Re: Crisps

Apparently they are available again. Check this link http://www.goldenwonder.com/ringos-brand.asp

What on Earth have they done with that logo? It's hideous!

Cheese and onion Ringos used to be my favourites (I remember they had some good mail-aways, too) so it'll be interesting to see if they still taste the same to my nostalgia-addled palette.

Re: Crisps

What/who's logo are you referring too ?

Re: Crisps

I think you'll find that website has not been updated for a good few years. Ringos came and went again in 2007. On that page they are also advertising Golden lights, which are not made anymore either AFAIK

Re: Crisps

I collect beermats and have a number of old XL Crisp mats (they are probably 1950s/60s) I don't know when this brand was first marketed but I think they are now owned by Golden Wonder. I will endeavour to attach pictures in due course if I can find out how to do this

Re: Crisps

I have a vague recollection of some chicken crisps that were like a criss cross shape. Might have been called Whickers?

Re: Crisps

Don't remember the strawberry fizz ones but I remember the lemonade ones and the school cleaner's face when she tried one.
One of the kids gave me a load of packets because I liked them.

I definetly remember Wickers and the medieval themed advert for them.

Does anyone remember hedgehog flavoured crisps!

They tasted suspiciously like chicken flavour crisps.

Re: Crisps

I remember the adverts.... clumsy Clumsy Colin, the comic strip he and the Quavers dog (plus The Big Daddt strip) in The Buster comic. There was also a computer game based on Clumsy Colin as well.

Re: Crisps

Oh my word! SAY CHEESE!!!!!! I loved them. No-one else can remember them and I was beginning to think I'd dreamt them up.

Re: Crisps

I remember only the Skydivers in Salt & Vinager, quite nice though the figures were often brokwn up badly by the time I opened the packet.
