Monster Munch Pickled Onion is one of the great British snacks. Not because of sophistication or quality ingredients or artisanal production. Because it’s perfect for what it is.
The pickled onion flavour is aggressive. Properly, unapologetically, face-scrunching aggressive. Vinegar and onion combining into something that makes your eyes water and your mouth salivate. This is pickled onion with commitment.
The monster shapes add fun without adding flavour. They’re marketing genius, making the snack memorable and distinctive and beloved by generations. Nobody forgets their first Monster Munch.
The texture
Crunchy corn puffs in monster shapes, substantial enough to hold the bold flavouring, light enough to eat by the handful. The format suits the flavour perfectly.
The verdict
Essential. A perfect alignment of flavour, format, branding, and nostalgia. Everything Walkers should be and usually isn’t.
The best thing Walkers makes, and it’s not even called Walkers on the packet.
