Severe cramps from Samboy Atomic Tomato Chips
Was so excited to get these.
Ate around 1/3 of the large bag and all of a sudden my stomach started gurgling and turning, I got hot flushes and ran for the bathroom. 30 minutes later my stomach is still going wild and I'm trying to concentrate on not throwing up.

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 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....Read more
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.

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?

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!

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

Waiting forever for chicken to come back, but of course, they don't taste the same.

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

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.

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.

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, 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.

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.!!! 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.
