Brannigans no more is an absolute tragedy. Roast Beef and Mustard has to be the greatest crisp in the history of the Universe, what on Earth were KP thinking about when they stopped making them.
@@zolfodor4835 Brannigans were the best of the 90s. Their arrival coincided with some new mega-pubs in Newcastle, along with Sahara nuts. Couldn't beat a decent pint and a bag or 2 of Beef'n'Mustard.
@ianhampton god i was OBSESSED with their hickory smoked nuts......sitting in the Waggon & Horses in Halesowen, supping a pint of scrumpy, with a bag of those and a pork pie....ahhh those were the days
Bag Colours Red : Ready Salted Green : Cheese & onion (don't care what walkers say) Blue: Salt & Vinegar (don't care what walkers say) Dark Red: Smoky Bacon Pink: Prawn Cocktail Orange(ish) : Chicken Brown : BBQ
That may have been true for the big mainstream brands but I loved the ones who just didn't their own thing. Like the black or blue for those horror bags. I remember the Real Ghosbusters had black bags too. It made it more of a novelty, not knowing what the bag contained.
Kids these days marvel at the plethora of technology at their disposal. As a kid, I’d be super excited at seeing a little blue packet of salt in a bag of crisps. 😂 Another nostalgic upload Sir and I love them. 👍
Smiths Salt n Shake crisps in the 70's... Where I grew up, it was "the law" that they could ONLY be opened in front of a friend(s). Why? Independent proof was needed to prove that you'd got more than one wee blue bag in your packet. I once had 17 in mine. We were amazed, and I was a "celebrity" for about a week or so!
@@liammalarky3483 your not "The Liam malarkey" ? Your name was whispered around playgrounds and school yards up and down the country when I was a lad, it's a real pleasure to finally meet you. I can't wait to tell the wife I've just messaged the legendary Liam 17 Salts Malaky she will be impressed.
I sent off for the horror bags mask in 75,i waited for weeks and age 59 I still remember the disappointment I felt at a piece of printed paper and the ripping of it when I tried to put it on! and the tears in my mums eyes she tried to hide!
I remember Tudor crisps with great fondness. And I remember the “wear em, scare em” bags whereby you could collect scary badges. In 1973 I had the choice of spending my 2 pence on the bus fare to get home for lunch ,or 2 pence on a packet of tudor crisps and simply run home. Happy memories !
I remember the potato puffs as when me and my late young brother were growing up we would buy them for our bus to our nan's. Even taken a few packets for her. They are really missed.
I was working in a house a few months back, and went under the floorboards, and found a empty bag of piglets . It brought back memories of buying them at the corner shop in the early 80s .
It's brilliant videos like this that make me glad You Tube exists. Take a bow creator! This trip down memory lane has put a real smile on my face. Love it sir!
Agreed. I also miss the early days of YT 2006-2008. They were golden years. You could reply to a video by actually uploading a video as I recall. Some great quirky content as well.
Plain ready salted Potato Puffs were my favourite ,back in the 1960s... 3d a pack from the school tuck shop. I had a hankering for some the other day, shame they're not made any more.
Yum yum the best crisps ever ..I would smash them all into crumbs and pour them down my throat 😂 then open my umpteenth bag to do it all again .. depending on how much pocket money I had left , of course ...😂😊
walkers cheese and onion were the best in the mid 90's, but they did something with the recipe, i think to make less fatty and they haven't been the same since so rarely have them
Walkers used to be good but recently they've become quite horrible. Whether they've had a temporary production problem or it's due to a change in how they're made I don't know, but I've stopped buying them in favour of Lidl's Snaptastic crisps.
@@cdeford agree, and it's not a temporary problem, they have been awful for years, I think they tried to make a 'healthier' crisp at the cost of taste, probably with increased profit thrown in somewhere lol. My missus got some pringle equivalent crisps from Aldi for us to try recently, and they taste much better IMHO, and we have been coming round to 'own brand' products more and more since the food prices shot up with surprisingly good results. GL
My Uncle and his father started and owned XL Crisps based in Conisborough, Yorkshire. My father designed and built the automated factory for him. I used to love XL Crisps still warm from the conveyers .... memories of childhood.
