Re: Crisps

IIRC my brother wanted one of those watches & sent off for one, but the demand was so high he never received one.

Re: Crisps

I remember my Mum used to get Riley's crisps from our local Greengrocers, who seemed to be the only place to sell them locally.

Re: Crisps

Nice thread. Being born in 1985 though I'd like to see some more late 80s/90s crisp memories. Does anyone remember (my personal favourite), Spaghetti Sauce Monster Munch? I'm also baffled why Walkers discontinued the Lamb and Mint Sauce flavour Sensations, which I think first appeared in the late 90s.
Was pleased to stumble accross Happy Snax on here. I remember they used to sold in multipacks in clear packaging, much like Kellogg's variety packs of cereal.
There's one more wild card I'm gonna put out there.. I remember in the very early 90s there was a rounded sort of crisp, can't remember what flavour, (perhaps beef/bbq) which looked like Discos. I think they were Looney Tune themed and actually had a print of Looney Tune characters actually on the crisp itself. Id be surprised if anyone can remember that!

Re: Crisps

Does anyone remember Tudor Tatties? I can't remember much about them; I think they were a snack rather than a crisp, and there was a TV advert for them that had a Scottish voice saying "Get your Tudor Tatties laddie". I think it must have been around the mid 70s. Nobody I know can remember them.
