I agree with you on the c&o/sandwich thing but where Hula Hoops are concerned, I dont' think the hoops have got smaller. The reason why we can't put them on our fingers any more is because we are now adults and our fingers have grown.

Re: Favourite Crisps Brand & Favourite Flavour

Id have to include those Golden Wonder crisps from the late 70s with flavours like Sausage and Tomato.

I remember some vile "crisps" more like puff type things but they were loaded with E numbers and flavourings, they came in banana and strawberry flavour too.

But my favourite crisps ever would be Salt and Vinegar squares.

I do remember those. Disgusting they were. Absolutely sickening. I have always had a strong stomach, but i could not manage more than half a dozen of the strawberry ones without wanting to puke.

One flavour I do remember with fondness was Tudor's 'Roast Pork & Apple Sauce' which were only around for a brief time.

Also loved Tudor's Gammon flavour.

IIRC Walkers had a Gammon Flavour at one time in the late 1980s - early 90s?

Re: Favourite Crisps Brand & Favourite Flavour

Anyone remember "Brannigans" crisps? They were thicker than standard crisps (but not ridge cut). They came in only a couple of flavours - Roast Beef and Mustard; and Smoked Ham and Pickle. I loved the Smoked Ham ones, they had a totally unique flavour. Not many places used to sell them, and they can't have been all that popular as they disappeared not long after.

I also liked "Nik-Naks" 20 or so years ago, but find them a bit mundane and indifferent now. Maybe my tastes have changed, or the recipe has changed (no doubt there was all sorts of artificial "nasties" in them or something!)

There were a few "traditional" style crisps around at one time, led by Smith's Jackets.

I still like Nik Naks, don't have them often though.

I'll keep my eyes open for them, not seen them in the big supermarkets, but then again I try to get in and out of those places as quickly as possible!

Re: Favourite Crisps Brand & Favourite Flavour

I remember Smiths Flavour & Shake which never worked very well.

One of my friends at school often had Tudor Salt & Pepper crisps.

Re: Favourite Crisps Brand & Favourite Flavour

Flavour and shake never heard them.

I remember salt and shake salt in a small blue packet.
I liked them ate too many bags of them.

Flavour & shake didn't last long, were only around 1986-7.

Re: Favourite Crisps Brand & Favourite Flavour

Did anyone try those 'bring back' Walkers crisps? I was great to have toasted cheese and beef 'n' onion again.
