Yeah, most of these can still be bought in Musgraves and other main wholesalers.. I always end up buying a box of one of these.. cant help myself...

As for Farmer Brown crisps, the Worcester sauce ones were the best and their onion rings are the best I've ever tasted and have yet to be beaten.

Do you know where you can purchase said crisps?

Did anyone ever have transform-a-snacks? They were the shít!

Pickled Onion, Saucy BBQ and Spicy flavour all in one line of crisps. Best thing was you could piece the different shaped crisps together and make different things! Genius idea.

So have Hot Lips been mentioned?
Are they still on sale?
They were the tits

Kenny_D · 23-01-2009 05:57PM

No mention of Postman Pat crisps yet!! Loved the prawn cocktail ones

Arthurdaly · 23-01-2009 06:01PM

Chrun chos were the biz, hot dog flavoured apparently.

gloobag · 23-01-2009 06:10PM

Also Fright Bites, salt 'n' vinegar flavour, loved them.

phasers · 23-01-2009 06:59PM

Snaps. They're still around, but I can only ever find a packet once in a blue moon

Best crisps ever invented!

Oh and that pink and yellow popcorn, that was class

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

LOL!

Nightowl84 · 23-01-2009 09:27PM

Nice one on naming Totem, Cheerilee. I haven't seen them since Senior Infants!

XxXciaraxXx · 23-01-2009 10:46PM

Best crisp ever! They were great. I remember when they were being phased out and got harder to get.

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

Cool! Were they barry mcguigan flavour? sweat and leather

Cheerilee · 24-01-2009 01:59AM

lol at that clip Twanda

I dont know what the euro equivalent of a penny sweet is or if they exist any more at all:)

RonMexico · 24-01-2009 02:15PM

I'm baffled as to where some of the people in this thread actually live. 99% of the crisps mentioned are available.

big b · 24-01-2009 02:21PM

Anyone remember 49'ers?

Can't remember the shape, but it wasn't standard crisp shape. Must've been a concoction of chemicals, but they were totally addictive, especially with a few pints.

That's what happens when you use txt spk.

Nobody takes you seriously.

Please refrain from using txt spk. It hurts my eyes and/or brain. Thanks.

Help me,

I've been looking for the name of these crisps for yonks, they were akin to rancheros but they were more substantial, they kind of looked like a club that a neanderthal would be dragging around all knobbly and tapered at the end, they were so delicious, anyone know?

Are you sure its not Crun-chos you're thinking of. Mankind's finest hour.
