Crisps

my apologies D-S, went to the shop to check and you are quite correct.

Steady on though, all those crisps must have raised your blood pressure…

🙂

i also love the smiths minus the salt. braw.

There are only a couple of acceptable exceptions to the flavour/colour rule for crisp packets. This is acceptable for prawn cocktail

and this for blue packets that aren’t salt and vinegar

Interestingly, while googling that I found these

Has anyone tried them? Look promising 😀

XL cheese crisps are the bestest[/url]
Wish I had seen this thread before picking up some of the new Seabrook crisp flavours….THE worst crisps ever since those football specials last year!!

No, I once saw some really, really boring bloke do such a thing in a pub, then announce to everyone what he was doing, as if his actions were somehow rebellious and anarchic…

Better to ostentatiously open packet & throw away all the crisps then neck the salt, now that’s snackanarchy….

For the iDieters……..

Has anyone tried them? Look promising

Yes – they’re ace. They’re like Wotsits and Flaming Hot Monster Munch had an illicit tryst behind the tills one lazy Saturday evening.

Damn – these were good. Why do such fab snacks get discontinued?

And they are in a green, official C&O, coloured bag.

You can still get Ringos, but they’re a pale imitation of their former glory.

COSHH regulations.

Really? Were there a number of Ringo-related accidents (outside of the Beatles)?

Chortle.

PARP!

Bloody Monster Munch.

COSHH regulations.

You might have a point, thinking about it.

Kid at our school had a peanut allergy. We used to make him play Russian Roulette with a bag of Revels.

Love these. For some reason they often remind me of walking home from the school disco…

Some of the girls at our school were a bit unhygienic as well.

Has anyone mentioned the unspeakable obscenity that is Pringles yet?

Scampi Fries …ewe…
They’ve got a lingering stink that once on your hands you just seem unable to get off again..
And if you eat 6 packets in a row they make you vom.

TBH, someone eating them in the same room is enough to make me vom.

These smell worse!

They’re pretty minging but they’re no ‘Nice n Spicy’ Nic Nacs!

*dry heaves*
EDIT: beat me to it!

Someone tried. But this is a crisp thread.

What were those Bacon Fries things made of too… another ewe from me on that one, pongy ponk of large portions.

Those “Squares” “crisps” are still available, on occasion MrsBouy takes them on picnics..

scampi fries are awesome.

i presume we wont go near pork scratchings?

horrible things…

discos are great too and they follow the STW-approved methodology of blue for salt and vinegar:

I made my own pork scratchings the other night from a pork belly. TASTYPIGSKINS!

lets not confuse crackling with pork scratchings though! crackling is awesome where pork scratchings are wrong. i guess because crackling is hot/warm its acceptable.

Who remembers the Smith’s Horror Bags range?

They had Fangs, Bones and Bats.

And sausage and bean flavour KP Rancheros?

Wow, yes, vaguely. I remember the packet certainly.

Cougar – that deserves a Ho Ho. That’s funny. Was there an Epi-Pen available?

If you are about 42 you will remember the Horror Bags range.

Someone mentioned these earlier, couldn’t see an image..

Has anyone had a Cheese Moment? Not strictly a crisp, I’ll admit.

Cougar – that deserves a Ho Ho. That’s funny. Was there an Epi-Pen available?

Unsurprisingly, it was a joke, and didn’t really happen.

(he was actually allergic to coffee cremes)

I remember Horror Bags! Tuckshop-Tastic!

Remember these tasty MoFos?

Didn’t taste of fish or contain any potato yet they called them Fish n Chips. Surreal.

Unsurprisingly, it was a joke, and didn’t really happen.

I didn’t think it was true Coug’s – but it is a funny joke.

It really is difficult to express oneself on a forum isn’t it?

It really is difficult to express yourself on a forum isn’t it?

Yeah. It’s not the first time I’ve wondered if someone’s being serious in (somewhat foolishly) taking me seriously. They say a large percentage of communication is non-verbal; so on the Internet where you lose all the subtle nuances it’s really easy to be taken the wrong way.

Tuckshop-Tastic!

That reminds me of our tuckshop staple, Potato Puffs. 10p got you a bag containing mostly air; the savvy kids crushed up the bag before offering it around, so that it was impossible for someone to take more than a pinch of crisps.

Lot of tosh being talked on this thread…. these are the one & only king.
Walkers in Smoky bacon flavour, though Walkers C&O, RS or S&V are acceptable if the king is not available.

All other crisp manufacturers are imposters.
Doritos, kettle chips, expanded corn puff’s are not crisps, all IMHO of course.

Agreed that Walkers take some beating but Smokey Bacon, that’s down with their Roast Chicken as one to avoid.

Now Prawn Cocktail and Worcester Sauce that’s a different matter.
