Title: Crisps brands
Post by: kevvosa on February 04, 2006, 09:57:37 am

What were your fave crisps as a kid? I fondly remember most crisps brands. I used to love Hula Hoops, Skips and Monster Munch. Then at highschool I got hooked on wheat crunchies.

I was never too keen on Quavers though. Anyone remember when they did the 'square Hula Hoop' competition?

I did not eat many crisps as a child but for a treat i would have chosen Golden Wonder Smokey Bacon. As a teenager I lived Chipettos which were like Wotsits. I also loved Potato Puffs which were a cheap brand but lovely.

I love wheat crunchies, bacon or worcester sauce, and monster munch in pickled onion or beef flavour. Also used to quite like chipsticks... like little matchsticks

They've stopped making Worcester Sauce Wheat Crunchies though.

Seabrooks all the way. We used to have them at the school tuck shop, 12p a bag. I still buy them now

And what about Tangy Toms? Tomato flavoured corn balls!

My friend who comes from Darlington originally always says there's nothing to match Tudor crisps.  I don't think we ever got those down south.  Doesn't anyone remember Piglets?

Ah, somebody does!  Quote:

Piglets were 3D potato snacks - they were shaped like little piglets and were pickled onion flavoured.

 What's the point in them being pickled onion flavour?

I didn't like Fish-n-chips.

I like Tomato Quavers when I can get them.

Title: Crisps brands
Post by: kevvosa on February 04, 2006, 05:20:22 pm

Oh yes tangy toms I used to love them too and I had forgotten about Nik Naks aswell - loved the cream and cheesy flavour.

Anyone remember Frazzels? Do they still make them?

Title: Crisps brands
Post by: smurfboy on February 04, 2006, 05:23:47 pm

Mmm, Frazzles

I think you can still get them - if not, Marks do a nice version called Rashers. And how could we forget the classic Scampi Fries?

M&S do lovely bacon rashers crisps I agree. Their cheesy ones are nice too. 

Title: Crisps brands
Post by: oldspice on February 05, 2006, 09:46:26 am

Hey Smurfy! What are you doing eating Rashers???

I agree with you on the Seabrooks crisps theme. They are nice.

I don't eat many crisps though

I like the 10p Space Raiders, pickled onion flavour of course!  Tangy Toms and Space Invaders. I also liked Fish n Chips and Bacon Fries mmmm.

Now I love M&S Beef and Onion crisps, M&S Cheese Wotsits and Kettle Chips.

Post by: Cherry_Ripe on February 06, 2006, 11:03:34 am

Square crisps, Ringos and Buccaneers were my favourites. Also good old cheese and onion Golden Wonder crisps.

What were the ones called which looked like small shreddies? They definitely came in Chicken flavour as well as others. They were tasty too.

Oh yes I remember Piglets but I didn't like them!

Post by: chocolate chick on February 06, 2006, 11:10:25 am

I liked those Square crisps and Frisps. I also like bacon flavour Chrunchy Sticks. I think thats what they were called.

And I can remember the launch of Discos!

Title: Crisps brands
Post by: chocolate chick on February 06, 2006, 11:12:34 am

I also remember when crisps used to come in the plastic bags with the see through window and then they introduced the foil wrap. 

Title: Crisps brands
Post by: Cherry_Ripe on February 06, 2006, 11:25:04 am

Were Discos the round ones with the air bubbles in them?

Title: Crisps brands
Post by: smurfboy on February 06, 2006, 11:28:24 am

Those are they! The salt n vinegar variety are so strong you need a bucket of water with them!

Post by: Cherry_Ripe on February 06, 2006, 11:45:03 am

I just remembered Skydivers ... salt and vinegar puffy crisps shaped like parachutists.

I don't think I was remembering Discos earlier I think I was remembering Roysters ...

Title: Crisps brands

Do you remember the M&S snacks which were puffy like Wotsits but round and they were hamburger flavour? I don't know if they still make them but they were gorgeous. They had a red and blue, stars and stripes type packet.

Title: Crisps brands
Post by: smurfboy on February 06, 2006, 02:38:17 pm

That sounds familiar. I think they have gone to the great crisps bowl in the sky now though.

Title: Crisps brands
Post by: chocolate chick on February 06, 2006, 02:41:24 pm

They do sound kinda famililar.

I remember Mr Men and Little Miss Crisps from Safeway. One of those was chicken burger flavour

Post by: Cherry_Ripe on February 06, 2006, 02:49:15 pm

Fancy a snack?

After extensive internet research, the old snacks I remember which were in the shape of Shreddies but they were chicken flavour were called WICKERS. OK now I can do some proper work...
