Crisps from the past

[robinbloke]

I'm eating some Frazzles, and by jingo they're as jummy as ever; reminds me of all the other old crisps from Smiths
Snaps (with the little dragon on the front) like sort of crunchier quavers
Chipsticks - erm, sticky crispy things
Squares - with the little bag of salt

ah, memories...

We want to be Smith's Crisps
We want to be - Smith's Crisps

They're the only crisps that we want to be.

So we'll change this sign while the farmer has his tea!

Your memory for obscure nostalgia continues to amaze me

I also remember something about Lenny Henry advertising squares by ski-ing happily uphill, and then trudging all the way downhill.

Two things...

1. Walker's now make Squares and they're identical! Wooooo!
2. It wasn't Squares that came with the blue bag of salt. That was the straightforward crisps...

1. Yahoo!
2. Aha, couldn't remember them exactly, just remember that they came with a bag of salt, which I usually ended up adding more to anyway

Now if they only made old size (big) monster munch again...

Did you hear the myth that pickled onion flavour caused cancer? It was always going round school

The crisps-requiring-salt were totally kick-ass, almost as much as Squares, of which I am a devoted fan.

Mmm. squares.... I like the salt and vinager ones which I hadn't seen for years and then suddenly started turning up again. Yummy
