* The Real McCoys *

Advantages: Great Flavour , Good Price
Disadvantages: None

...mysterious. There is just something 'irresistible' able the design. The front of the packet is gold , with the famous McCoys' logo located in the centre of the packet. The logo ,which appears to be a black circle ; the top half of it says 'The Real' in a gold font , then 'McCoys' is written across the 'circle' in large white capitals , a logo which instantly catches your eye. On the bottom half of the circle are the words 'Ridge Cut'. Below this large logo is a blue background with 'Salt and malt vinegar' scrolled across it in large white capitals. Underneath in gold reads 'Flavour Ridge Cut Potato Chips'. I turn the packet round and am faced with a silver background with two columns of information. The first column provides us with information on the crisps such as "unique recipe" and "great flavours" , along with their catchphrase ; " The Real...

Review of McCoys Ridge Cut Salt and Malt Vinegar

The Real McCoy!

Advantages: Strong Flavour!
Disadvantages: Smelly Breath!

...Okay, so it's Wednesday and I was feeling a little down earlier so I thought a little treat was in order, so I indulged a little.... okay then a lot. But when I was in Henry Healey's this lunch time buying my usual lunch, I just happened to be glancing over at the crisp stand and there they were, McCoy's Cheddar & Onion, "screaming" at me to buy them and who am I to refuse? You must have seen these KP branded snacks on your travels to shops, supermarkets etc., In their easily recognisable gold and green foil packaging, which helps to retain freshness which can I just say, they do rather well. It's probably not a good idea not to have too near your nose when opening, the smell has been known to put some people off, not me, I love the smell of cheese - the stronger the better is my motto. I can hardly wait before stuffing these...

Review of McCoy's Crisps

The real McCoys!!

Advantages: Tasty, strong flavour, crunchy
Disadvantages: not amazingly healthy

...I love crisps of any description, usually Walkers but when I'm in the mood for a treat I pick McCoys. McCoys are produced in the UK by United Biscuits. According to their website they are now the third biggest brand in the bagged snacks market with 5 million packs being consumed each week, shocking figures!! McCoy's are flavour ridge cut potato chips. The great thing about these is that the chips are quite thick and crunchy and each one has a very bold flavour. Unlike some brands of crisps it seems that each crisp has been coated in the flavour which is nice because you get a really strong taste. They are often marketed as "male" crisps as I think they conjure up an image of strong, working crisps and of being "the Real McCoy". The Salt and Vinegar flavour is very tangy so if you love S&V this is definitely a good choice for you...

Review of McCoys Ridge Cut Salt and Malt Vinegar

Not the real McCoy...

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Cost, cleanliness

...2 headchefs had recently left. It showed. We also thought £5.50 for a glass of 175ml house wine was excessive. If our lunch was an example of their cusine, the glory days of the McCoy brothers are sadly over....

Review of McCoy's, Staddlebridge

Steak and Ale, the Real McCoys

Advantages: big chunky crinkled crisps with lots of flavour!!
Disadvantages: They leave an after taste plus they are truly fattening

...Hi Every one! The Real McCoys are just the thing to have if your feeling rather hungry or it's just those times when you want to snack. I know that they fattening but I just walked over the crisp section in the shop and thought to my self I fancied something but wasn't sure which one to choose!. I am watching my weight so I just though about treating myself. These a the Real mcCoys Limited Edition flavour (Steak and Ale) they come in a Gold/brown and green foiled packet. This gives the crisps that extra freshness. It states in white writing across the packet McCoys. This is what struck my attention plus the fact they added Ale flavouring with the crisps. So I chose them and took them to the counter to pay for them. They were 40p which at first though was alittle expensive for my liking but I endulged this time. When I got them...

Review of McCoy's Crisps

These are the REAL McCoys.

Advantages: Great crunch, great flavour
Disadvantages: Too strong for some.

...If you want a strong crinkle cut crisp with a powerful flavour and tastes like it has been cooked the traditional way, you could do a lot worse than buy a bag of McCoys crisps. Appearance. ----------- The Packet is normally a shiny gold colour which portays quality. Using the foil packaging gives the crisps a better shelf life. It draws your attention to it in the shops as no other packet looks like it. Texture. -------- They are rigid, crinkle cut crisp of a fairly un-uniform size. Where as many Crisp manufacturers try to keep all of the crisps the same size, McCoys tend to offer a varied crisp size that makes you think it is more traditionally made. The crisp is quite thick too which means it has a very tough texture when crunching into it. The flavourings that cover the crisps are also quite predominant throughout the bag...

Review of McCoy's Crisps

Nothing beats the REAL MCCOY!

Advantages: Thick and crinkly and crunchy
Disadvantages: One bag is never enough.

...As I write this opinion I am currently eating this bag of Flamed grilled steak flavour MCCOY`S, and I am thoroughly enjoying them. I have been a massive fan of crisps for many years and have tried many various different types. Yet nothing even come close to comparing these crisps. They are by far my favourite brand. **** SO WHY ARE THESE SO SPECIAL? ***** I like these crisps simply because they are deliciously flavoured, thick and crinkly and most of all very crunchy. I love the way you can lick the ridges and your taste buds get the full effect of this sensational crisp. This is everything that I would want out of a crisp and it seems KP who makes them have got them down to a T. ***** SO WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE? ***** These come in a foil wrapped packet that has a gold panel on the front. There is the REAL McCOY`S logo...

Review of McCoy's Crisps

the real McCoy is the best

Advantages: Yummy
Disadvantages: very fatty

...Ok well I must admit I am a bit of a savoury snack eater- I usually prefer to have a packet of crisps or some chips or something else that's equally as fattening but yummy rather than a chocolate bar or something sweet. Crisps are definitely one of my first choices of snack, simply because when I want a snack I cannot be bothered to actually cook something that I'd like better. So crisps are tasty and convenient- ideal for the couch potato or someone out and about. McCoys Ok well I remember I always used to love McCoys 'original' flavour (ready salted in case you hadn't guessed) but for some reason the stopped making them- what's all that about then? I was really miffed when the company stopped producing my favourite crisps. I did however discover that I also like their 'flame grilled steak' variety. The biggest triumph was though...

Review of McCoy's Crisps

Are they the real McCoy

Advantages: Taste good and are different to other crisps
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...I am sat here with a bag of Cheddar and onion McCoy crisps, trying to work out wether they were actually worth the 40p i paid for them from my local shop. It seems to me the bag is quite full but now for the real test........I have opened the bag up, and it is half empty ! No surprise there really. The bag itself looks quite classy, it is gold with a green circle and a green line through it......the only way i can decribe it is it looks a bit like a 'National speed limit' road sign, with McCoys written in the line and The Real and 'accept no imitations' written in the circle. Underneath that there is Cheddar & onion written in green writing with a white outline. Now for the crisp itself. They taste strongly of cheese with a hint of onion to them, and they are very moreish (I haven't tried any other flavours but I believe there is...
