Things that are better than you remember…

I think you’re in the wrong thread.

Doh.

Correction…. Smiths Scampi fries. Inspired by the crisp competition post 😀

Salt ‘n’ Shake. And Smith’s, yes.

Do they still exist? I haven’t seen them in years.

Christ, they do! Branded as Walkers now.

Christ, they do! Branded as Walkers now.

Yes, and bloody nice they are too!

…but you don’t put the salt on do you!? The little sachet goes straight in the bin.

Wut? That’s the whole USP! 🤣

Oh my…can we have the STW Crisp World Cup
Interactive voting Like STW just did, a few rounds and voila!

A glass of water. I used to moan as a child if I couldn’t have squash but now I love a pint of water. Nothing fancy, straight out the tap.

I’m with muffin. If you want crisps with salt on, just buy regular crisps. If you want to experience true potato tastiness, throw the blue bag away. Or just eat the salt on its own, later.

I’m just disappointed these days that I can’t run in from playing in the street, hot and sweaty, take a few mouthfuls of water straight from the tap and run back outside to continue being young hot and sweaty.

Well, I could do it, but it wouldn’t make much sense at my age and might lead to some questions about my mental state.

Oh my…can we have the STW Crisp World Cup

Is it the World Cup or just the FA Cup though ?

If it’s the world Cup then we’d have to include some of those strange but intriguing Euro crisps like Pom Bears. Lays and Frit Ravich

Cornflakes. Preferably Lidl ones as they have no added sugar.

55p a box and with whole milk and a sliced up banana they taste absolutely amazing.

If you look at the photo’s, you’ll see that Pom Bears made it in to the World Cup (though didn’t make it out of the group) , nominated by my daughter, and only availability (we were in North Yorkshire) prevented the inclusion of Paprika flavour Lays

Aah, so they did.

Who won ?

Bacon. Just gets better and better the older I get. Sausages too.

One insanely salty crisp because you didn’t pour the sachet in the right place and it all got captured, and then a bag of boring blandness because you’ve just killed your tastebuds with 100% of your salt RDA in a single hit 😀

Cornflakes

No. Sorry but I can’t accept this. They belong in the other thread, Kellogg’s specifically, especially Coco-Pops. They’ve been messed with.

One assumes because they were sued by some waste of skin who was feeding them to their offspring breakfast, lunch and dinner rather than for an occasional snack. and then decided to blame the cereal manufacturers rather than take personal responsibility when the little shits got fat. Now they’re ruined for everyone.

Mind you, they left themselves wide open calling them ‘breakfast’ cereals I suppose.

The whole raison d’etre for cornflakes is that Kellogg believed that tasty food increased sexual desire. He deliberately created a foodstuff to be as bland as possible because he thought it’d discourage people from masturbating.

And we’ve made them worse?

Shake it man. Knights of Columbus, It’s on the front of the bag!

The old salt and vinigar ‘disco’s’ that had the occasional packet with a ‘flavour bomb’. On promotion.

Which I’m pretty sure was just a sachet of acetic acid granuals.

Bacon Frazzles

Sisters of Mercy

Lemon Fanta

Sloe Gin, Vodka, Rum

Tinned Peaches

Anything with raisins and pretty much any dried fruit.

Really didn’t like them as a kid and would substitute mince pies and Christmas pud with trifle and chocolate log. Now, they’re my favourite part of Christmas over consumption.

Probably leads me onto my next choice…..

Foods with alcohol in them, Christmas pud with extra brandy poured on 😋

Tinned fruit and birds custard, cheap and ready in minutes.

Slow cooked meat. God knows what my mum was doing to the meat when I was cook as it was tough and tasteless. Now I can’t get enough of slow cooked beef brisket 😋

Cup of tea. Hated constantly having to make tea as a kid, put me off drinking it for years. I’d give up beer before tea now.

The Happy Mondays. Listening to Bummed again recently and it’s tremendous.
