One from the 70s , quite hard to find these: Sausage & Tomato

I believe Golden Wonder are still making them, my fav crips flavour when I was a nipper.

Don't eat them, far too fattening.

As a kid I used to LOVE Smith's Savory Vinegar flavour crisps. They were so vinegary, they often made the consumer pull a fishy-type face after munching the fourth crisp (sometimes even sooner). I think they got bought-out, somewhat inevitably, by the evil Walkers, & they were scrapped rather sharpish.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

ps Ready Salted (ie 'Plain') Crisps for me these days; or Hoola Hoops.

Smoky Bacon
Prawn
Thai chili

Old school monster munch pickled onion flavor for me. Me and my sister had big fights over that! Sadly it's not the same anymore

I like any salt and vinegar chip that gives me a popeye face - sadly there aren't very many out there anymore...

Leading local favorites, from New Brunswick-based, ex of Scarborough, Maine, Humpty Dumpty Co.: dilly chips (dill and vinegar, like a dill pickle), ketchup, and the recently phased-out sour cream and clam flavor.

The first two are quite nice. The last has a taste reminiscent of low tide in the days before stringent pollution controls.

I'm a bit of a meaty one

has to be steak and onion - They are GORGEOUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[hart's shirt]

Old school monster munch pickled onion flavor for me.

Ditto.

 

[Beach Hut]

Marmite crisps and Scampi & Lemon Nik Nacks

 

[Taybha]

These but the ham flavour which seem to have vanished from the shelves

 

[pasty]

RIP Bovril flavour crisps

Anyone else remember KP Rancheros from the 1970s ?

There were a bacon fries type affair but had flavour far superior to anything I tasted recently. I guess the nearest that comes to them is Wheat Crunchies.

They came in a brown packet with cowboys on the front.

 

[clapham_gull]

So why did Cheese & Onion and Salt & Vinegar packets swap colours years ago

They didn't. It was just that Walkers suddenly became popular, but anyone alive in the 70s will remember Golden Wonder were THE CRISPS.

What ever happened to Ringos ? Can you still get them. There were up there with Scampi and Lemon Nik Naks on the smell factor scale.

 

[Snoop Dogg]

Cheese and onion - No doubt about it!!

I'm also rather partial to those steak favour Roystons though too.....

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

what ever happened to Bugles?
