myself, but I am also happy to go with Walkers.

Beef Flavoured Crisps

4 – Beef (Estimated Sales Numbers: 569,000 Packets Per Year)

A lot of people choose Beef because it’s a strong flavour. You can smell beef crisps on someone’s breath for a month afterwards! (slight exaggeration).

Salt & Vinegar Flavoured Crisps

3 – Salt & Vinegar (Estimated Sales Numbers: 790,000 Packets Per Year)

It’s a flavour that is close enough to a small bag of chips for people to want more and more of them. Plus, once again they come in a number of shapes and brands.

1 – Ready Salted (Estimated Sales Numbers: 1.3 Million Packets Per Year)

Year on year it is always Ready Salted that comes out on top. Maybe it’s a British thing, or maybe it’s that slightly salted flavour that keeps us coming back for more.
