The crisp, is out there...

Day started bad, work at 10 am on a Sunday morning is never good. Wasnt out last night but still kinda craved some crappy food this morning. Canteen closed of a Sunday. Crisps and chocolate are in order.

Monster Munch pickled onion flavour.

I'd heard tales but never believed them to be true. I had to see it with my own eyes and taste it myself.

The fabled, all flavour Monster munch. You know the one, some machine malfunctioned and hey presto a crisp comprised of pure flavour and MSG goodness!

It was outstanding! Nearly sucked the f*cking face off myself it was so sour!

How often does this happen? Can I get a bag of just these?

(on a side note, do you remember the flavour boosters you could get in Discos)
I ask because a friend of mine denied their existence yesterday

Ah sure back in my day this was what they were all like. I could tell ya tales of swollen bowels and diarrhea that would bring a tear to your eye:)

Though Spicy ones FTW!

The summer of '95 was a magical time for me, i once held the holy grail of corn based snacks... the crisp of kings ... the flavour of flavours ... the demons choice.

The reddest biggest Monster Munch, I or anyone of my friends had ever seen. It was truely amazing, so amazing infact that one of said friends kicked it out of my hand and stamped on it as I was offering it to the Gods!!

Apparently, if he wasnt going to get to eat it, then no one was!

The sun didnt shine as bright after that day had dawned.

I still search the Earth for the ellusive "all flavour crisp".

Now, i'm headin back to bed for a bit o' sex with the missus, enjoy work and your crisps!!:D

Oh god yeah, you have me drooling now. They took the salt and vinegar to the max. TO THE MAX.

Roof of mouth stinging in pain goodness.

MMMMM.

Saw the thread title and thought David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson must be quite peckish.

/ moved to food section.... if i could

Elliemental

Honestly guys, its` a bag of crisps.

Aidric

I had an original flavored pringle once that was so original I could taste the cardboard. A rare treat.

Nothing beats a pack of Hunky Dory Buffalo crisps. So much flavour thrown on top of them you can barely see the crisp!

prefer mighty munch, taste the way monster munch used to taste

The lad who said about the popcorn being cold, I know what you're talking about. Right as a crisps expert I will list from my lifelong experience a few of the best crisps ever... Ahem, here goes. 1. Monster munch beef flavour(oh yes) 2. McCoys the purple colour think they r barbeque 3. Banshee bones for the soft saltiness 4. Blue walkers max 5. As someone else said hunky dorys buffalo bad thing is you can't eat more than 1 pack in a sittin cos it sorta burns your stomach.. Wash all this down with a snickers bar and cuppa tea

+1 on the cold super salty popcorn, yum! Here are my faves in order, also I travel a lot and crisps are incidentally what I miss most from home.

1. Mighty Munch (but oddly, I go mental for the totally bland ones, you know, just really pale yellow and non spicy, mmmmm)

2. Barbecue Hula Hoops strong, and according to my sister smell like dog food, can't say I get that meself...

3. For light and crunchy I like Treble crunch, even better with a cup of tea, don't know why!

4. For a big, hearty bag, cheese and onion Hunky Dorys

5. Also have a soft spot for skips and rancheros but only occasionally.

Ah but they tend to stick to your teeth! I rarely find myself eating a pack because of it

FearDark

Nothing, NOTHING beats a bag of Tayto Snaps... pickled onion heaven, one bag is just never enough though.

3 words: Jonnie Onion Rings.

I think King make the best cheese and onion crisps. Not a walkers fan at all.
Thai Rings are delicious too. And Bacon Fries are great in the pub, terrible for heart burn though!

Slidey

Bear in the Big Blue House crisps.....

The bacony goodness.....

I agree!!! Most yummy!!!:D

May I also nominate Burger Bites and Chikatees to the cheap and cheerful category, however as mentioned by others one pack is never enough!

Ass Fuker

The removal of E numbers has a lot to answer for when it comes to crisps and sweets.

They may have been for people bad but they made things taste nicer.

:mad:

Does anybody remember those bags of pink and yellow popcorn by Tayto - havent seen them since I was about 8 but my god they were heaven in a bag back then

Yellowsubmarine

Has no one mentioned Bikers? Also has anyone noticed chipsticks aren't as chipsticky anymore?

Super-Rush

Nik Naks do a cheese flavour and they are fcuking awesome and i never use the word awesome.

Ma Reilly crisps FTW

Diageio_Man

screaming green mummys are the biz aswell, also meenies.

Rowley Birkin QC

Those monster munch of pure flavour are the way to go, they should just make them all like that, I know I'd pay the extra money!

Mr Benevolent

Skips ftw.

Oh hai. Remember me?

spoofilyj

Beef Hula hoops are savage especially when you geta a really flavoured bag... mmm
Banshee bones are yum, Snaps, Chickities, bikers and meanies make any long car journey a pleasure.
Chipcticks are yummy too but would agree that they are a bit different from what I remember years ago, they used to stick to your mouth more...

On the subject of Monster munch, whats the story with the miltiple brands making monster munch and I think theres one calles Mega monster munch? Which is the original paprika goodness and which is the fake?
Dont forget Burger bites and johnny onion rings Oh I wish I was in ireland so I could stock up on there corn snack goodness...

An Honourable mention to chilli Doritos too...

Chipsticks went to hell a while back, there was no flavour on them whatsoever, but tesco has big packs of them and oh sweet divine lanternin jaysus the salt and vinegary goodness

Tellox

Spicy flavour Nik Naks, and Bikers.

Whenever I find a shop selling either these days (very very rarely), I'd buy several packs for myself. The Tayto online store infact sells Bikers in those bulk 48-pack boxes.. but only to mainland UK. Which in my personal opinion is a bigger disaster than the holocaust.

Niknak's on the other hand can be bought from britsuperstore.com, who I believe ship internationally.
