Monster munch

How come we never got the other flavours of monster munch over here?

I can only ever find the yellow spicey crisps. I want my pickled onion flavour crisps right now dammit!

Go for the Mega Meanies then. Cheaper greener and most importantly Made In Ireland. Theres also a red monster on the front of the packet if its the whole monster thing you're after.

Sound advice pighead..OR you could get a packet of generic crisps and eat them with a jar of pickled onions,they'd last longer too.

dlofnep · 08-06-2006 01:12PM

Monster much are tasty. Think I'll go loot a pack from the canteen.

Why did we only ever get the little fact box on the cyclops?

When Monster Munch first came out I thought that we were going to be regularly enlightened with facts about various mythological beasts.... but no... it was always the bloody cyclops.

you ll be glad you can recognise one once armegeddon happens. then there ll be bucket loads of cyplopssssses about. and those who were paying attention to their monster munch will survive.

its basic darwinian theory

Have you ever tried putting a few monster munch in vodka and then drinking it? Lovely. Works with beer as well.

Wigertoods · 08-06-2006 01:31PM

Don't ye just love the way they get caught in your teeth.
(The monster munch that is).:D

What happened did you let some fall in and then drink your drink anyway?:)

I love monster munches I rarely get eat to them because my little sister loves them too and she's does tae kwon do and she's a sneaky little bitch so if she hasn’t nicked them from my bag she kicks me till I hand them over!
I love Mega Meanies too
in fact i love all crisp's but the ones that uses to be 10p rule

They are in Ireland, in a purple pack I believe, but you have to be prepared to travel into the country for em. Any small newsagent in a small village is good bet.

petes · 08-06-2006 01:55PM

Only thing I didn't like about Monster Munch was, you might get three of them in the pack covered in flavouring and the rest are as as dry as fook.

Vegeta · 08-06-2006 01:57PM

haven't they changed the name to mighty munch

I haven't seen a real packet of monster munch in years

For the record best crisps/taytos/snack in a bag ever

DOLEMAN · 08-06-2006 01:58PM

I think Mighty Munch are the Irish ones (Tayto or something) and Monster Munch are the UK ones (Walkers?)

They both taste the same though...

Vegeta · 08-06-2006 02:15PM

ahhhh that would explain it then, I haven't seen the walkers version in years though

monkeyfudge · 08-06-2006 02:29PM

Yeah... I just went to the shop to buy 2 packets... I asked for Monster Munch and I got Mighty Munch... it's just not on... it's a completely different type of munch.

No cyclops either.

Oh.. and for a price check : 46c

Terry · 08-06-2006 02:45PM

we got ripped on the 10p crisps.
they used to weigh 20 grammes, but now they are 16 grammes and cost 20 cent. ****.

mind you, i regularly pay €2.20 for a pack of walkers thai sweet chili. nicest crisps ever (except for nice 'n spicy flavour nik naks).

the Shades · 08-06-2006 02:51PM

Tayto made Monster Munch under liscence from KP or Walkers one of the two until KP/Walkers decided to expand their product line in the Irish market. As a result Tayto changed the name and declared a 'new improved flavour' at the same time.

Oobie · 08-06-2006 03:01PM

Mighty Munch (old monster munch) are much better than the walkers monster munch. I'd love some now!

08-06-2006 03:03PM

The old monster munch were a lot yummier

Pigman II · 08-06-2006 03:19PM

I remember I once managed to get a packet of non puple monster monster munch (I got the fat blue guy , beef iirc?) and I almost instinctively savoured each crisp as if I knew a day like this would not come again

Anyway Alien Spacers kicked monster munches ass. Tasted nicer and instead of ol cyclops everytime you instead got an assortment of 8 comic strips.

All the crisps have changed since we were younger, they aint the same. Less in the bag and smaller bags.

Are they really tho? I used to think the same but then I found a box containing all my old toys from when I was a kid and as I held them in my hand to my dismay I could tell that each and every one of them had shrunk over the intervening years.

Ruu_Old · 08-06-2006 03:33PM

That or more hands got bigger

monkeyfudge · 08-06-2006 03:36PM

I walked up Bray Head recently and it's no where near as big as it was when I was a kid... bloody rip off.

Baggly · 08-06-2006 03:38PM
