American style Crunchos, anywhere???

joseph brand

Was searching everywhere on net for some info on this seemingly extinct brand of snacks/crisps.

I think they are made by King, who don't even have a website.

Can't find them anywhere.

They come in a red packet, are hot dog flavoured, in crazy shapes like stalagmites or stalactites.

Where could I find these as I would murder a 24 packet box of them in a heart beat??

@tovalee
They are similar to the Nik Naks on that page.

It says on that page:

Back by popular demand! Scampi n Lemon Nik Naks made a welcomed return last year after 1000’s of requests to reinstate this old favourite!

I wonder if the same could be done to get Crunchos back on the scene?.

I remember these they used to sell them in my school tuck shop but I doubt they still do. I was totally addicted to them and their "hot dog" flavour. Now I really want a pack!

yeah they were a school tuck shop favourite in my area too. until a cruncho was thrown in anger during a food fight. the place was a mess of limbs, blood and hot dog flavoured corn snacks.

i miss the french fries crisps more though. found a shop that sells them, then they ran out and haven't had them since.

also, nik naks are the king of crisp-snack things.

i remember them. haven't seen them in years.

Terry

I remember crunchos, they used to be on the shelves of a shop in the middle of the bog in kildare! I used to have them for luch everyday in a bagutte! i have not seen them for about 5 years!

I think it is time to start a campaign for the return of crunchos!

Terry

yay, found some nik naks in superquinn in lucan today.
they have rid 'n' saucy, nice 'n' spicy and cream 'n' cheesy.

i bought 4 packs of each and got funny looks from the girl behind the counter.

The only place your going to find crunchos (if they still make them) is in a wholesale place like musgraves or a value-centre..
Ah they were 13p aswell, i'd love a pack of them now must go hunting for them soon..
And mummies i love them aswell havent seen them around in a while either..

Not if I kill you first.

The snack of gods, they were.

Just the other day I got hungry thinking about them. I hate some regular tayto until I was full, but still they could just not satisfy me.....

I want crunchos again!

country_gurl

well guys, i had this craving a couple months ago... and i actually posted it on here... i took it upon myself to email kings, and they replied saying they do not make them anymore... so unless a petition starts.... we're all crunchoed out...
nik naks are nice but they not as crunchy as crunchos.... mmmmm

iPlop

American crunchos ,for god sake bring them back people ,bloomin nick nacks are not the same ,simple..

Mackman

I loved cruncho's. The only place that i knew had them was the local pub, whenever they got a box of them, they'd be gone in one night

Cheetos and Flaming Hot Cheetos were my favorites when I lived in the States. I'm assuming these "Crunchos" are a version of them. I was actually thinking of opening an American food shop over here as you just can't find American style junk food anywhere. Hostess cakes, Fritos, Funyuns....oh the memories.

Overheal

I could tell you what a twinkie was. or a debbie cake. or a mr.goodbar. or a pop tart. but what the **** is a cruncho?
