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?
My Gran always had salt & vinegar around but I could only take one or two as the vinegar on them would make my mouth sort of burn (never liked it on chips either). There are modern chips I will avoid because they load the salt on too heavy, will but the low salt ones if I see them. I usually like sour cream & onion as far as flavours go. My Mum like dill pickle... again I can't scoff more than one or two of hers, hmmm, maybe that's why they like those choices? There was a curry flavour I liked but can't find them anymore, gone years ago, my boyfriend was even crazier for them.
