Krunchi [sic] Puffs were still sold in local newsagents in the mid 1980s still priced 5p (which sounded more like a mid 1970s price to be honest). Around where I used to go to school, no one had heard of litterbins as I used to see many empty crisp packets on the pavement, especially on a windy day, and they were one of them.
Wickers were nothing to do with Sir Alan Whicker, but they were advertised on TV, usually the one with a judge in a court (in a wig of course), singing: "these are wonderful Wickers, and wonderful Wickers are these" or something. Or have I got the song wrong over the years? Anyone know?Leave a comment:

A few years ago Walkers Crisps did a special anniversary TV advert (with Lineker in tow), and towards the end of the advert, they shown in quick succession a range of (empty) crisp packets over the years, around seven of them, having to slow-motion the advert to see them carefully when they were on YouTube.
The first one said "Walkers Potato Crisps" on the packet - I assume that the "potato" word was dropped by the 1980s. I think that this was when they put the price on the packet (5d or whatever). And I believe that up to the 1970s the packets looked like that (I think I saw Leonard Rossiter as Rigsby eating crisps out of similar packet in an episode of Rising Damp).
Anyone got pictures of early Walkers Crisps packets, and does anyone know when they were in the shops originally?Leave a comment:
