    They do in some pubs actually. Never seen anyone buy it.

    The thing I miss most about Ireland is breakfast rolls. You can buy bacon rolls, egg rolls and sausage rolls, but never all three together.

    Bit incorrect. Shows your age :P

    What you know as 'Mighty Munch' were 'Monster Munch' here in Ireland for years.

    In the 90s, Walkers started selling crisps here (They had their own Monster Munch)

    To avoid confusion, they bought the rights to the name Monster Munch in Ireland.

    Our Monster Munch then became Mighty Munch.

    I seem to be the only person who was bothered by this :pac:

    Cause we base our culture around them, speak their language and have equally **** weather, why not base everything else around them to...

    Yeah, those old monster munch were great. Better value than other crisps for a long time as the price held at 18p. After the walkers ones came along the tayto ones changed their recipe for a while and they tasted terrible. Hmm... I should get some at the next opportunity. Maybe some of both to compare.
