You have ONE day to vote

Round of 16 VII

Wheat Crunchies Spicy Tomato


Second in Group A, with a healthy 25.69% of the vote. Is the last surviving chance for this underdog brand. Relieved not to be paired-off against Chipsticks, but Discos may still prove too strong. Likely to go down fighting.

Discos Salt & Vinegar


Discos hugely under performed in the group stages, receiving only 15.46% of the Group F vote. I fancy that's in large part to competing against Chipsticks there. However, a similarly underwhelming effort here will result in surefire elimination.
Salt & Vinegar fatigue? Or just not very good to begin with? NSC decides.

Wheat Crunchies should walk this. Discos are a poor mans square crisp.

This. I can't believe it's losing. I was dreading the Wheat Crunchies v Monster Munch battle in the final rounds

How did Discos make it even THIS far? A 70s crisp that has made a comeback due to a postmodern penchant for irony - no chance. I'm no flag-bearer for the cereal-like density of the Wheat Crunchie - a sort of tomato flavour bran flake - but it gets my vote here. Tomato Wotsits are the REAL tomato snack for the connoisseur, but, sadly, I forgot to nominate them.

I'm surprised by how this is going, thought Discos would walk it.