@@darreng745 How fantastic, so glad you liked them ..... mind you the cheese and onion were divine normally but warm from the conveyers they were out of this world .... I've never found another crisp that came close, whether warm or cold ...... I really miss those crisps 👍😋
Burtons puffs. Wow ❤ Used to have a packet everyday with my milk in class 1 & 2 Micklefield c of e school back in the day. We had to buy them and I still remember the cost today. 7 1/2 p a bag. 1979. Where has time gone
I used to get chipmunks at my primary school tuck shop inThe 60s. To be honest I thought I may have dreamed them up as no one else seemed to remember them. So glad this channel was able to reaffirm my sanity 😅
My high school tuck shop sold chipmunk crisps in the late 60s/early70s. They were delicious! I also haven't come across anybody who has heard of the brand.
I seem to remember in the late 70,s , early 80,s crisps called Twickers i think. The advert had a medieval theme with a court jester prancing round and the crisps were a grid shape. Anyone else remember them.
As a Salt & Vinegar aficionado, I was a fan of the Bones Horror Bags. I also liked S&V Discos and Squares. S&V were always in blue bags too, not this green bag rubbish that Walkers foisted on us. These day's I'm firmly in the McCoys camp for crisps, although I do still love a ham and cheesy Wotsit sandwich from time to time. Update: I've just remember a lovely Sausage & Tomato flavour that I was hooked on at one point. Pretty sure they were Golden Wonder.
I loved Burton Potato Puffs ❤ I used to buy a bag from the tuck shop at primary school in the 60's. Wish they were still around, the beef ones were my favourite.
Good grief! Until about two minutes ago I had totally forgotten about Horror Bags! We used to love them and collect the bags! Probably haven't seen any for almost 50 years. Incredible! Now I want some!
As a Primary School tuck shop attendant - payment in kind was always a bag of Golden Wonder Roast Chicken flavoured crisps, I can still taste the additives, but scrumptious.
Great video... I used to love the original outer spacers when I was a kid. Shame they stopped making horror bags. A real tasty trip down memory lane this 😊
Rock ‘n ‘ Rollers S&V flavour!!! Also Burtons Snax... s&v,r.s,beef,chicken used buy them from a little shop opposite my school called Abbey Rd junior in Bearwood🤘and yes we had a zebra crossing out front 😊
I used to love old school Golden Wonder salt and vinegar. They really aren’t as “harsh” tasting now. And the only truly decent Worcester sauce flavour crisps were by KP, especially if you got an overdusted one!
I remember crisps being a huge once a week treat for us as kids in the 70's, never recall multipacks being around then? Loved them bones and Monster Munch Beef when first out were the best. Also loved, fish and chips which have been revived and Wheelz, which were only sold in Kwik Save. Never heard of Walkers till at least the late 80's? Must of been a regional thing.
Fish and chips are absolutely cr4p nowadays. I got some for nostalgia purposes and I was so disappointed. As kids in the 80’s we’d go to our local baths and always get a bag and some of that horrible sweet vending machine cola that came in a brown plastic cup.
Good N Crunchy. We were shopping one day on Princess Street in Edinburgh, when we got approached and asked if we wanted to sample an upcoming brand new crisp. Most exciting. Got taken to an old church they were using, had to test some crisps, and fill in a bunch of forms. We really enjoyed them. I seem to remember it took about a year after that for them to be in the shops, but they tasted the same. Really liked those. Especially Salt N Vinegar ones.
I loved potato puffs they were pretty much a favourite of my family's when I was growing up in the 80s and early 90s. I was shocked to find out they were still around until 2009.
Loooved the Tudor crisps in the 1980's as a kid Pickled Onion flavour was my favourite Football Crazy crisps were nice as well Smith's Salt N Shake crisps were my Late Mum's favourite loved the Tubes crisps loved the Piglets now long gone a great trip down crisp memory lane😍😍😍😍
WHAT A Brilliant video, my parents and grandparents ran grocers shops and off licences in the 1970s and up until the late 1980s......i remember ALL OF THEM, Especially CHIPMUNK and ROCK AND ROLLERS.....The Smiths HORROR BAGS Were a master stroke.....an instant success....so they kept adding new ones on every year...i can tell you from my memory though, that when MONSTER MUNCH came out about 1977 /78, we were suddenly Not selling as many Horror Bags......strange......but true..
