Crisps

Re: Crisps

Just did a bit of shopping in my Sainsbury's Local earlier on and I was right - Walkers have got some sub-Pringles crisps in a tube on the shelves - "Stax" I think they are called.

Re: Crisps

Smiths are still going strong here in Australia and make the usual flavoured traditional crisps (although they're called chips here). So maybe it's an Aussie pack? I think Smiths still do Salt n Shake and Chipsticks there? (I seem to remember buying some last visit)

Thanks Mulletino, i really wouldn't know, i usually wait in the car whilst er indoors does the grocery shopping....can't be doing with it!

Re: Crisps

Odd, My wife just came home with some shopping which included a six pack of SMITHS crisps which were taken over by Walkers about 20 years ago....what gives?

Monster Munch is a Walkers brand now, isn't it? (Assuming they still make them). They were a Smiths brand in the 1980s and 1990s at least.

I don't think that Walkers have ever done their own version of square crisps (remember Lenny Henry in the adverts?), but I believe that they have tried to do a Pringles-alike version of their crisps by packaging them in a tube. Asda do an own-name brand of them.

Re: Crisps

Did you forget to take them out of the kettle?

Re: Crisps

Thought i would try some kettle chips yesterday....Orrible!, too thick and greasy

You don't need a kettle to make them of course. Are they like McCoy's or Philias Fogg's? (Putting Consett, County Durham on the map).

Stick to Pringles - you can't go wrong, especially with the Prawn Cocktail flavour.

Re: Crisps

Ruffles, as advertised by Kyle McLachlan from "Twin Peaks". (Before 9pm, "These are darn fine crisps"; after 9pm "These are damn fine crisps".)

They were in ad breaks in around 1993 - did the ITC insist on the "damn" version being shown after 9.00 pm? It's the most mildest of words not to allow before the watershed. A lot of people didn't even notice the change until a national newspaper mentioned it.

Mind you, has there ever been any other advert which has had a pre-watershed and a post-watershed version of the same length and style?
