Monster Munch Pickled Onion Snacks, 40g (Pack of 30)

Product Information

The programme also looked at the production of Monster Munch at the Walkers Skelmersdale factory, including the raw ingredients, the extrusion process and flavouring. Like the Irish counterpart, the New Zealand version originally launched with the similar mascots from the British-based version with the different range of flavours that includes crispy bacon, chicken rings, and burger bones, it was later revamped to differentiate between Eta and Walker snacks and the current range of flavours includes cheesy bacon, and burger flavour. On 28 September 2002, Walkers announced that the "Tongue" variant of Pickled Onion would be reintroduced as a "Mystery Tongue" variant, where the consumer's tongue could turn either blue or green.

In 1995 the Monster Munch brand was taken over by Walkers who relaunched them with a range of four flavours. The packaging said "NEW" on the top and in front of the pack, as it was not the same flavouring as the Roast Beef that was previously sold. Maize, Rapeseed Oil, Pickled Onion Seasoning [Flavourings, Whey Permeate (from Milk), Onion Powder, Sugar, Flavour Enhancers (Monosodium Glutamate, Disodium 5'-Ribonucleotide), Salt, Potassium Chloride, Garlic Powder, Hydrolysed Soya Protein, Acid (Citric Acid), Spices].In August 2019, the packaging was updated alongside other Walkers Snacks, to inform about a reduction in plastic used on the packet. In February 2021, Walkers announced the launch of Monster Munch Giants, which are larger versions of the main product, similar to Wotsits Giants from the year prior. The snack was supported by a "Monster Munch Club", whose members received a "Monster Munch Munchers" membership pack which included a membership card, pen, several story books, and a story tape which included six "tall stories" and accompanying songs.

The other represented the gangly, long-tongued Pink Monster: circular with two bumps on the top for eyes, protrusions on either side and a tongue dangling down. A New Cheesy flavour replaced the Spaghetti Sauce Flavour at this time, and the Blue Monster was recoloured Yellow. The original flavour for Monster Munch when it launched was Roast Beef, followed by Pickled Onion flavours a year later and Saucy in 1981. In France, the major potato crisp brand Intersnack (France) commercializes a range of flavoured potato chip based snacks with the name "Monster Munch". On the same day, it was announced that the Roast Beef flavour would be reintroduced after a seven-year hiatus, replacing the Spicy flavour.The original shapes were replaced by one smaller shaped paw using a twin screw extruder instead of the single screw extruders used before. The relaunch reflected the addition of Sunseed Oil to the product, similar to the refresh of the main Walkers Crisps range the year prior. However, unlike the 2002 version, it reverted back solely to turning a consumer's tongue blue, like with the 2001 version.
