Samboy Potato

I wrote to Samboy months ago telling them they can’t say The flavour HITS you” anymore! BBQ were by guilty pleasure multiple times a week but now the obvious lack of flavour is evident by the pale colour of the product! Their MAX irregular offerings show they can do a full flavour, evenly flavour bomb but their regular chips are now not worth the… Read more

packet they come in! Thanks for making my diet easier as, after a number of “one more try” events I will NEVER buy these again!

Samboy barbecue used to be my all time fave....bought a pack yesterday and they taste like they've waved the shadow of flavour over the pack! SO disappointed. No longer my favourite, Samboy! Show details

Grew up on the best potato chip ever made.. Only to have to eat the filthy they serve now days. Even the potatoes they use are sub par let alone the lack of original Spice flavours. A crap product once again. Like shapes,Tim tams and other Aussie icons lost to pathetic economy excuses Show details

Samboy -Atomic Tomato Best chips ever made - why not in stores – Can't believe the spoonhead reviews here. Samboy are the best chips by far and the atomic tomato are the best chips ever made. its very annoying that coles and woolworths don't sell them.... Show details

Wow finally chicken flavor back!!! I been waiting forever. Best most tasty flavorsome chips ever – Australian. The flavor really hits you commercial was a big success in the 80s. Been Australian from beginning. Established in the 1950s in Australia. Has been acquired by another Australian company recently. Show details

Must have – Every house must have these in the pantry. They are just perfect for any occasion. The more flavour the better they are. Love it even better when it's 2 for the price of one Show details

Was the flavour alright? Yes. But never in my entire life have I had so many chips that want to break my teeth. It's ridiculous how badly they want to hurt you. I think I had them one time as a child like 30 years ago and they were on special in the shops, so I thought "Why not" Mistake. Never buying again

Samboy potato chips c1960’s – 60’s ORIGINAL Samboy BBQ *THIN CUT* (NOT Crinkle cut) with DELICIOUS BBQ seasoning were the world’s best chips. I would pay double for a packet from that era. Wish everyone could taste them!

BACK TO SMITHS CRISPS – Samboy used to be my favourite and now they’re just a tasteless bag of potatoes. No flavour and nothing like they used to be!!! People aren’t stupid!!! Use cheap arsed flavouring and trick your consumers is disgusting!!! Shame on you. Thank god for Smiths who thankfully have lifted their game and brought back the good ole packed with flavour BBQ chips!!! Show details

BBQ Chips Have Lost All Flavour – I have eaten Samboy BBQ chips for almost 60 years and, until recently, they were my favourite chips. Unlike competitors’ products, they seldom seem to come on special but I have been prepared to pay a premium for the distinctive strong spicy flavour. Not any more! There is virtually no flavour at all, except for that of the oil they are cooked in… Read more

and they are actually less flavoursome that a major competitor‘s corresponding product that I have previously avoided for any real lack of taste. Mr Samboy, please revert to the original recipe!

Food poisoning – All 3 of us have been poisoned, same time, same pack. Today we opened a pack of Atomic Tomato Samboy Cips exp 20/JUN/2020. They smelt and tasted fine. The kids were eating them first then I grabbed a small handful. 10 Minutes later my 3 year old had a seriously high temperature, he developed a heat rash, cramps, his eyes looked sick (glassy) he… Read more

became constipated and very tired. Thank God he fell asleep because for the next 40 minutes I was literally sick (thick yellow vomit) I felt my stomach churning and burning and I have a massive headache. This started around 3pm and I still feel incredibly sick and can’t keep anything down and still have headache, considering going to the hospital. Also my 14 year old child has been feeling sick, no appetite and has fallen asleep early. I still have the chips if they can be checked and tested?

