Its nothing remotely like that given that the vast majority of crisp brands C&O packets are green. 

Its petty, yes, but take a look at the thread title. 

I'm fully on board with the pettiness. Just wanted to call you an auld c**t. Apologies.

Like those people that still try to insist a Snickers is called a Marathon. It's been called a Snickers for about 30 year and still some demand that it be called a Marathon to the point that Mars even rebranded for a bit as a gimmick.

Don't forget these either, Starburst gtf...

Opal Fruits are back – and so is nostalgia in design

Minstrels used to be All-Chocolate Treets, and Peanut M&Ms were Peanut Treets.

When they changed the name, Viz printed a spoof article claiming that Jimmy Hill was unhappy as the new ones didn't taste the same. The heading was HILL'S TREET BLUES.

Only absolute old c***s moan about cheese and onion being blue. It's what I associate with cheese and onion now.

Aye, it’s like Dundee supporters going on about Jocky Scott.  Get over it.

Treets made a fleeting come back about 3-4 years back in Sainsburys. Top notch sweetage.

Normal Walkers Cheese & Onion are in a blue packet, yet their Squares are green.

That would be because they bought Square Crisps from Smith's Crisps so most likely wanted to keep the branding

EDIT : I know they're yellow and green but you get the picture

Thanks for the insight.

Smiths had Salt 'n' Shake too.
