Wotsits Waffles. The finest foodstuff ever created by man. No longer available I don't think. cry


Edited because this has got me thinking now.

Does anyone remember sweetcorn relish flavoured skips, they were nice, but two proper blasts from the past were spicy Jaws crisps which were heaven in a bag and does anybody remember krunchi puffs? I'm 38 next month and they'd stopped selling them by the time I left primary school so probably not many who will remember them. They were 5p a bag and everybody used to buy two bags. They did toasted cheese flavour in a yellow bag and pizza flavour in a pinky purple bag which were absolutely awesome.

! I am also convinced that walkers did a pizza flavour crisp that were good, but everybody else thinks I imagined it.
I'm sure that they were Pizza slice shaped as well... Or else am I imagining them as well wink
Werent they called Bitza Pizza and came in a green bag. Deffo pizza shaped with holes in them, think they did two slightly different flavours.

What happened to Cheetohs? They were awesome too, not the puffs but the ones that looked like Nik Naks.

has anyone said frazzles? not my favourite but worth special consideration as they contain the most chemical and aggressive flavour of any crisp. I can still taste a packet I ate in 1985. I'm surprised they haven't been banned

No mention of cheese flavour though. And I bet walkers have ruined them.

The used to be so full of saturated fat they'd virtually make your fingers see through like a soggy pizza box and it took ages to suck the dayglow orange flavouring off your fingers afterwards.

Dont fancy bacon any way but I bet they've been healthified to the point of being the same in name only.

What the fk have they done to wheat crunchies and nik naks? Have they removed the artificial flavouring or something? Whatever it is, I do not like it.

A colleague has recently found a shop close to work which sells Cheese & Onion Ringos.

Not been to see if they also do the salt & vinegar but a trip is on the cards soon.

Don't bother. They'll be there but they're not what they used to be. :-(

Walkers, back in the old days when they actually used to make proper crisps.

Not the politically correct, fat free, ultra light, health & safety, no additives, no salt, no flavour, no nothing totally utterly bland insubstantial waste of space they have the cheek to call a crisp nowadays.

furious

Why can't they market a Walkers 'Classic' range, and put a warning on the front like on a pack of cigarettes if they have to.
