im like herpes....never quite fcuk hoff!!!
going off summat that sweets said the other day in a thread that the size of monster munch and nik naks have shrunk..........

well gotta say, smiths chipsticks remain the daddy of oldskool crisp!!

none of this foil bag malarky, the design is still the same since 19 nought plonk, they aint shrunk 1 bit, and they come in proper oldskool flavours of ready salted and salt n vinegar:thumbsup:

gerrum bought:love:

none of this sweet chilli n lime or chicken balti with bits in or hedgehog flavoured bollox:condom:
 
Coz I am psuedo posh & shop at Waitrose I had to try Jonathan Crisps at the w/e - & extremely nice they were too :D

Horseradish & Sour Cream :love:

The best bit is the cartoon on the front of the pack they felt most appropriate for horseradish :D

asda were doing frogs legs flavour crisps a while back, wtf?! :confused: Most people probably havent tried frogs legs anyway to know if they even taste right .
Theres some right elaborate crisps around these days (types as sat here munching on "Tesco's finest ~ Party! ~ Honey Glazed Gammon & Wholegrain mustard flavour handcooked crisps" ) ... and breathe! - Takes so long to read the feckin flavour youre half starved by the time you get to open the bag :p

I like 10p crisps, dead nice and you can get away more with eating several bag in one sitting :p :thumbsup:

I want to give honorary crisp award mentions to :

Kettle chips - sea salt n balsamic vinegar
good old walkers plain or cheese n onion
salt n vinegar disco's
bacon or tomato wheat crunchies
sweet chilli walkers sensations
tomato snaps :icecream:
space raiders
square crisps
beef hula hoops
roast beef mccoys
salt n vinegar french fries
nice n spicy nik naks




Pringles can quite frankly, do one. :naughty: and the conclusion was drawn on a mash-up ages ago that the pringles man is a paedophile. He looks shady as fook. :naughty:

Lol!! :thumbsup:

I am liking your honorary crips awards! :D Youve pretty much picked all my faves :thumbsup: good taste ;)

Re the pringles man. I was a bit worse for wear once, quite a while ago in about 92 and one of my mates was playing with the pringles tube spinning it round and round and I swear to god his face was changing on each side (not that you can get sides on a tube, but you know what I mean :rolleyes: ) and I thought he was winking at me, then laughing at me, then frowning :$ I was mesmerised for hours until he started to scare me :| :$

Can I just be a little controversial here and say I got a bad bag of Smith's Chip Sticks last night :( They just weren't up to scratch. They were pretty much exactly the same as the Chipmunk 10p copies, which isn't good.

They are no longer Smiths of course. It's just a front. They have been taken over by Walkers. They got Frazzles at the same time.

The same thing happened with Monster Munch from KP, and look what happened to them.

Walkers don't care about our snacks, they are owned by Frito-Lay (who are owned by Pepsi-Co). They are american ffs, what do they know about savoury snacks, they can't even spell it (it's savoury not savory)!

monster munch have definitely shrunk, its not just that our hands have got bigger , as some pacifists would say. If I want ti kick off royal over crisp shrinkage then I will :naughty:

someones interfered with snaps too , theyre 'stiffer' these days is the only way i can think to describe them :naughty:


and who remembers the Bitza Pizza crisps that used to be around ?! they should bring them back :D

Leicester is / was the crisp capital of the UK surely.... walkers, golden wonder, KP etc... ? :confused: maybe I should don my Lara Croft gear and head back home to kick ass :king:

Always used to get me that one as well. I'd have thought it would have been Lincoln or Kings Lynn or somewhere more in that direction. But no, Leicester (and surrounding area - Ashby-de-la-zouch - love that name) is where it's at crisp wise, no two ways about it.

the only other way i can describe them is like the texture of those 'thai bites', those kind of weird stiff crackers that used to be available a couple of years ago

theyre not the same anyway :naughty:

I know this is a snack thread but reading it has given me another retro flashback.. remember those bloody dancing flowers ? :crazy: :D
Please note everyone, these are not crisps, I repeat : NOT crisps, and I cannot be held responsible if you come across one, attempt to eat it in a quest to see if their shape, size or consistency has changed, and then choke a bit. Or die. ;)
