There are two kinds of crisps. The first type is your ordinary, everyday sliced-fried-flavoured potato. The second kind involves some strange gimmick process, maybe using wheat and mouldings, bubbling or a "traditional recipie".
Seabrooks fall into the first category. They're crinkle-cut, and come in a wide range of flavours. They're also slightly thicker than, say, Walkers, so the edge of the crisp doesn't fight your tounge, the flavours do.
The most controversial flavour is Sweetcorn. Loved by some (e.g. me), hated by many others, this is bound to cause conflict if you ask a large group it's opinion.
Seabrooks have a reputation for having not the best designed packaging around. They used to proclaim "More" than a "snack", but a later redesign removed the quotes. In their place came the excellent line "SEE WHAT YOU BUY" (no quotes), the perfect answer to "why don't you use foil bags?". Also, bad spacing on the back makes PLEASE AVOID STRONG LIGHT look like PLEASE STRONG AVOID LIGHT
PLEASE | AVOID
STRONG | LIGHT

Seabrooks are definitely the best non-gimmick crisps I've eaten, and in the gimmick arena they also can defeat just about anything that you can throw at them (although a change is also good once in a while).
