I covered fish & chips earlier

For some good snack type crisps in the modern era, the Sainsbury's Economy crisps are excellent - Onion rings, S&V chips and cheese puffs, taste superb and only 58p for 10 small bags

Yes, all the supermarkets do the 6 pack multibags.

I was in a cash and carry recently and found Tomato Sauce snaps too

Yup, these can be found easiest in the Multi-bags and a few places sell them seperately!

Golden Wonder will be back on the scene soon. Now their cheese and Onion are surely the best.

Good to hear GW will be back, it was GW who made the Sausie and Tom crisps, they went bust a while back, always amazed me how Walkers stole a march on GW, as GW are/were by far the best crisps, you're spot on with regards to the GW Cheese and Onion, magnificent, Walkers are to salty and oily for me, all flavours.

Anyone remember Football Crazies (edited to say Gazza99 does lol) little smokie Bacon maize *****, another tuck shop favourite, do tuck shops still exist or did Jamie Oliver have them all torched to the ground ??

There was a petrol station down the road from my mate that would get boxes of these in very infrequently.

They also did gammon and pickle flavour as well iirc.

I have a distant memory of small lattice like crisps that were very crunchy, but the haze is too think to remember!!

I think they only stopped doing them recently

I think the same brand also did roast lamb and mint sauce which was also nice!
Brannigans.....mmmmm Didn't know they'd stopped


Just found out they haven't stopped

Anyone remember when for a brief period in the eighties you could get Salt and Vinegar/Cheese and Onion flavour Salt and Shake ?

Also, Kettle Chips are nice, or at least the plain ones are, most of the other flavours taste of socks, way to strong, they did however do the king of all crisp flavours for a time,

Sea Salt, Rosemary and Garlic

sadly gone now to be replaced by some horrible Dockers Sock and Leibfraumilch flavour, or is it Bell end and Burgundy ?

Thanks for the piglets reminder, I had forgotten all about them.

My faves were fish and chips though.

I can remember some crisps called Oddens. The cheeseburger flavour ones were lovely!

Also, as well as the piglets, there were ones shaped like chickens as well!

Smiths were always the best, there is something about the others which is not quite right when I remember how good the Smith's ones were.

Anyone remember Hedgehog Flavour crisps? Came from someplace near Welshpool. Were actually flavoured with herbs - so as they were technically lying on the packet they had to cease production under EU law as the packaging was misleading.....
