A Golden Age of Crisps?

[Lea]

I love crisps. When I was younger I don't think Walkers was available as a brand. It was Golden Wonder which seemed to disappear for awhile and have re-appeared on supermarket shelves again. Golden Wonder FTW. They are much more tastier than Walkers which I find rather bland.

I quite like fake crisps (corn snacks) as well. Monster Munch pickled onion flavour. Yum!

Sadly I am on a diet so have to restrict my consumption of crisps otherwise I could eat them all day long.

golden wonder went bust a few years ago, and got bought by by walkers.

On a similar note, Percy Pigs contain actual pig and so are not suitable for vegetarians!

I remember posting about this once !! one of the ingredients is pork gellatine!!

i went to a delicatessen expo at the NEC a few weeks ago (was there for a less interesting expo and thought we'd crash this for lunch) and someone was hawking these air-dried apple crisps. they were fucking lush.

Blimey, I thought that was 50p a crisp at first.

They existed, a google says they were launched in 1999 for the millennium (friends reunited shows up in the search results) They had sparkley wrappers but I don't remember how close to champagne they were as I wasn't much of a champagne drinker back then.

they were hardly reminiscent of veueve clicquot, put it that way.

Didn't want to start a new crisp thread, so I thought I ask this question here. Everybody's an ancient fucker on Urban so one of you must have tried these chocolate flavoured crisps back in the day. Were they as vile as they sound?

Not sure but loved their Gammon ones in the 70s

I wish I had had those - they look fantastic! And Tudor crisps were great.

Also, I once dipped salt and vinegar crisps in melted chocolate and allowed them to set, and they were the best thing ever.

Got too many bags of crisps in - a twenty pack of square crisps, and two half dozen packs of hula hoops.

Keep buying multi packs but no-one in the house is stupid enough to want cheese and onion so we have twenty odd bags now.

Bumping this thread because I was so sad about Brannigans Ham and Mustard going discontinued and then I went to a pub recently and they had these and they were fucking ace and just as good as I remember:

I have always found crisps dull, but were there really chocolate-flavoured crisps?

Yes. Irn Bru-flavoured, too.

 

[Silas Loom]

I’m coming round to the mixed beetroot and parsnip and unidentifiable vegetable crisps which have to be served in a packet because otherwise they will be mistaken for pot pourri.

 

[ouirdeaux]

Chocolate-flavoured crisps would work. What happened to them?
