Favourite crisps?
Pickled onion monster munch

Small children's tears flavour
But they're hard to get hold of.

Failing that, Seabrook's prawn cocktail.

Seabrook
Prawn cocktail.

But only when they were in clear plastic bags and not the rubbish foil ones, foil has ruined them.

Ooooooh, this gives me jealouses.
I haven't had them in years!

Red Spicy Doritos
mmm yeahhhh...

or Flamin' Hot Wotsits.

Flamin' hot wotsits are the closest thing I'm every going to experiance in my life time, to doing Smack while getting a blowie off [insert celebraty of your dreams].
My local shop doesn't get them in that often, but I can never buy just one packet of them.

They're soooooo amazing. Seriously.

I don't know, TGB,

At least we can console ourselves with the green flavour ones.

While we're at it,
although they're not crisps, I demand the return of WHITE CHOCOLATE PRETZEL FLIPZ.
(, Tue 16 Jun 2009, 16:49, Reply)
White chocolate is all of the win
so I'm in

They were my dinner of choice when I was a student.
Either them or the killer one-two of a Kit-Kat chunky, followed by a chunky Milkybar.

Pickled Onion Monster Munch
That's a hard one to beat Becky, although the spicy ones were my faves.

Beef and Mustard Brannigans
Although they were better in the Paperish Bags

Closely followed by Salt and Vinegar McCoys, and the technically-not-a-crisp Flaming Chilli Doritos.
(, Tue 16 Jun 2009, 16:38, Reply)
In fact
The Thai Sweet Chilli "Posh" McCoys also take some beating..

them shits was FRESH, yo. Proper fiery mustard - almost WWI-ish in intensity...


EDIT: SHIT! Just agreed with 'Weeker. This simply will not do.

At least your taste in crisp is upto scratch
Unlike your taste in music!!

Does anyone remember
Indian Tandoori Seabrook crisps? I think the last time I had a packet would be at least 12 years ago.

Also, not many people remember the time Seabrook tested sweetcorn flavour crisps. They started out ok but by the time you'd finished the bag you felt quite sick.

what happened
when you shat them out?

Kernels?

I MUS KNO

I think I joined a crisps forum once.
Such is my love for them.
I preferred Monster Munch in the old days, but you can buy the old-style beef ones now. Yum.
I also loved Benson's crisps in S&V flavour. 'member them??
M&S used to do good S&V crisps. So flavoursome they made you sweat.
McCoys - packed with flavour. Especially the steak/beef.
Skips get forgotten about, but if you get a really powdery flavoury pack, they're a treat.
Let's not forget Space Raiders.

Has anybody been able to get hold of some Yasser Arafat crisps?

Don't know if you still get them
as I've never bought a bag of crisps in years, but when I was a kid I couldn't resist Smith's Cheese & Onion Square crisps.

Reformed starchy goodness in a geometrically pleasing shape.
(, Tue 16 Jun 2009, 16:40, Reply)
I believe Walkers bought them over
And introduced Foil bags which ruined the flavour somewhat.
(, Tue 16 Jun 2009, 16:41, Reply)
Walkers and foil
have ruined everything

I agree

I really don't like the taste
of thinkgs packaged in foil. They did it to chocolate bars too. I want my Mint Aero and my Galaxy in foil and paper thanks.

Ohhhhhhhhh yes
Such is the dominance of foil I completely forgot about the old days of paper foil combos. Much nicer!

Yeah, proper foil
not plastic foil. Grrr.

I must go and look for a packet now
just to confirm the disappointment of foil packaging.

Oooh good one!
I really like S&V Square crisps and also S&V French Fries.

I also loved those Puffs crisps but they've been long gone for years!! :(
(, Tue 16 Jun 2009, 16:42, Reply)
lol Puffs
An old-school tactic was to crunch them up prior to opening, and then tip the contents into your mouth.

Saved a bit of faffing around...
(, Tue 16 Jun 2009, 16:43, Reply)
Hehe
Aww I used to do that too!! :)

About 4 years ago I found some in an ice cream truck (of all places) and I brought the guy out. I have never seen them since! *sobs*

You can still buy them in Macro
My brother goes every so often and buys me a box of them

The flat's going to be full of cheap crisps now. ;)

If you want me to keep buying you the sausage and mustard crisps you'll hush! :-P

You're both very welcome
You do get sick of them after your 24th bag.

Not meeee, I miss them so much I would probably consume two boxes in a day!!

and they're yummy.

I don't do drugs, I don't smoke, I do crisps and Mountain Dew, oh and candy floss! :)
(, Tue 16 Jun 2009, 17:20, Reply)
Oh god I haven't had candy floss in ages
I want some now.

I can easily polish off a multibag in a few hours, but with the puffs I had to put the box away or I'd be eating them for the sake of finishing them. That would be wrong. All gone in three days.
(, Tue 16 Jun 2009, 17:25, Reply)
I'm not sure about the last time I saw them
I remember the packaging quite clearly though. I even think one of the flavours was "Plain" instead of "Ready Salted"... Such were the days.
(, Tue 16 Jun 2009, 16:57, Reply)
I quite like
S&V discos. And Squares. I just need to find some triangular crisps and I'll be set

Chipsticks!!
Can't believe I forgot them.
And only the little pale blue and white packets. All other chipsticks are inferior, Morrison's come a close second.

You clearly never tried the bacon ones
that were in a pink bag with newspaper print on them.

but were they smokey bacon?
because I don't like smokey bacon flavoured things. They smell like fuzzy red hair.

If that's what becky was on about in the post above.

They were NICE

Don't remember
any with newspaper print on though.

The ones out at the moment have the same Smiths bags as they used to.

No
Frazzles are frazzles. These were bacon chipsticks. Very different things

Never was a chipsticks man. I only ever knew the SnV or Ready salted varieties....

None better.

O, crisps, how I love thee, let me count the ways:
1) Beef and Mustard Brannigan's
2) Cheeseburger Quarterbacks
3) Sausage and Mustard Tyrell's
4) A good old fashioned Quaver
5) Walkers Cheese and Onion

Golly. No wonder I'm a fat bastard.

Pickled Onion Monster Munch... me too
I often prefer 'real' crisps when I can get them because everything is made of rice in Japan.

If you like salt and vinegar, try Tyrell's Cider Vinegar and Sea Salt. They are crispy heaven.
