    I remember them from my childhood alright, have not seen them about in years either though. Assume they are no longer on the market.

    Crunchos were taken off the market for safety reasons. You may remember they were extremely hard and were judged (correctly I think) to be unsuitable for children.

    There were attempts to sell them in pubs from racks in a similar way to Scampi Fries etc., but these were eventually rejected and Crunchos were resigned to history.

    Don't ask me how I know all this - suffice to say I liked them a bit too much :)

    Oh crap............ I would love a packet of them now! It's not fair! Damn you Anto for reminding me of those savoury salty pieces of heaven!
    Speaking of crisps no longer on the market, what ever happened to Tayto Fritters?

    I adored them, they were taken off the market but came back a few years later and were not as hard, ruined, nothing like the originals. I remember when they were taken off I found a small shop with them, bought about 30 packs, shopkeeper thought I was a nutter.

    Never heard it was safety issue, they were just as hard as scampi fries.

    Crun-chos were great, variety of them in the US called Cheetos, except cheesy flavouring.
