Crisps

[Shady]

Monster munch, bermuda triangles, jaws, odduns, quarterbacks, transform-a-snacks, space raiders etc etc.

When, and why, did crisp manufacturers lose imagination? all these crisps were bought out in the 70's and 80s's, so weve had over 20 yrs without a decent packet of crisps with a gimmick. its all 'sea salt and balsamic vinegar' or ~~~~ing 'rosemary and saffron infused chilli chocolate kelp' flavour or some shite like that.

I want american cheeseburger flavour etc

And they all look the same, no open shark mouths, no triangles, no little men with wheels to attach, no back stories as to why an inter-galactic war necessitated a packet of crisps.
Gimmicky crisps are what made Britain great, and now its all ~~~~ing shit.

Yeah i know you can still get some of the crisps, but the fact remains that they are over 20 yrs old and getting crapper, i mean wheres the toasted cheese flavour space raiders? can only get pickled onion nowadays and in multibags at that...

[Shady]

and burtons fish and chips, but they werent crisps, they was more biscuits, but they was still on the crisps shelf

Original or Cheese 'n Onion only.

Anything else is expensive sawdust imho.

[Johnner]

Ah,those days !! Don't forget Captain America crisps,where you could get,IIRC,a badge in it.~~~~ing wouldn't be allowed now,with bullshit health and safety !

Salt 'n Shake! lazy b@stards couldn't be bothered to put it in themselves. Probably wont get away with it now coz too much salt... Salt is good..mmmm
I live and work in a place with an S word... shady doesnt like me saying it, so I won't. And in my town there are no salt and vinagre crisps.. 2 supermarkets and NO salt and vinegar.. ~~~~ing ridiculous. The nearest town that sells S&V is 35km away.
Its all sour cream and whatever here, dill, chives etc.
I am the biggest importer of S&V crisps to S... but I eat em alll myself.

[tshirtman]

you got me thinking of what I used to eat as a kid and remember these three.

Potato puffs
Horror bags
hedgehog

I also remember making keyrings out of empty crisp bags by putting them under a warm grill until they shrank to the size of a matchbox.

[johnboy1974]

I remember a savoury crisp snack called savoury straws. They came in cheese flavour and i think the other flavour was spicy flavour, they were delicious.

My all time favs were kp worcester sauce flavour.
