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

    They were banned because of the microaggression.

    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:

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Problem is Grace, you mentioned the Marmite. That would cause some to man the barricades against their import.

    I had a packet of skips for the time in years the other week and it was like a party in my mouth
