Heaven was a bag of Curry Chips, a (plain) Galaxy and a friday evening with Revenge of Shinobi or Golden Axe.
Oh how I miss those days of innocence.

Did someone mention Perri crisps - The cheese and onion were divine!

Cant believe it took 50 something posts till perri crisps got mentioned!! They were the first ones I thought of!

Bikers and Curry Chips. I remember getting them in secondary school. The guy on the packet of curry chips reminded me of Raiden from Mortal Kombat. Also Thai Rings too.

Second call for Captain America crisps...

Someone please tell me they remember them and I am not going crazy

All the crisps that have disappeared are on an island in the middle of the pacific being passed around by survivors of a plane wreck.

Those 5p crisps. Probably still around but due to inflation there now one euro.

The crowd that made em were called "fives" they were lovely, favourite flavour was sausage and bean!

Has anyone seen "Mummies" around?

On the pack they were called screaming green mummies, they were the business!

All still available!

Monster Munch as we knew it is now Mega Munch.

Does anyone remember the backs of the packets of Monster Munch that had information about various monsters. The only one they ever printed was "The Cyclops". I think I remember him having horns on his elbows...

How about crunchies? I havent seen them in a long time. they were in a blue and pink packet and prawn cocktail flavour.

Smokey Bacon Tayto

I used to love Chickatees. I used to crush one at a time against the roof of my mouth. After doing this several times one would be left with a delicious Chickatee pancake.

Cheezels?

''Alien Spacers'' - were they the ones that had two different colour crisps in the packet? The normal colour and an orange colour? Loved those when I was a kid!!

lisbon_lions · 23-01-2009 02:09PM

Am i right in saying there was Barry McGuigan crisps at a time? I think I remember seeing them as a young'un?

Hot lips (if no one mentioned) stingy tangy flavour - lovely.
Bikers - just for the tiny grains left over at the bottom - explode in yer mouth.
Cant remember thier name but there was a curry flavour 10p pack of crisps out too - mmmh.

Cheerilee · 23-01-2009 02:20PM

The candy Popcorn was called Totem..
I can't believe no one else remembers the name

They were 7p a bag so you could get a bag of neon coloured popcorn and 3 penny sweets for 10 pence .. then you just had to spend at least 15 mins deciding which three sweets to choose .. decisions decisons

no wonder the shopkeeper really hated us ..:D

DenMan · 23-01-2009 02:26PM

I'd also like to add Space Cadets and Ghosties. Does anybody remember them? Both corn flavour. Lovely indeed.

I think, though not fully sure, that the candy popcorn was from King.
