Jacobs Oddities? A savoury snack I’ve never tried? Right! This needs rectifying. I’m offf out to forage. I like their strapline..

They’re baked. They’re crispy. They’re crackers.

Cheers for the heads up sparkola!

I remember liking these a lot.

Non of this retro stuff, get up to date with the finest crisp known to man. 70p a bag in Tesco

bamboo, that packaging is way too professional and it looks like they’re using ‘real’ ingredients.

Not like…

Chutney flavour starships, dontchaknow?

They are a revelation; found in the ‘world food’ aisle in Tesco, away from the normal crisp selection.

Had these the other day:

Think they might have been prawn cocktail flavour…

😆 This thread is sooo full of win, jumpers for goalposts etc etc

I used to mix the ketchup flavour with something else (I’m going to say cheese and onion) for a quite unique and in retrospect probably repulsive flavour

Are you guys googling for pictures of empty crisp packets or are we witnessing some truly weird collections being aired?

@ Coyote – it’s the weird collections…

… probably courtesy of this gent:

Isn’t that one with the blue fella on it (far left) a Monster Munch?

* remembers having just enough money to buy a Monster Munch and a Wham! bar after swimming at Aberystwyth pool back in the day. Gets moist and misty eyed *

All aboard the chutney starship.

Erm.

Pfffft… Peasants.

Oh, fangs and bones…Binners wins,close the thread.

I’m a huge fan of crisps that have no idea what a potato actually is

[dons ocrispianado hat]

wheat crunchies are not crisps

[un-dons ocrispianado hat]

sparkola- you’re a bloody legend!

I’ve procured a big pack of Oddities. They didn’t have the salt n vinegar, so I got cheese and onion, and they’re a taste sensation. Result!!!

*applauds brakes for introduction of the word ‘ocrispianado’*

😀

i used to love goiong into the local Kwik Save for those big bags of Wheelz crisps….cheese and onion, salt and vinegar and mexican spice…they were brill… 😆

Am I a heathen? Bobby’s taste better to me

More for your money too.

Binners – are you sure you’ve tried all snacks? –

Anyone else used to shrink the empty bags down in the oven ( like shrinky dinks)?

Binners – are you sure you’ve tried all snacks?

Absolutely not Dezzy. It’s an ambition rather than a statement. I’ve never even seen those before. I’m liking the look of Pork Crunches though. Where would I procure such delights? This is the most educational thread ever.

All suggestions for any other savoury snacks I’ve never tried, lets ‘ave ’em! 😀

There’s more at the Mogro Mobile Grocers 🙂

Salt & vinegar Thingys and Tangy Toms FTW

Those Chilli and Lemon things are bloody gorgeous!!! And bloody hot!!!

Dezzy – have you tried these?

The fiery madras ones are awesome! 😀

Must resist…

This what happens with working above a poundshop.

I think we may need a job lot of these chaps

Just got the link sent to me this morning by the mrs binners

The hardcore crisp addicts among us are still pining for the Really Ruthless Crisps…

Bring them back!

Snack machine bloke at my local swimming baths when I was a kid was stocked with these. Took about 4 months for them to sell

In moments of sophistication inspired by my older brother, these would taint my breath:

If its poncey crisps that are required – I normally lean towards the opposite end of the pricing spectrum – then these are where its at..

Frazzles never went away so not really retro you can buy them in pretty much any supermarket.

I love Frazzles 🙂 They sell the small bags in our local esso station. The king of crisps is Kettle Chips Buffalo Bleu but I haven’t been able to find them over here yet, only got em in Canada. Pretty sure the main ingredient is crack, bit moreish.

Personal favourite and ones I wish I could still get more readily were the brannigans beef and mustard flavour.

BEAUTIFUL crisps, that made my eyes water.

Try your local boot sale… There’s usually some selling some close to BBE date crisps there.

Meh…

Iced Gems represent something truly unique. A sugary confection that neither of my kids will eat

Iced gems make my teeth itch.

They have no place in this discussion.

Sorry. Better?

Now your talking!!! Roast Beef – the superior Monster Munch flavour too. Good work!

I’m going to need a cuppa.

The new Monster Munch is but a pale imitation of the proper 70’s original.
