Seeing as a lot of threads on here lately are all of a similar vein......

Cheese puffs.

From the past - discos, smiths square crisps (salt and vinegar), space raiders (pickled onion)

I'm not a big eater of crisps mind!

McCoys for me. Or sensations Thai Sweet Chilli.

I love crisps!

Personal fav's:

- Walkers prawn cocktail
- Frazzles
- Marmite own brand
- Beef Monster munch

My brother works in crisps.  He makes a packet. 

Any make salt and vinegar for me.  Aldi do an equivalent of the McCoys, bloody luvverly!!

Roast beef monster munch
Roysters beef flavour
Any kettle chips
Twiglets

Can't remember the last time I had a packet of crisps. Usually just end up nicking a few of the kids Wotsits or Quavers.

Hot headz habanero crisps

Salt and Vinegar Squares.

Pickled Onion Monster Munch.

Frazzles
Red Sky West Country Bacon & Cream Cheese Crisps
Scampi Fries
Chilli Doritos

Scampi Fries
Walkers Smokey Bacon
Burton's Fish 'N' Chips http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/4526817/Burtons-Fish-N-Chips-is-voted-your-fave-retro-snack.html

Worcester sauce.

Nice 'n' Spicey Nik Naks
Cheese Doritios
Flaming Hot Monster Munch

Also can't wrong with a traditional pack of Walkers

They are the best thing ever invented - FACT!

For me its Sensations Caramelised Onion & Balsamic Vinegar.

But I'm no crisp snob, I'm just as happy with a grab bag of Walkers S & V, C & O and to a lesser degree, ready salted.

McCoys Mexican Chilli are also ace.

Edit: I'd forgotten Doritos (cheese) - with a Salsa dip........aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggghhhhhhhhh........ 8)

mmmmmm crisps. Another big up for McCoys mexican chilli here. Can't go wrong with a bag of Walkers cheese and onion either. Remember those fish and chips from the school tuck shop and they were nice(biscuits though)
Anyone remember puffs? They were cheap tuck shop crisps too but were really nice. Aint seen them for years.

Smiths square S&V check.

Roysters beef flavour, check.

Cheese quavers, check.

Walkers Chicken crisps, check.

Any Kettle Chips. The motherfucking daddy of all crisps.

Unbelievably, I'd forgotten Kettle Chips...

There is only one company here that manufactures salt & vinegar crisps and it's difficult to find them for sale anywhere. They don't taste quite right either.

Our local shop has started doing Golden Wonder, and Chipsticks again. First time i've seen either for years.

Yet another reason (not that one was one was needed) not to live in Norway ::)

Wheat Crunchies.

Tesco recently started stocking multipacks of chipsticks

Good shout, haven't had them in years.

Yes. Lightly Salted or Salt & Vinegar. Magical, if a little harsh on the jaw.

Salt & Vinegar Pringles are awesome. So awesome in fact that if you eat too many they burn you.

My favourite are the Red Leicester and Onion.....closely followed by Cracked pepper.

I remember the puffs that arriba is on about...had a kind of greasy oily taste.

Saying that i remember the days you only got plain....which came with an optional satchet of salt in a little blue packet inside the bag of crisps.

Smiths crisps salt and shake

Frisps,they melt in the mouth :wink:

Hmmmm.

Someone used to do a ham and mustard (brannigans?), they were nice.
Marmite crisps.
Any McCoys or kettle chips.
I think Pringles are laced with crack cocaine. They aren't my favourite, bloody moreish though.

Crisp Facts:
All crisp best before dates expire on a Saturday.
Paul Heaton (beautiful south, housemartins) is a crisp connoisseur and can tell most makes/flavours in a blind test.

Brannigans still do beef and mustard crisps which are the best crisps around.


Nando's peri peri are nice too.

Thinking about it I love a lot of crisps. Pringles and Hula Hoops also deserve a mention.

Any answer that isn't Salt and Vinegar McCoy's is the wrong answer.

The sad thing is I'm on women crisps at the moment to help with the weight loss. All this talk of man crisps is akin waving a pint under  Christian Roberts nose.

I tried them once and couldn't eat them. Disgusting

anyone else remember these?

http://www.doyouremember.co.uk/memory.php?memID=4286

Pringles are soooo bad for you.

Pop a couple into a small saucepan of boiling water, and see what comes out after a couple of minutes.

Spooky, I was thinking of those when the thread first went up.

Yup, and I also remember the news report asking someone who had eaten a real hedgehog if the taste was authentic.

Actually, It ust have been this:

Beef flavour Puffs were amazing. They were banned from Oli Tompkins school as they kept being trodden into the carpet. I would love a bag of them again.

Aside from all the usual ones, my 'blast from the past' shout goes to cheeseburger quarterbacks... amazing, and very much in your space raider style (ie. Cheap, puffed wheat)

And on that bombshell I'll raise you a packet of hula hoops for walkers potato puffs. They were something like two pennies or a tanner for a pack when I was in mount ford Manor junior school back in the 60's.

Those plain ones with a little (blue?) packet of salt.

What were the ones with dragons on the packet? Snaps I think.  Quarterbacks are a great shout. Completely forgot about them.

Smith's Salt n Shake.  Do they still make them?

Yup

http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=254926817

Yeah I have a pack once or twice a week, sainsburys and tescos do them up here.

BTW, there shouldn't there be a differentiation over Crisps and Corn Snacks (wheat crunchies, chipsticks and quavers)?

You mean the ones I named at the top of page 3?

Branigans Ham and Pickle
Burtons Fish n Chips
Jacobs Oddities (Smokey Bacon Flavour)
McCoys Limited Edition Smoked Hickory Rib
Salt and Vinegar Pringles
Doritos Sizzling Barbecue
Prawn Cocktail Wotsits
Tangy Toms

Salt and Vinegar Discos
Pickled Onion Monster Munch
Scampy Fries
And since none of the above are crisps either, I may as well mention pork scratchings.  The King of Snacks.  :I'm a complete mofleakin Deak

Prawn Cocktail flavoured Pringles. Oh my days

Tyrells or Kettle Chips for me. I like a proper crisp.

Shout out for Space Raiders (although not technically crisps)

10p from the school tuck shop, must have had approximately 42,307 packs of these when I was younger

Thai Sweet Chilli Walkers Sensations
Chilli Heatwave Doritos
Quavers

No mention of Frazzles yet?

Oh frazzles are a good choice

They are a good sandwich crisp

Frazzles were mentioned in the 1st couple of pages of this thread

Plain Crisps + Pickled Egg is a good combo

People who put crisps in a sandwich should be locked up

Very much so.

I really liked those American hamburger crisps walkers released for the World Cup. They literally tasted like each one was a hamburger, was kinda weird.

I know that sounds like a stupid statement, but crisps can sometimes fail to live up to taste expectations.

You're right. That does sound like a stupid statement :)
