Can you still buy these Perri Cheese and Onion in regular shops?

Can you still get PUB crisps?:
I can't find an image for them anywhere.
They were NOT the King red bag or the King blue bag.
I think they were possibly a white or pale yellow bag, there may have been red/blue/brown writing?, but the word PUB was written massive across the front center.
They might possibly have been Perri, Tayto, or King in an old packaging.

Pretty sure they were King "PUB" Crisps. Basically king cheese and onion but in a bigger bag. Dont know if ya can still get them though.

They could have been, there was a tiny little logo near the top but I can't remember if it was the King head, or the Perri chef. I just know that they were in a pale bag, and it's annoying I can't find a picture.:(

I did find a picture of Bikers while searching though!

Don't think I liked them though. :-)

I refer to this phenomenon as the "Tayto Surprise" as cheese and onion Tayto's seem to be the worst offenders in standardising and quality control. Some times you get a wonderful bag of Taytos. True beauties, and on those days they are the greatest crisp in the world. Other days you get seriously bad crisps, and they can be worse than any other manufacturers worst offerings. The range of Taytos quality is so completely vast that I coined the term "Tayto Surprise" in honour of them.

Tayto are definitely the worst for that, they were talking about it on the Ray Darcy show one day and it's all to do with the season the potatoes are picked so I think the ones with a september best before date are supposed to be the nicest!

However I gave up smoking nearly 2 months ago and since then Tayto always taste like peanuts, don't know why

God I'd love a pack of Irish Pringles right now.. They're just not the same out here.

Once I even bought seaweed flavour by mistake because it has the same green packaging.

King Cheese and Onion and Perri Prawn Cocktail are the dogs bollucks though.
