It is always difficult to see great British companies on the list:
Luckily, I've cut sugar and crisps out of my diet, so I was already boycotting them. Kind of.
Walkers became popular after they were bought by Americans. Smiths and Golden Wonder/Tayto are the casualties
Been eating Walkers since the 60s. Just happens that my family emigrated from Scotland.
Kraft buying Cadbury's - a part of every Brit died that day. I bought it once since and will never touch it again. They ruined it.
Check the factory on the packaging. I think some of their UK factories have to retain the original recipe.... Can't remember the details, so not that useful.
The last couple of times I've ordered Crunchies online, the chocolate tasted off. No creaminess at all. It doesn't taste like vegetable oil and wax so I'm not sure if it's American influence.
