Not if you get the multipacks which are disappointingly tiny. And the single packs are worryingly expensive

When I was a kid crisps cost 7p. I used to bye a packet of crisps and a Mars bar for 14p.

Potato Puffs! They used to come in massive sized bags and were full of air. When we went swimming at school we always bought these after as they were so cheap and lasted forever. Seem to remember they were only ever plain and beef flavoured.

18 of the top 20 sellers are owned by walkers. And they're owned by pepsico. It's a UK monopoly! But I love crisps, my major vice. Grab bags are just the snack version of super-sizing which hit fast food 20 years ago. Surprised it took so long. And you have to admire the way mars, cadburys etc committed to ending king size bars as part of health and well being govt programmes...only to replace with the "to share" concept which was actually 2 wispa bars etc and even bigger! Genius! Ultimately it's consumer responsibility in my opinion. No one forces me to stuff my face but me. Anyway, long live the grab bag! I'd eat one now if only my wife bought them in the weekly shop

Wasn't it Oscar Wilde who once said "When you're tired of crisps......you're tired of life"

In Japan I would say the core flavours are Ready Salted, Chicken Consomme (basically Roast Chicken flavour), Soy Sauce and Seaweed.
On BA flights back home I'm usually gasping for some good old S&V and often refuse the in flight meal in favour of stuffing my face full of the free crisps and Cadbury's chocolate that they keep stashed at the back of the plane.

I remember when Frazzles and Chipsticks were 10p. They are the deity of crisps.
Anyone remember tomato ketchup monster munch? What happened to them? Monster Munch have generally been untouched over the years. But the ketchup ones never seemed to take off.
