The crisps aren't the best part.
It's when the crisps are gone, and you can just pour the left over flavouring from the bottom of the packet into your mouth.

as a kid, i was always desperate to try those crisps where you shook your own flavour onto them
but we were never ever allowed them :(

Assuming you mean salt-n-shakes and the short lived spin offs?
They were, for the most part, crap.

yeah, those
kid novelty. when my dad were a lad, he had a job in the crisp factory one summer, putting those packets of salt in the crisps. he said sometimes they would pile in 4 or 5, to give someone a surprise. must have been a crazy place to work.

Sounds mental.
The spin offs were a nice touch, I seem to remember one of them being bacon flavoured. Tasted shit though.

I'm pretty certain that salt'n'shake is still available if you want to give it a whirl as an adult.

I remember those, red packet instead of blue. And green ones for cheese and onion, the correct colour.
