monster munch flaming hot

Flavours
Alongside the returning Pickled Onion and Flamin’ Hot (Mega Monster Munch only), two new flavours, Beef Burger and Spaghetti Sauce, were introduced. A wide range of Tazos, featuring images of the monsters, was produced, with one Tazo included in each bag.

Since then, various packaging changes and new flavours have been introduced. Monster Munch was later part of Walkers’ short lived “Snackshack” lineup during 1997–1998. A New Cheesy flavour replaced the Spaghetti Sauce Flavour at this time, and the Blue Monster was recoloured Yellow. Flamin’ Hot was later introduced in the multipacks at this time, replacing Beef Burger.

In April 1998, when Walkers changed their logo, Monster Munch changed their packaging. A Spicy flavour was released in August 2000, replacing Cheesy (with the Yellow Monster being retired in the process) and a new Purple Monster (which looked like the Pink Monster from the first era) was the main monster for that flavour.

In August 2001, Walkers announced a special Halloween variant of the Pickled Onion flavour that could turn the consumer’s tongue blue, and was promoted with The Beano and The Dandy comics and three ten-second spots that would air on Boomerang.[7]

On October 17, 2002, Walkers announced that the Roast Beef flavour would be reintroduced after a seven-year hiatus, replacing the Spicy flavour.[8] The packaging said “NEW” on the top and in front of the pack, as it was not the same flavouring as the Roast Beef that was previously sold. In October 2004, the Tongue variant of Pickled Onion returned for Halloween as a variant where the consumers tongue could either be blue or green.

A “Baked Bean” flavour was made available in February 2003 for Comic Relief, alongside Quavers, Wotsits and French Fries and standard Walkers Crisps. In April of that year, a “Vanilla Ice Cream” flavour was released to mostly negative reaction. This type of Monster Munch was non-savoury, and it contained sugar instead of salt.[9] The Tongue variant returned again that year with new Halloween-themed packaging, although it reverted to the 2001 version where it could only turn blue. This version returned for one more year in 2005.

In February 2007, Walkers changed the packaging for all their snack products, which were Quavers, Wotsits, Squares, French Fries and Monster Munch. This packaging reflected the usage of Sunseed Oil, which was used in all products. The Multipack bags were in a different layout, being in Landscape style. For Monster Munch, the logo was changed, but the monsters and flavours didn’t. However, for Monster Munch, This packaging style was short lived, as huge changes happened to the brand in September 2008. This packaging remained for the short lived Baked Monster Munch.
