Sweep Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I'll tell you what the shittest crisps were. Salt 'n' Shake. Bang on, they're utter shit. They still sell them as well, which surprises me somewhat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent_white Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Bang on, they're utter shit. They still sell them as well, which surprises me somewhat Really? I have literally never heard anybody say 'ooh get us a nice bag of Salt 'n' Shake'. Â I'll tell you what else are good. Chipsticks and Worcester Sauce French Fries!

kaydan Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Think I said last time this was mentioned on here. Onion 'n' Vinegar Wheelz. Usued to be in the Happy Shopper corner shop. They were the business! Proper strong they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the business! Proper strong they were. According to the Guinness Book of Records - the strongest commercially available crisp is the KP pickled onion flavoured Meanie. Â A weeks worth of recommended salt intake per bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DazBob Posted October 5, 2015 Members Share Posted October 5, 2015 Bang on, they're utter shit. They still sell them as well, which surprises me somewhat I'm pretty sure, as a kid, we used to get some cheapo crisps which went one further where you had different flovor sachets. I guess a kind of "flavour n shake". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Salt n Shake crisps are ace, always have them when I visit home. Â The best crisps are those you get on holiday, are they called Crusti Crocs? Those in Paprika flavour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I love a Scutter crisps but have a favourite luxury type. Piper Chorizo crisps for sale in Booths. Youri's head will probably fall off if I say how much they cost. Knowing Booths, as I do (don't laugh), I'd reckon' they're probably about £2.89-£3.79 for a bag around 90grams or so...Eeh, all that's missing is Leslie Crowther. Retailers have twigged that folk staying in will spend more on luxury stuff - beer, crisps, pizzas etc. because they're still 'saving' money staying in than going out. Anyhow, regarding food, some stuff costs what it costs and I have to live with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbo Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Went through a phase in the snooker club of having crisp that had a garlic dip in them. Can't remember the name. Â Also enjoy a bag of prawn crackers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cureforsanity Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Smokey bacon crisps......always remind me of Mayfield street baths on a Saturday morning. Â Another 'horror bag' in the scary snack triangle were 'bats', I think these were tomato flavoured? Went with 'bones' and 'fangs'. Â My all time favourite are seabrooks salt & vinegar which used to mop up a (proper) pint of Boddingtons before they got bought out and fucked up very nicely. Canadian ham are also a good pub choice but can't be eaten prior to 10 pm. It's the law. Â About 17 years ago a mate of mine had a massive bag of popcorn called 'sundog'. I assumed she was a weirdo for 2 reasons: firstly she was hanging about with me and secondly, these popcorn were cheese flavour. Â Aye, cheese. Dirty fucker, or so I thought until I tasted one. After I'd pinched the full packet off her I thought about buying my own but sadly never did and can't find any, or any evidence of their existence. Â Did anyone else ever have sundog cheesy popcorn or did I dream it all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bolty58 Posted October 7, 2015 Members Share Posted October 7, 2015 Nearly as crackers as mars selling pedigree chum. Â Â Just FYI, Mars is one of the worlds biggest privately owned companies and manufactures all sorts of pet foods around the world. Â They have a massive factory in Bathurst, NSW which produces all sorts of dog biscuits plus various meat products (not sure you have Schmacko's up there?). This factory has a railway siding and they load up trains and ship 80% of what they produce straight to Sydney Harbour for export into SE Asia. Been there a few times and the entire factory is as pristine as a pre-op operating theatre. Besides being proud of the way my extruder gearboxes were performing, my other abiding memory is of the machine operators for producing various dog biscuits actually tasting the pre-baked mush to check if there is enough tallow in there or if they have to alter the mix slightly. Uuurrrgh! Often wondered if they find themselves chasing cars in their leisure time. Â They also produce the Uncle Bens lines down here and have another big fuck off factory on the NSW/Victoria border producing mostly meat products for pets.

Used to work for Mars  There are people employed full time in quality control testing all the pet food  Rumour has it that the chicken Mars bought for pet food was a better grade than Macdonalds bought for its chicken nuggets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
