Skips Crisps - they tried doing different flavours other than Prawn Cocktail... I can't remember any though... You heathen. Fishy polystyrene. I’m not even sure they’re classed as crisps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules_darby Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 6 hours ago, Escobarp said: Factory used to be in new mills If my memory serves me correctly. Dad used to bring home big bags of stuff when he delivered into them. Aye, my neck of the woods that. Mate of mine used to work there...stories of rats and jizz going in the big vats back in the day. As I’ve said on here a few times I used to play footy for New Mills and there’s some very, very odd folk up there. Got sent off in in a cup game at home once and I genuinely thought I was going to get stabbed after the game by some of the more “passionate” locals. Linking to Parma Violets in true random Youri style (as he started this thread) I saw them support the Vaccines at Ibiza Rocks about 8-9 years back. They weren’t bad. As for crisps, if anyone orders plain (ready salted) when there’s other flavours on offer, you’re basically saying you only have sex in missionary and you wear Superdry. Can’t beat an old school Seabrook for me. Used to only be able to get them from vending machines at the local swimming baths...deep flavours; maybe to get rid of the chlorine?

Site Supporter MickyD Posted January 9, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) Two things: I bought a 6-pack of Marmite crisps today. Those choc-filled biscuits you were so fond of now come in a yellow pack. A fantastic biccy, even better straight from the fridge. https://www.ocado.com/products/bahlsen-pick-up-milk-chocolate-biscuit-bars-229416011 Edited January 9, 2021 by MickyD Fucked up the original post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Primary school tuck shop was Smax I think, you bit one in half horizontally and then put a full one in between and made a burger. Think they were Burtons. And Potato Puffs which regardless of flavour were the greatest of all time. Think they're wank now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a very crispy Wotsit I'm all maized/corned out - I was hoping for some Turkey and Stuffing Potato crisps, not Walkers though. I'm sure Walkers are made of mushed and pressed potatoes - not not sliced ones, they're too uniform. But I have no proof to drag them from their seedy Leicester plant and expose them to the light of justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Am I reading it right that you claim warbies made excellent crisps but fish n chips were biscuits because they were made by burtons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Skips are too insubstantial. @MickyD Those Bahlsen things look promising but the ones from the 80s were round and massive in diameter - easy as wide across as a Wagon Wheel. @ErnestTurnip Fish 'n' Chips are savoury biscuits because they just are. My logic doesn't mean Warbies Crisps were actually bread. Burton's made Puffs which are crisps. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 @jules_darby I don't think I've ever met anyone who worked at a food plant who didn't come out with the old 'rats/piss/shit/jizz/cockroaches etc. in the vats' line... Greenhalghs, Park Cakes, Carrs, Hampsons, Warbies, Stateside et al. The best bullshit tale I heard in a pub (Cattle Market) was concerning Hampsons - which everyone knows has a plant backing onto Coe Street's Prozzy Alley... Apparently a large portion of the nightshift lads all chipped in to bring a lady of the night into the staffroom and proceeded to make her airtight for a few hours. They all neglected to wear rubber johnnies tho'... Six months later half the same nightshift are H.I.V.+ Dunno if they started wanking in the Hot Cross Bun mix as some kind of misanthropic 'revenge' mission though.

I dont care if Walkers claim to be first with the colour coding of packets. Real colour ID for the big 3 S&V - Sky Blue. C&O - Green. Ready Salted - Dark Blue. I am, and always will be a Golden Wonder man. But less about my kinky bedroom habits. this but i assume ready salted were always supposed to be red, think Smiths is the OG color deciderer , but can let Golden Wonder off fucking walkers dont even use the green = salt vinegar , blue = cheese onion for their other brands , i think theyre being dicks at this point. i dont buy em cos i carnt tell what the fuck is going on and get golden wonder or whatever ( smiths are coloured correctly too, i think).

You could chew some up (tubes) then use an intact tube as a peashooter and spray a window or a pal's face with the masticated crisps.
