To be honest I no idea, not a sausage, a clue, a inkling or even the vaguest suggestion as to “What flavour crisps does James Bond eat?”.
However people out there interweb land seem to want to know and site referral logs to this blog indicate that it keeps being hit for the question “What flavour crisps does James Bond eat?”.
It does seem rather odd, and to be honest I am fairly certain that I have excaberated the situation by putting the phrase “what flavour crisps does James Bond eat” as a deliberate phrase in the mini awards ceremony that I ran here. Which does I guess make me a victim of my own, errr well success isn’t right, but I certainly am a victim.
So two objectives occur to me:
1. Try to get to be the number one hit on Google, Yahoo etc for the phrase “What flavour crisps does James Bond eat?”, so in order to work on this I would really appreciate it if you guys out there in interweb land could link to this page with the phrase “What flavour crisps does James Bond eat”, so that instead of all roads leading to Rome, all links lead here!
2. Actually find out what flavour crisps James Bond does actually eat!
No 1, is straight forward and requires minimal effort from me, you guys (and girls) just need to link back here with the phrase “What flavour crisps does James Bond eat?”.
No 2, is harder. James Bond in the sense of the agent created by Ian Fleming does not exist as a person, so I cannot ask him. Nor indeed can I ask his creator Ian Fleming as he passed away in 1964. I do not recall mention of a flavour crisps in the novels by Ian and I have read them all over the years and do not intend to read them again to find out (though it is a possibility).
So I think what I will aim to do is find out what flavour crisps Messers Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan and Craig actually do eat.
It is a difficult and whacky mission I know, but one that I am willing to undertake.
I will keep you posted.

James Bond would have eaten smith’s crisps with a little blue bag of salt, This is because when Ian Fleming wrote James Bond those were the only crisps available. They were not in plasticcy bags like now, they were in some other form ( greasproof bags?) and the packets came in tins to help keep them fresh
there ya go, probably as near to the horse’s mouth as you’ll get

I came over from mrspao’s blog. I can’t imagine Bond eating anything greasy like crisps. He’s too debonair, might get crumbs on the tux.

Definitely not those Sensations things- they try ar too hard to be classy, like those M&S adverts.
Possibly something classy and foreign. “I’ll have an ’78 Pommes du terre ave le shel et vinaigre, shalt n’ shake, not shtirred”
I am ashamed of that terrible joke already.
