DovertheRoad Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 I knew this would turn into a trip down crisp memory lane but at least we all agree Walkers are average to poor.Anyway I reckon crisp spotting for rare yet still available brands is a worthy past time. Often the most off piste newsagent is a treasure trove. If so post your rare findings here.

Louisa Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 If you like rare finds of the crisp variety, then a trip to the newsagent in Dulwich Village will not disappoint. They sold ready salted Smith's Chipsticks not so long ago. Not seen them anywhere else in many years. I also quite like Space Raiders, against Mr L's better judgement! Also, not a fan of Walkers. OK with a sandwich, but they try to disguise themselves as a heritage brand when in fact, they've been part of PepsiCo for years, which pretty much wiped out Tudor and Smith's. Louisa.

Nigello Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Space Invaders - the ones in the yellow/blue packet - were delicious. Hula Hoops are a nice treat every now and then. Golden Wonder chicken flavour (veggie friendly, I think) were very nine.

numbers Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Dovertheroad - I was hoping the venerable HonaloochieB would come back to post on this thread to provide expert and humorous analysis of just how inferior Walkers crisps are Was it quids who said Golden Wonder not as good as Walkers? Madness. (Shakes head).GW FAR superior and still going strong in Scotland. Recently tried their haggis flavour - perfect. Mackies crisps also Scottish brought out a haggis & cracked black pepper flavour (rolls eyes). Nowhere near as good as GW plus everyone knows it's white pepper with haggis. Pickled onion & Worcestershire sauce are available too.Interested to hear if Discos salt & VIOLENTKY vinegar are still around. There used to be EXTREME vinegar flavour in separate sachets but can't remember brand, anyway I digress.

If so I'll mke a special trip. I miss those things! Everywhere does the Salt & Vinigar, but they're just not the same.

jaywalker Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Could someone tell me where I can get Tyrrell's lobster cocktail crisps? They won a 'good taste' award a couple of years ago; ever since then I've been on the look-out, but never seen them. I just know they are for me.

Otta Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 That's the problem with these internet rumours. Once they're out there, someone is always going to accept them as truth, and in the future, some poor sap will believe that shit.Even though I know the truth, I feel that my relationship with Monster Munch has been damaged, and I'll always have that shadow of doubt in the back of my mind.Once the trust has gone...
