Crisps!

Quick, what colours are "Cheese & Onion" and "Salt & Vinegar"?

To me, they're "green" and "pale blue" respectively, and so
I'm always hideously confused by Walker's blatant inversion
of these colours, established around the time of the separation
of the major continents, some alleged scientists claim.

Compare and contrast:
  Nature's own colours of flavouring:

  Walker's wrong tints of taste:

Won't anyone think of our children's taste-buds?
