Favorite crisps past or present!

[IanPalmer]

I’ll just lob these in- I appreciate they aren’t ‘crisps’ ( neither are Nik Naks/ Monster Munch so please show me mercy…)

Does anyone remember Cheese Moments..?

Many a packet taken down with a pint of Guinness when I was feeling exotic.

Anyone else had these? A personal favourite of mine but not for sharing!

Yes indeed recall seeing those, although never sampled

A common sight in the pubs, along with scampi or bacon fries

In the 50s, I remember Tomato flavoured potato puffs, back when crisps meant Smiths, with a little twisted top blue bag of salt in the bag.
Then Golden Wonder came out with cheese & onion and smokey bacon in the 60s.

I get a weird mild rush when eating Sunbites. Very odd.
I really like the roasted onion & tumeric ones, and also the sour cream & black pepper ones.

Wiejskie Ziemniaczki spring onion flavour crisps are outstanding. I got them in the Polish food quadrant of the Co-op. A flavour reminiscent of Tudor spring onion crisps which were a childhood favourite of mine.

These.

Cheesier than asking a girl if it hurt when she fell from heaven...while dancing at a Celine Dion concert.

Woah..... Woah....WOAH......WOOOAHHHHHHHH hangon right there a second.

Nik Naks aren't crisps?

I'm not sure how to take such a seismic proclamation.

I have long considered Nik Naks Nice & Spicey to be the KING of the crisp world.

Think I need a lie down.

Nik Naks Nice & Spicy aren’t even the king of Nik Naks. Scampi and Lemon for the win.

I love any crisps, don't care, I will eat the lot no matter how many put in front of me.

Usually the hotter the better.

However someone bought me a bag of super hot crisps at Christmas and they were so hot I could only eat one at a sitting. Even that was too much. I think it was these but may be wrong.

Pringles have quite recently launched Salt & Pepper flavour. Not sure if just a spec ed, but bloody lovely all the same.

I might have to look out for those, though I'm certain Pringles contain something like crack cocaine as you still end up munching through a whole tube without being able to stop when you do not actually like the flavour ....

Just read your post to my missus, we agree!

Pringles recently had a ltd ed Doner Kebab flavour which were kind of okay but of course I had the lot & felt pretty ropey afterwards. There was a Star Anise style aftertaste weirdly.

So in summary, were pretty much the same as having a real Doner! Well done Pringles.

I very seldom eat crisps. But was recently talking to my sisters about Oxo flavour crisps from 1960s. I didn't particularly enjoy those but school tuck shop did not offer much variety. I enjoyed M&S tomato sauce flavour in 1970s and ditto Simba in SA 1980s.

Definitely S&L - a certain "familiar" odour

[ambuletz]

I’m loving Walkers Max KFC flavour at the moment.

Agreed, they are lush.

I have another pack with me for watching the F1 Sprint race. I think there’s a mistake on the printing, it says ‘share pack’

They have to print that as people would complain if it read 'fatty bloater pack'.
