Crisps of the past!!
Tel, they are still going, had some not long ago, anyway, Beef is the signature and original flavour, I can still remember my first packet, from the kiosk on the sea front at Benllech on Anglessey. Was a seminal moment for me, had seen them on telly and been wanting to try them aged about seven but they werent in our local shop, then, bang, there they are in bloody Wales, fantastic, as good as I had expected.
* Smiths "Horror Bags":-
Fangs - cheese and onion
Bats - smokey bacon
Bones - salt'n'vinegar
Ribs - can't remember
Claws - can't remember
All I know is I ****ing loved 'em! Think they must have had crack in.
I'm sure I read there's a company in Ireland (Smiths?) that still make 'em and sell 'em over there! Damn!
* Football Crazy - bacon
* Ringos. Green, c&o. Blue, s&v
* Kung Fu. Yellow-orange packet, smokey bacon. Black packet, cheese and bacon. Tonnes of flavour.
* KP Beef crisps - gorgeous.
* Talking of beef, whatever happened to the brown packet beef versions of Wotsits?
* Twists. Red, salted. Blue, s&v. Used to add vinegar to 'em, shake the bag - heaven!
* And Ranchos (Rancheros?) that someone mentioned too - amazing quality things! Like Frazzles... But for posh people LOL

It was Ranchero's - I seem to remember 2 flavours, maybe bacon and bacon & beans? Nearest to this now are Markies bacon fries.
The original 70's Golden Wonder tomato flavour - the one's before they started removing all the colour and flavourings that were bad for you....
