Much better than Monster Munch

satguy

Back in the day, one snack stood out... For me, it was KP Outer Spacers.

They came in great new flavors, and one packet was never enough.

What was your bag,, back in the day.

Chipsticks.

Tatyto cheese and onion. And still is to this day

Twiglets.

Why can't you get them in Ireland?

Is it something to do with Catholicism?

I loved Monster Munch-can only imagine the amount of additives in them!

how.gareth

A team crisps, 5p a pack, think faces hot lips kept going for years but the others disappeared

Ipso

Trekkers & Chikatees, although they were reserved for a different social strata and not for sh1t munchers.

Loved KP Crunchies, not many more did as they stopped making them!

It was 8p into the swimming pool at Northside Shopping Center,, if you had 20p, you had enough for a swim, a bag of KP Outer Spacers, and Two loose smokes.

Happy Days..

They stopped making loads of stuff probably because they found out it was lethal, noting tastes as good as the old days.

King Crun-chos. Hot dog flavoured crisps. The high point of the corn based snack industry.

There’s a definite market for the relaunch of discontinued crisps.

AllGunsBlazing

Jonnie Onion Rings. Haven't had a pack in ages but used to savage into them back in the day.

Banshee bones. Eating the flavour dust in the end of the bag was like pouring vinegar straight into your eyes.

These were amazing... I read somewhere they discontinued them because some people broke some teeth eating them. They had to change the ingredients but they were never the same and discontinued:( There’s a Facebook page in their honour

I remember Outer Spacers a long time ago. I used to buy two packets of them and then go into the chipper and purchase a tub of curry sauce and dip them into it, really delicious that was.

That's what they're called in Japan.

Always loved the 10p packet of Mummies when I was young but I remember they changed the flavouring slightly haven't seen them in years.

Discos. What I wouldn’t give for a bag!!

Happy days?

At least they were til they barred you for being a middle-aged man hanging around the kiddie's pool, smoking your fags and trying to lure the kiddies out with a bag of shite crisps

Hula Hoops.

Chipsticks used to be great. So vinegary they’d make your gob pucker up like a tomcat’s arsehole. Bought a bag of them recently and they were very disappointing.

Anyone remember Fritters?

Were only around fot a short while mid 90s.

Losing a tooth is a small price to pay in the pursuit of snacking nirvana. People should stick to tofu and cottage cheese if they aren’t prepared for a corn-based snack dental injury.

I came here to say this. They were amazing.

Every and again I'll eat a bag of hot lips/wheelies/space raiders but they're not the same at all anymore now that they're 'healthier'.

Can't beat Banshee Bones but on occasion a pack of Hot Lips worked a treat.

They were banned because of the microaggression.

Grab All Association

Bikers, Perri C+O and O’Reilly’. Rascals, Hula Hoops Shoks (2002) I know they’re not that old but why they discontinued them I’ll never know. They sold off the shelves.

Quavers were always nice, at least back when I could eat such things (Had teeth).



But, cheese puffs were the be all and end all! I could happily sit here with a sack of those! :pac:

Irish Guitarist

I joined Barry McGuigans fan club in the early to mid eighties. Not because I liked boxing but because I loved his range of crisps. They used to send out a fan club magazine. One of the headlines in the magazine was 'Barrys Number One Fan' accompanied by a picture of a kid in a wheelchair. I remember getting jealous because I considered myself his number one fan seeing as how I was buying his crisps almost every day. I didn't think it was right that your man in the wheelchair was stealing my thunder.

First had meanies in Yorkshire in early 90's and fell in love.
I recall a limited edition of curry-flavoured chipstick style crisps. Chip shop curry, not Indian. Can't remember the name...

Thephantomsmask

Meanies *drool*

I will admit to being prone to the odd binge on crisps which I should have stopped eating when I was 12. I'm in my 30s now.

They're full of E numbers, empty calories, all of that, but I don't care because they're like fúcking meth. I'd suck your dick for a 6 pack of Meanies or pickled onion Monster Munch. But I don't need to do that, because the multi-packs are about €1.50 in Tesco and I'm an adult now, I can buy like 10 bags of that shít even if I were broke.

And now they have 'share bags'. Haha...'share'. That's all lovely and cute, but just not applicable to my real world.

Dynomutt

Tayto Ripples Barbecue Spare Ribs Flavour. I always used to buy a bag when renting a video or two from Xtravision.
They vanished while Sour Cream & Onion lingered for a while afterwards.

Do they still sell Perri Prawn Cocktail?

Bikers and hot lips, beautiful

I'm with you on the "share" bag. What a joke.
There is no way there is enough there to share, and they know it. The same approach was taken with the Mars bar. Gradually over time they made it smaller and smaller, then brought out a king-size Mars bar or "Twin Mars Bar", which was the same size as the original Mars bar! Shafted the consumer! A con!

kildare lad

Crunchos were delicious when i was younger, havent had a packet in ages. Nik Naks were like them but my local shop stopped selling them too

The original monster munch, I remember I found a big ball of spice in a packet one day, It was beautiful!


Anyone remember prawn cocktail crunchies? they were beautiful!

Potential-Monke

Never mind bringing back old brands of them, where the fook are the Fat Frogs!!! Was there so many E's in them that they can't make them again?! I've been waiting years HB, get the finger out!!

justfillmein

crisps are my favourite food item:P
I couldn't remember the names of some, but the memories are all here in the posts:)
