Bought a multipack a few weeks back from either morrisons or B&M, still good. Threw a bag in with a tin of macaroni cheese (desperate measures at work one day) almost made it edible.

Just got back from the canaries, why do the continental paprika crisps taste so good, and then never get sold over here? Paprika Pringles are good, but not as good as the bags over there.
cheers, i'll keep an eye out for the multipacks
won't be putting them in mac though

I cant remember the name of the ones I want to mention - they were 'Salt and Vinegar' flavour, in a blue bag obviously and possibly with yellow writing, but weren't crisps as such, kind of little tubes although sealed at both ends, very thin walled. Might have been called 'Mr ***' something. Not sure when I last saw them for sale but were available 15/20 years ago.
My first thought when seeing this thread was exactly the same. Loved them. I think they also did a beef flavour.

6p a packet at the junior school tuck shop I helped run in the mid-80s. Both flavours.

Stupidly hard to find considering they are produced in the UK. I draw the line at ordering snacks online.
I can only imagine the limited supply is part of a premium pricing strategy as they are made by the third largest snack maker in the UK whose stable of brands includes Golden Wonder.

Not much of a crisp eater but I used to love these; Brannigans roast beef and mustard.

Walkers cheese and onion (grab bag) as the regular bags are pathetic. Mccoys salt and vinegar a close aecond.

When properly binging on crap then a big bag of chili sensations get demolished.

Whatever happened to the bags of plain , unsalted with the blue bag in , or the potato chips made with REAL POTATOES.
The world of crisps has gone the way of reality show commentaries- CORN FED & DAFT.

When in the U.S, Lay's sour cream and Onion
Otherwise it's a toss up between the Chilli Heatwave(red bag) Doritos or Marks and Sparks Cheese tasters. Having worked there for a number of years I think I ate a bag every shift...

These are excellent crisps with a great prawn cocktail flavour you can really taste.

that's the one thing i always hated about them. much like with ready meals/pot noodle, they always seemed to have a very LONG lingering taste in your mouth/throat. you'll burp 6 hours later and still taste it.

My local off license has some polish version of frazzles that are a little like quiavers, large packet for £1 and tastes very nice, fairly light and not overly salty/savoury or powdery.

I find Walkers smoky bacon repeat badly too.
