[Closed] Frazzles

*Binners to the forum, Binners to the forum please!

Where were these bad boys purchased, then? Haven't seen them in ages.

I could go for a Frazzle.

B&M are excellent savoury-snack sellers.

They even do the Savoury-Selections multi-packs containing Scampi-Fries and Bacon-Bites.

These are the kind of crisby bacon treats that are suitable for vegetarians? They're the best kind.

Apparently Lidl's (or is it Aldi's?) own brand "I can't believe they're not frazzles" are sposed to be even better (according to a veggie guy I know).

[dribbles a bit]Salty little biscuits that looked like fish and chips but tasted in chemicals and plastic.[/dribbles a bit]

Yeah, Aldi's do them as part of a multi-pack. My son loves all the other crisps but always leaves the Frazzle-lites (or whatever they're called). Thus, pig-death-free nommage. 😆

Not strictly speaking Frazzles, but Sainsbury's Bacon Fries (similar but much bigger bags) are amazing.

Could eat a bag now but I've already eaten 2 this week.... 😳

WOOHOOOOOO!!!! Happy days!!!!

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

Does this mean the return of all Smiths Crisps then?

Are these still around too?

Anyone remember these?

And not forgetting these;

Mmm Fish n Chips, guaranteed to make you drool and your eyes water at the same time.
Occasionally youd get a biscuity bit that was ultra strong, my god!

Oh and Tescos Bacon things are very good too.

Frazzles never went away! Nik Naks for me though....

Off to find out what on earth B&M is!

Hedgehog crisps always made me hurl 🙁

Bugger, there's B&M in Macc...and it sells 6 packs of Scampi & Bacon Fries for 99p!! I'm off to get fat(ter)!!

Fish n Chips actually made your teeth water. Weren't they banned when it was discovered they had the same ingredients as CS gas? They certainly had the same effect. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Fish n Chips

Off to find out what on earth B&M is!

You've never been to the retail heaven that is [url= http://www.bmstores.co.uk/products/frazzles-7-for-5-crispy-bacon-flavour-corn-snacks-257094 ]B&M Bargains[/url]? 😯

Its like Somerfield only better! or Boothes. Or John Lewis

Scampi & Bacon Fries

It sounds soooo wrong, but you know it's gonna taste incredible. 😉

Its like Somerfield only better!

I can confirm that B&M is better than Somerfield. Or Netto. Or Kwik Save.

Strangely, I always seem to come away with dodgy crisps and a craft knife. 😯

A craft knife as well! I now actually resent all of you for not making B&M a more regular topic on here - wasting my time with wheel sizes and dropper post reviews! I can already taste the Scampi Fries and they are still three miles away...

Pillage those cheap, juicy treats, cb!

They do baby wipes, too. I'd get some, because you may feel a little dirty afterwards. 😯

Go for it cb!

There will be a large selection of fizzy pop to wash your frazzles down with too.

Oh..... are you wearing tracky bottoms? Or a hijab? There is a dress code

Those Wheat Crunchies are buy one get one free and the Frazzles have been on promotional 39p a bag for about 6 months in my local filling station. Yum! 😀

6 for £1 at poundland 😀

And they say that in today's society the poor can't afford to eat properly. Pfft!

But the Poundland packs are but fresh air...

Waitrose Savoury Wheels, a pickled onion flavour, 29p for a huge packet, circa 1981/2, had me addicted.

binners, JJB is next door so I'll pop in there first for the trackies. I'd be ashamed to be improperly dressed...

my kind of hat-trick...

I'll pop in there first for the trackies.

True enough. I won't go into Marksies without my spats, fedora and cane.

These were the boys. Especially in beef flavour.

[img] [/img]

Transformer snacks aren't what they used to be...

I wonder if we'll see Horror bags again..

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

Used to love these. And they did a sausage & bean flavour too.

going back to the OP, since when are Frazzles retro? I bought a bag at a petrol station last weekend when I was doing my finest white-van-man impression along with a repulsive sausage roll and enough fizzy drinks to drown a donkey.

Now, these bad boys are another matter:

[img] [/img]

Staple diet for my mates and I in our early teens

They sure taste like bacon

That has to be one of the best strap lines ever!

PSA for all those Fish'n'Chip fans up there - have you tried Jacobs Oddities in salt and vinegar flavour? They're the closest you're going to get to 'em these days...

[img] [/img]
Is all I have to say.

+1 for Spicy Tomato Snaps
Those Frazzles are only 39p in my local corner shop - bargain nowadays.

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.[/i]

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

[img] [/img]

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

Not like...

[img] [/img]

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:

[img] [/img]

Think they might have been prawn cocktail flavour...

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

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

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:

[img] [/img]

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.

[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
[img] [/img]

More for your money too.

Binners - are you sure you've tried all snacks? -

[img] [/img]

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 [url= http://www.mogro.co.uk/products-page/crisps/cofresh-chilli-lemon-28g/ ]Mogro Mobile Grocers[/url] 🙂

[img] [/img]

Salt & vinegar Thingys and Tangy Toms FTW

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

Dezzy - have you tried these?

[img] [/img]

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!

[img] [/img]

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:

[img] [/img]

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

[img] [/img]

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.
