What did you do?! These are a pale, sad imitation of the iconic burger rings of my childhood. Shame on you. Is there a single chip brand left in Australia that hasn't gone downhill? Won't ever buy this again.
Cheap, no brand rubbish in a branded packet – These are not the Burger Rings I grew up with. They have no taste, the texture is completely different. They don't even smell like they used to. They did the same thing to Toobs. Hey ALDI can you copy these but make them good again? Show details
I've just come across possibly the smallest burger ring found it looks so cheesy hard not eat it actually due to visibility being so cheesy it has to be atleeast half even less to a normal size burger ring..wedding ring perhaps to a collector Show details

Waste of time, money and taste buds – Burger rings absolutely crap no taste, smaller in size, texture horrible paying more money and getting bang for your dollar not happy customer Show details
Everything has changed for the worse – The urges rings today wth??? Smaller they dont fit on your fingers, thinner - less puffy, less flavour…. What a disappointment… i dont know why the receipt has been changed for burger rings, rashuns and twisties… Should not have messed with a good thing …. This is now a crap product… best to go ETA munchies Show details
Burger Rings recipe not the same – Dreadful flavor, bubbly texture and weird shapes. Not the same at all anymore. I dont know if its a change in recipe or how they make it (or both) but they're downright awful. Perhaps there's been a cost-cutting change which has resulted in this, whatever it is, Bluebird would benefit from going back. I will certainly not be purchasing any more until there's been some kind of improvement to ensure both quality and consistency. Show details
Why did they change Burger Rings??? – I am so disappointed in these fake Burger Rings. They are nothing like the original and it's terrible they even sell them as such. They are tasteless and I was looking so forward to eating them tonight Show details

Best rings I've ever put in my mouth – They have gotten plumper, with a bigger burst of flavour. Can't stop fingering them and putting them in my mouth. I've eaten Burger Rings since before I could talk, damn Show details
Not the same but not bad – I see a lot of whining about this snack not being the same and whatever. Boohoo things change i for one still love them and still buy them today. They be smaller and crunchier but I prefer the crunch and the flavour still good aswell. Don’t let these reviews turn you off trying burger rings, try them for yourself and than make your decision.

Taste perfectly fine to me – Can't believe all the negative reviews, surprised at how many don't like burger rings. I think they taste fine. Love em. Pretty much the chips I choose to pinch out of the kids school snack supply of multipack chips. Show details
Negative reviews
A poor imitation for real burger rings! – What the heck happened! Another great chip Ruined by MBAs seeking profit. Don’t buy until they go back to their old recipe! Show details
Changed! – I remember ten years ago, the last time so are these things that they were tasty and bigger! What happened? These are not as tasty not as big and leave a funny aftertaste in your mouth! I won’t be buying these again!

Absolutely mediocre – Burger rings used to taste like an explosion of flavour in your mouth on every bite, and now they taste like mediocrity and disappointment. Show details

Another classic bites the dust! – First time having burger rings since I was a kid in the 90s and 00s, wow burger rings have changed a lot, lacked the flavour punch, except being spicier, but more like a puffed corn ring than the dense rings thinner rings we all knew and loved. Not sure why companies change a good thing but if you want a better snack that's similar to these go cheezels with way more flavour. Show details
No flavour, old ones far better – I dont like the way they change products. Smaller, lighter, less taste. “Oh people wont notice” like f*%#. Burger rings were epic niw i just go for twisties as they understand me!! Show details
Burger rings have changed and now suck – They’ve changed, they’re smaller, crunchier, and less taste with way less left over flavours on your fingers. The old Burger rings? Were larger, darker in colour, and melted in your mouth with a nice texture. Now, they're like the payless version, lighter in colour, smaller, and now rip up your mouth and are too crunchy. Not what they used to be.… Read more
Why kill a good thing? Profits over intelligence i assume. Way to go smiths, you've killed a winner... Brand is dead. I won't buy again!
80’s down the drain – I have contacted Smith before regarding the increasing lack of flavour in their chips… And I bought burger rings today for the first time in about 15 years… Total, total total disappointment. The rings are half the size and there is not even half as much flavour. My fingers aren’t yellow!!! Show details
!CHANGES! – Few years back I could not live without Burger Rings, but recently there had been a change.. few of the chips that I bite into, they are filled with oil or some sort and it just isn’t the same. Can anyone else tell me if they have noticed a difference in the chips? Show details
Help! – After the misery suffered after the Caramilk flunk - although that one was expected, and my taste buds declaring Toobs to be the saddest void of that wonderoud vinegar effect, and zero melty texture or tongue snagging pops as you lick that delicious excess of bitey tang from the outside; today as I walked by the chippie isle, my deprived tongue… Read more
screamed out for that sweet tangy mouth watering flavour of a previous life. Burger rings! I was scared. I was hoping. I was only brave enough to purchase the small bag. Alas, even my dog refused to eat them, and he loves plain Cruskits... The Burger Rings disappointed more than Toobs and Ovaltine.
Horrendous – I'm disappointed that i had to pick one star these new burger rings deserve no stars. They are hard, crunchy , holey the texture is terrible and no flavour you can lick off.. these use to be the best chips for 20 years. They have been crap for the last few years. I tried them again but still awful. So immensely disappointed Show details
Change of recipe disaster!!! – What a disaster for the Smith Team! Please be accountable for your mistake and please bring back the original burger rings. They are a far superior product and customers would be happy to pay more for the original product. Please Smiths, please bring back the original burger rings? Show details

The new burger rings are terrible! – I used to eat burger rings all the time, now the texture is horrible. They're all bubbly and scratch up my mouth. These were my favourite as a child, but now I never want to see them again and neither does my scratched up mouth!
What Happened? – Burger Rings used to be so yummy! I bought them today after many years but there's no longer any taste (and no, I have never had covid so that's not the problem). Guess I'll never buy these again. So sad. Show details
Horrible – It was one of my favorite snacks .The rings seem to be smaller. The consistency is different .the taste is not the same . It is terrible .I don't understand why change a winning flavour.i am not buying this product again. Show details
Smiths dont care – Contacted smiths 5 months ago. Tasteless burger rings .They were looking into. I rang today as still tasteless batch after batch. Not buying anymore obviously smiths trying to scab out Show details
What have you done?! – I have always loved burger rings. My love affair goes back to when I was 9 years old. I bought a pkt yesterday, excitedly opened the pkt only to be met with an evil cousin of burger rings. Anaemic in colour and less than half the taste. What happened?....I'm shattered. Marketing need to be hauled over the coals. Hopefully they will read the… Read more
reviews and pull their fingers out and return our beloved treat to the original otherwise I won't be buying again.
Not the same product – Won't buy them again. Not even close to the original product. Taste has gone. I would be better buying a plain bag of chips. It's amazing how these companies either shrink the product or completely change the recipe. Show details
My alltime fav chips are dead to me – What the fark happened, i hate that my fav chips since i was a kid are horrible now. The crunch is gone, the crazy amount if flavour is gone, sure i can tell the flavour is there, but the power punch that made u addicted is gone, the texture feels different, its like burger rings got covid and lost its taste, we need to boycott this crap. Over… Read more
30yrs of loving burger rings, id rather eat the aldi varient. The person who changed the recipe needs to be sacked. How about you just make the bag size smaller like other brands do if you need to cut costs. But dont mess with the ingredients.
Burger rings stuffed! – WTH. Why has the recipe for my most favourite snack changed? Why wasn't anyone told they were changing the recipe and what the heck was the reason for the change. Never buying them again unless they revert back to original recipe. They now taste like s£!t and I would have given a zero rating if i could. IMHO Show details
