The Phileas Fogg range of snacks were fantastic.

Particularly the extra hot tortillas that came on a black packet.

The petrol station I worked at in the early 90s spent a fortune on them. And the snickers/mars ice creams I cooled my mouth down with after a packet.

Lord Toffinghams have already been mentioned but I loved them. Quite liked Jolly Jellys as well.

Sausage and Tomato were crisp royalty. I think you can still order them online and there was a newsagent in Chalton St near Kings X that sold them a few years ago.
