Crisps you miss

Marks and Sparks Barbecue beef crisp were fooking gorgeous.

For some weird reason they stopped making them the other year...bastards.

And a big shout out as previously mentioned Burtons crisp. They were quality as well.

Anyone remember 'Chipmunk' crisp they used to sell at the match?

Football grounds and Broughton baths were probably the only places i can remember that used to sell them.

These were dished out with the free milk when I was at junior school in the late 70's, early 80's. To hell with apples and other fruit variants, kids craved salt & vinegar (or beef) savoury snacks for breakfast/brunch. Then Maggie decided kids really didn't need a government sponsored calcium fix so the free moloko was scrapped. Puffs survived a few years more and we washed them down with full strength cola at playtime. Bliss.

Around the same time my mate's Dad was employed by Smiths. As well as being a sales bod, he was a Monster Munch monster on tv! His garage was always full of crisp boxes and we took advantage! He was a very popular friend. Crisps are an important part of your life when you're 10!

Christ, I'd forgotten all about Bones and Fangs.

Chutney flavour Outer Spacers

McCoys Specials - Thai Sweet Chicken (probably still available but not seen them for a year or so)

And I liked Sweetcorn relish flavour Skips but they only did them for about a month as far as I remember.


Ringos may still exist but I reckon they changed the texture of them dramatically and made them worse in the early 80s. I had a packet of Nice N Spicy Nik Naks a few weeks ago too and they having fucking destroyed them! I don't know if they have gone lower salt or something but they were almost tasteless.
