    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.

    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!

    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!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,904 ✭✭✭satguy


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,696 ✭✭✭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.

    Individual people have different thoughts and understanding in regard to others opinions, but the problem is this... there are some people out there that will do everything in their power to cut you off when they do not like your opinion even when it is truth.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,102 ✭✭✭Digs

    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

    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.
