Sriracha.. ...asian spice

Too exotic for me - they should have done that for their Do Us a Flavour campaign that they had.

Re: Crisps

They were either for a free packet of crisps or money (50p or something - the equivalent value to one packet) off a eight pack of Walkers Crisps - done very similar to Wonka's Golden Tickets or the plastic toys found inside the boxes of Kellogg's Corn Flakes.

It's odd because I am sure that in one of the adverts, Lineker had opened of the sachets and found a £20 note inside them, unless it was pretend play Monopoly money if you know what I mean.

I remember these well, I won quite a few free bags but in one little blue sachet there was a cheque for £1.00 and the signature on the cheque was a (printed) signature by Gary Lineker. As it was only for a quid I never cashed it in and if I remember rightly it is hidden in my parents house inside a display china teaset they had. I wonder if it's still there?

Re: Crisps

Talking about crisps, does anyone remember the Walkers Crisps promotion circa 1993 where some packs had a blue sachet which often contained an voucher for a few packet of crisps (or money off a six pack of crisps)?

The adverts (which were some of the first that Gary Lineker did) had showed Lineker finding a blue sachet with a £20 note inside, although I very much doubt that actual banknotes were contained inside them. Of course, they were very similar to the salt sachets that Smiths Salt 'n' Shake Crisps had a few years before.

I had a couple of these vouchers. Generally they were for a free packet of crisps. I don't think they were allowed to put any cash (notes) in them. I may be wrong. One person who I then worked with I think had a voucher for a multiple pack.

Re: Crisps

I was wondering how many flavours from that "Do us a Flavour" competition from around ten years ago are still being made for Walkers Crisps? Someone at the time obviously suggested Hedgehog flavour (a favourite with university students, no doubt).

Re: Crisps

Re: Putting salt and vinegar on plain crisps. Yes, I have done that before, though putting vinegar on was equally as unsuccessful as a previous poster's wife's attempts. Putting salt on was far better. I recall Smith's did put a little sachet of salt in the packet. My dad told me that salt sachets were very common in packets of crisps back in the 40s. Not sure if all crisps were plain back then.

Re: Crisps

That's the picture of the crisps. I would have thought it would be more popular now as there are concerns about salt content in foods. But of course it will not work, as it gives the consumer a choice. In this day and age it has to be forced on the nation.

Re: Crisps

When I was a child I recall eating crisps made by Golden Wonder. There was also a brand of crisps which contained a shachet of salt, which could be added at the desired amount.

That'd be Smith's Salt n Shake. They still seel them, but they are now Walkers Salt n Shake.
