i used to loooooooooooooooooove skydivers.
 

what about those bacon flavoured crisps that were shaped like 3-D pigs? they were cool too, and out at about the same time.

 

oh, and lets not forget the short-lived 'hedgehog' flavoured crisps.

I thought that 'Piglets' were baked bean flavour.  Perhaps they did more than one flavour.

Found this through Google:
 

 

Piglets were tiny little potato pigs with a hollow middle. They were baked bean flavour and very similar to Burton's Potato Puffs. Another favourite of the school Tuck Shop!

I know. Sometimes I crave them but I think it's more for the salt than anything else. Other days I think they are vile.

I thought you'd gone veggie?  I can't stand even the idea of scratchings and I'm only a demi-veggie!

There's definitely no pork in pork scratchings.

According to their website, the first two ingredients are pork rind and pork fat.

Yuk!
 

I remember Potato Puffs. The cheese and tomamto flavour was divine. It's true, they did sell them in our tuck shop - because they were cheap and very popular.  The corner shop sold them as well.
Old but spicey!
