If you mean the mouse with the clear sides and the LEDs, I managed to get one with UV lights in it. Anyone else?

I bought about 8 or so for a lan party - and within a few months most the cables rotted away - the black outer coating if the wire disintegrated exposing the coloured usb wires inside. It was the red light version. Very strange why plastic does this sometimes.

I ended up with one red and one UV. The cables are still fine, but the mice themselves started to fail when the plastic shell began to crack up. I could fix them up no bother, but I snagged a decade old optical mouse off someone shortly after they fell apart, and that's still going!

Good devices made of terrible materials!

I've noticed stuff in Dealz lately (mini closet lights, desk fans) that is much cheaper than the exact same items on Ali express.

For example two closet lights cost me 2.50 on Ali, and I ordered them over a month ago and they have not arrived.

In the meantime I spotted the EXACT same ones in Dealz for 1.50 for 2 and picked them up. They've done the exact job I needed them for

I know some of the Spars with Circle K’s seem to have them also!
I’d say they are selling out fast.

They were in Letterkenny yesterday so I got a couple. But as OmegaGene said, they seem to be flying off the shelves. There was only about 5 bags here.

I bought Sugar Soap in Dealz recently for €1.50, I used it for cleaning walls before repainting and it did such a marvellous job on one of the rooms that I don't need to repaint it now. They sell two types of sugar soap, I used the spraycan variety.

The bones seem to be causing as much hassle and hunting as Furbies when they were released

fin12 · 21-09-2020 8:18pm

Ok my friend just picked up a pack of banshee bones from the Ballycummin Spar Limerick, just now.

Had to ask a worker who had to get them from the store room.

So far in Midleton, Co. Cork I've tried:
Dealz,
Homesavers,
Euro Giant,
Lidl,
Tesco,
Super Valu,
Mr Price
McCarthy's News

Not a single banshee bone to be found anywhere, they're rarer than true love m8s.

Salty vinegary heaven in a bag. Plus, they are only released around halloween so there's a limited window to gorge

My last memory of them is shops being left with packets of them that were out of date because they weren't selling.

I'd say on a par. Chipstix are way more vinegary but banshee bones have a nice salty/vinegary aftertaste. Anyway not worth trying, leave them for the rest of us as there isn't enough to go around

Anyone remember the saltnvinegar French Fries with the Frenchman in a stripy shirt and a beret going "oh la la" on the bag lol.

I am pretty sure chipstix changed their texture a while back, they used to be standout snacks but last ones I had I think were like run of the mill stick in your teeth crap cheap ones.

Meanies & burger bites also changed. Crunchos became really soft, I read some kid broke a tooth and so it changed. Rancheros also taste like a knockoff cheapo version now.

Its not just crisps, its sweets too. They are all looking to make it cheaper with the same old wrappers. They are NOT the same as they were in the 1980's.
Cadburys has been bought and sold, they took out the dairy content and sugar and replaced it with palm oil and artificial sweetner.

Mc Cowans and Trebor, Barret, swizzlers. All the same old wrappers and visual merchandising but the sweets arent the same.

Soft drinks, Coke, Pepsi and loads other changed their recipe to save a few pence to save millions.

Yes they were smokey bacon not salt and vinegar. They were lovely, flavour wise they were like Wheelies but they had a better texture.

I agree, chipsticks have more air in them now. The old ones were denser where now all the maize style crisps seem aerated. Chickatees are the same. When you bite into them they seem to have large holes. I think it affects the flavour too. Half the packets you get these days are bland.

Lidl had big bags of ranchero style crisps a few months ago. Dunno if they were a special or if they're in all the time but they were goooooood..... hard and crunchy

Speaking of Smokey bacon do you remember Sam Spud Smoky Bacon - they were unreal. Also Hunky Dorey also brought out smokey bacon but only for a short while

Sam Spudz smokey bacon were lovely. But when they were bought out by Largo (I think) and the Gweedore plant closed, the quality dropped so much.

Banshee Bones are at Lidl from Thursday the 1st October!
