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.

Walkers ready salted.  I also remember something called Kung Fus, which were nice.

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

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!

Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

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.

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?
