The Hardcore Effect World Cup.. for Crisps - The qualifiers

Listed below are the snacks fighting out to be crowned the Hardcore effect World Crisp Champion. We recognise some are not STRICTLY crisps, but merely corn based snacks, but we felt they should be represented. The crisps will be split by characteristics into groups, each one will be compared to the others in its group, with an overall winner and runner-up moving on to the latter stages to fight it out against crisps from other groups.

This really is seriously vital stuff.

Group A - Basic Crisps

Walker's Ready Salted
Seabrook's Prawn Cocktail
Highlander Salt & Black Pepper
McCoy's Flame Grilled Steak


Group B - Novelty Crisps

Walker's Squares
Wotsits
Skips
French Fries
Nik Naks
Pom-Bears
Chipsticks
Frazzles

Group C - Premium brand and corn based crisps

Kettle Chips
Philleas Fogg
Doritos
Walker's Sensations
Pringles

Group D - Other snacks

Beef Jerky
Salted Peanuts
Pork Scratchings
Dried Apple Crisps

Group E - Budget Crisps

Asda Smartprice
Space Raiders
Attack-A-Snack
Tangy Toms
Onion Rings


Group B, is of course expected to be a hotly contested group this time out. Young pretenders like Skips, vying against the might of Bacon Frazzles in the largest group in the competition.

This years surprise omissions include Walker's heavyweights - Quavers, a crisp that would under normal conditions fair quite well has failed to make the cut this year.

Stay here for all the action.
