Walkers, Britain's No.1 crisps and snacks manufacturer, is going retro and bringing back the original and iconic Monster Munch snacks, which launched in 1977. The re-launch sees the reintroduction of a bigger, crunchier Monster Munch corn snack, a bigger pack format and retro pack design featuring the loveable and iconic Monster characters.

From September, Mega Monster Munch will be back across the impulse trade. Available in Roast Beef, Pickled Onion and Flamin' Hot flavours in a 40g pack format with an RSP 50p (case size 30 x 40g). All the packs are based on the original design, for example the Pink Monster appears on Roast Beef and the Yellow Monster appears on Pickled Onion

Flamin' Hot wasn't an original flavour in the range.

Excellent. Pickled onion monster munch all round.

I'm quite pleased about this. I love the Pickled Onion and the Beef. I used to make Pickled Onion Monster Munch sandwiches with Laughing Cow.
I agree, Flaming Hot was not an original flavour, but they have been around for about 13 years. Other flavours I remember are Cheese, Bacon, Pickled Onion which made your tongue blue, Spahetti, and Burger.
I also remember Vanilla Ice Cream flavour, which tasted really queer. Similar to when Skips brought out a Doughnut flavour.
I remember when Monster Munch was Smiths before Walkers took over. For some reason, Walkers still use the brand name 'Smiths' on Chipsticks. I have often wondered why. Perhaps they dont use the healthier option 'Sunseed' oil in them, so don't want them associated with the all new, reduced saturated fat Walkers line.