These were my favourite chips, now they have no flavour – I used to buy these all the time because of the amount of seasoning. Got some to today at Woolworths & I was disappointed. Same with the Atomic Tomato. The expiry is June 2020 btw. Show details

Where has the BBQ Gone? Flavour doesn’t hit you anymore! – We bought 4 packets of our old favourite Samboy bbq chips at Coles last week & not one packet tasted like we remembered... flavour definitely lacking & certainly no longer hits you What’s happened Samboy? Show details

What happened to the taste of Samboy BBQ chips? – Samboy BBQ chips were my favourite chips many years ago and I happened to see them on special at my local Woolies store a couple of weeks back so I bought a packet. The chips looked the same but the flavour was definitely nothing like what I remembered. They were the strangest tasting BBQ chips I have ever had and needless to say I won't be buying another packet any time soon! Show details

Disappointed – Samboy BBQ chips are the only chips I eat. They are pretty hard to find. I can only get them at Coles on a rare occasion. So when I seen Coles had a lot in this day, I bought 3 packets. When I opened them up they looked different and tasted exactly like Smiths BBQ chips. Very disappointed. I opened all the packets and they were all the same. So I… Read more

went and bought Smiths BBQ chips to compare them and yes exactly the same chip. Please go back to your original recipe.

TASTES DIFFERENT – Waiting forever for chicken to come back, but of course, they don't taste the same. How hard can it be to resurrect the original recipe. Cmon snackfoods, where's your pride. Wont be buying again. Show details

Where's the flavor – It was like trying to find a needle in a haystack, flavor no where to be found,crazy fan since kid my go to chips please flavor bomb the chips a little more Show details

tomato? more like plain potato flavour – Umm, who left off the seasoning? My partner was all excited to introduce me to one of his childhood favourites "atomic tomato" and they tasted like plain potato chips. He seemed so disappointed. They must have been good, once upon A time. Wouldn't waste my money on them!

Samboy Meat lover flavoured chips – I absolutely love the new meat lovers chips from Samboy. I got a pack for the first time last night and immediately fell in love. Samboy has outdone them selves with this flavour. If you didn’t realise you were eating chips you would believe it was pizza.

Who the hell is in charge !!!!! – When i was young SAMBOY chips were no1.. now there like the poor cousin sitting in the back row .. Who is in charge drop your head in shame . Smiths are making you look second rate . I prefer samboy but one problem . Who sell's them , when i can find them only small bags available . DAM IT . NOT HAPPY JAN . I WANT BBQ SAMBOY LARGE BAG. GIVE ME BBQ SAMBOY LARGE BAG.....

Samboy. BBQ chips – Samboy BBQ Chips have improved in taste I have found of late. But this is only a partial fix. They need to regain their old identity to give them an edge on the shelves. Re-Introduce the smiling moon logo from years ago. it will help make Samboy brand great again.

samboy barbecue chips – I have been buying samboy chips since I was a little gorl I am now nearly 60 this the first time I have been disappointed with my chips. I have a large packet of barbecue chips and they have not one bit of seasoning in them its like they have put plain chips in the packet, DISSAPOINTED

Still haven't much flavour – I used to love love love Samboy barbecue chips because they had so much seasoning on them and I actually had apacket a Christmas that was just perfect, the only problem was I didn't get to eat many because everyone else ate them because they were so good. I buy a packet every week to see if I can get one like that again, with lots of seasoning,… Read more

but so far no luck! Please add more seasoning, there are some people still out here who don't care about how much salt and whatever else they consume, we just want flavour! Also, what happened to your chicken chips, they were really good too if they had lots of seasoning on them?

Love the Samboy! – The Atomic tomato, fantastic! Can't get enough. The BBQ, there's something going on there, definitely not the flavour it was.

Stale chips – I brought a ok of BBQ and they were stale so a got salt n vinegar and they the same never again.im changing to smiths chips

Why is samboys gone.? – I cant believe you have seen reason to delete the most popular potato chip from your line.. Your name brand has to be the hugest in australia and the bbq samboy large packet the most popular in the line along with the other flavours. .. I really dont understand this decision. Who wants to buy a tiny pack for entertaining. ???? Not me.!!!… Read more

Ill change to another brand and have to get used to other bbq flavours which arent as good..

Very very disappointed ... To say the least . My husband is beside himself as this is the only chip he will eat..

A reply would be great !!!! Why why..??

What has happened? – The Samboy BBQ chips used to have so much BBQ flavour that they were so addictive! I no longer have an addiction to them because both the flavour and texture of them have changed recently. This is so disappointing, why change such a good thing?! I will not be buying them again.

disappointed – i grew up eating samboy bbq chips and bought two packets today and was so disappointed in them i cant eat them. they had no flavour whatsoever and didnt taste like bbq chips. this isnt the first time i have had this problem but will be the last time i do no bbq flavouring
