Tudor Crisps
Well, these days you simply canny get a 'canny bag of tudor', which is a real fucking shame.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tudor_Crisps

With such delectable flavoured morsels such as Gammon, Hot Dog & Mustard and the impossibly superb Fried Onion, why did they let themselves be bought over, anally raped and buried in a shallow grave.

Oh,and who could forget their eye wateringly good, Pickled Onion. All subsequent attempts at this flavour have been piss fucking poor.

So the question is, if you could revive just one dearly departed snack, what would it be...me, i would probably go for Phileas Fogg's Pastrami Bagel Bites.

Brannigan's Beer Nuts
roasted in their skins and coated in salt. They were fucking awesome, but I haven't seen them for years.

I think they were called Nugget bars.
Peanuts all held together with chewy caramel.


I used to be mad for them when I was a teenager.

White chocolate Pretzel Flipz.
I don't know why, but they were awesome. Or the lost Hula Hoop flavours - prawn cocktail, Worcestershire Sauce and CHEESE.

Vaguely related, my local shop stocks not only T-Bone Steak flavour Roysters, but also Brannigan's Roast Beef & Mustard crisps. Nom.

I didn't like Pretzel flipz
but they were damned addictive.

I'm still not sure if I actually liked them, or if I just couldn't stop eating them.
They do account for a sizeable portion of my student debt.

Yes
but they DID make a re-appearance, a few years back, about half the size mindye, and about 60p....nostalgia is one thing but, but a blatant rip off is another.

Similarly, i saw one of my all time fave chocolately snacks, the legendary Chelsea Whopper...only 1p each, their cocoa leathery goodness sustained many a playtime. The new version retailed at 10p for one, i was shocked and stunned...so much so i told, silently, told them to stick their fucking retro sweeties up their retro arseholes. and stormed off without even buying one....the reason being, you had to buy a pack of 10 or some other ludicrous rip off idea

they were made of win. Also, I'm so fucking glad they brought wispa gold back - I practically creamed myself when I saw them in shops last week and have eaten an artery cloggingly unfeasibly large number of them since.

I was just about to put 'Fizzy Chewits', did a refresh, and there was your post.

I miss them sooo much.

Golden Wonder salt n'vinegar.
No other salt and vinegar crisp has ever come close to their subtle flavorsome blend. I lived on these and pears when I had pneumonia. They healed me.

I was going to continue with that joke.

I did have pneumonia though. And now I get a flu jab for free every year because I'm a weakling.

Do you get the flu jab if you've had pneumonia?
I had it as a child but I've never had a flu jab. I think I shall bring this up with my doctor.

I would've said Roast Beef Monster Munch
but they brought those back, and not only that, but they've made Monster Munch the size they were when I was a kid. Awesomeness!
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 11:55, Reply)

no no no
Today's pathetic attempt at Monster Munch are merely an unsatisfactory facsimile of a once towering brilliance. The shite that masquerades as Monster Munch today are far to corny and soft and do not have any of that solid crunch of yesteryear, and the roast beef flavour used to clump in delicious nuggets to the crisp itself. Plus i hate the way that those shitty corn snacks stick to your teeth like lumps of rude plaque.

Modern day Space Raiders are nearer in consistency to the MM of old.
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 12:01, Reply)

they've changed Monster Munch recently though
so they are more like the old ones.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 12:02, Reply)

Ahh Tudor Crisps. You couldn't beat the Ketchup flavour. Mmm.

I hate the way that Brannigans crisps are now in a foil bag rather than the thick paper.

I'd also like to see the return of the Cadburys 'Secret' bar.

*edit* erm, or was it Nestle? Always thought it was Cadbury..

Walnut Whip
When I was younger, I thought "who the fuck would voluntarily eat a Walnut Whip?". Now I'm old and I think they sound like quite a nice idea. I don't even know if they're still made.
( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 12:07, Reply)

They are still made
and you can get them in Marks for a better class of Walnut Whip. They also do them with a chocolate button on the top rather than walnut.

I will check the Credit Cruncher later and wash them down with some cheap instant coffee while I pretend to be my mum in the early 1980s.

The old persons
snack of choice in my day was either, the walnut whip as stated, the turkish delight of the fry's chocolate cream, that also came in a mixed fruit flavour, if my memory serves me correctly.

Or even the expensive yet much lauded, RITTER SPORT, that came, and still does, in a dizzying amount of flavours...including my fave, 'Filthy Yoghurt'
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 12:13, Reply)

Fry's chocolate cream!
My granny used to give us those. I loved and hated them in equal measure with their bittery sweet chocolate mint-cakey nourishment.

Is that gone now?
Used to be a Christmas staple.

My auntie buys me a box of Ferrero Rocher every Christmas because I must have said about 1982 that I quite liked them.

I used to like a chocolate bar you could get from M & S in the 80s
It was like a small thin Fry's Chocolate cream but the filling was flavoured.