Thank you for the history of crisps. I remember a lot of them from the 70s and 80s. You may have a point about Crispy Tubes being Square Crisps that had been rolled up!
Back in the 80s, when KP traded Worcester Sauce flavour thy were truly amazing. When they sadly changed hands they have totally lost that that unique distinct flavour and were NEVER the same again. Also, with growing up in the North East, all I can ever remember eating was TUDOR crisps, they were the best crisps ever 😋 even better than Walkers. Dave
Thank you for the upload, it brought back memories of my childhood in the 70s and 80s and wow Potato Puffs, what I would do to taste them once again ...
My favourites were, BONES, POTATO PUFFS, BOVRIL CRISPS and TUBES. I also loved the different flavours like sausage and tomato, beef and onion, gammon , spring onions. There isn't enough variety and the flavours are not the same.
i was born in Carlisle in 71, Tudor crisps were all we knew! I don’t remember H and M but i do remember pickled onion which were awesome and my personal fave Gammon flavour….I’m actually drooling like Homer as i type this 😂😂😂😂✌🏻❤🇬🇧
Chipmonk ready salted was my favorite back in the day, also Tudor pickled onion flavour. The Tudor advert shown in your video was shot on a hot summers day in Gateshead, Bensham, the newsagents in the advert was called Sobers, the back lane scene was a lane just off Kelvin Grove. The local fire brigade hosed the street down to make it look like it had just rained. How do I know, well I was part of a hand full of kids that watched the filming of the advert, they gave us free crisps to keep us quiet during filming, it was the highlight of our summer. The end of the advert was at the Dunston Rocket flats. The Rocket, and the streets surrounding the newsagents are no longer standing. Thanks for making this video and bringing back so so many happy memories.
I have always loved all crisps for my entire life and I still eat probably too many. I loved Monster Munch since the 1970s when I was a kid (got the t-shirt after sending off three crisp packets), and I love all the others - my current favourite is Flamin' Hot Wotsits (so deliciously moreish) but not many supermarkets sell them. I usually get them on a shopping order. Thank you God, and the Manufacturers, for inventing crisps; always loved them, always will. 🤗❤ xxxx
In the 1970s I remember a bacon flavoured snack called Rancheros ... I think they are pictures of cowboys on front of the the packet this would of been around 1976-77... does anybody else remember theses cheers jay
As a child, during the late 70s and early 80s, my mum worked as a boating pool attendant at the Strand Leisure Park in Gillingham Kent for 6 summers. At the Strand Cafe, they used to sell Chipmonk Crisps for 10 pence a packet. I remember this because my mum flatly refused to spend 10 whole pence on a bag of crisps at the Cafe, when on the way home, we passed a shop, gone now, like the boating pool, where she could get a packet of Golen Wonder for 7p instead! If memory serves, I think the Chipmonk crisps might have been a little bigger, than the standard size of Golden Wonder bags.
Ho my days the crisps gone by my favourite ones was plain chip sticks and the salt and vinegar ones and other brands of snacks as well I only wish all this would come back in now great to watch this adverts when I was very young when I was born in 1958 😅
Phileas Fogg used to do Tortilla chips in the late 80's / early 90's. There was a cream coloured packet for normal flavour, and a black coloured packet for a spicy flavour. I remember the spicy one being borderline unbearable, and I can eat a lot of spicy food!
@@superjosh3864 They were kind of a sister company to where I worked in the 80s and 90s, we'd forever be getting pre-production bags and were one of the early testers of the spicy chips before they were released. Splendid stuff.
So glad I found your channel as I was born in 65 and loved my childhood during the 70’s, I remember virtually all of these crisps. Great uploads and you’ve definitely gained a new subscriber 👍
Great video I can remember many of those brands and products. Loved golden wonder still think they were my favourites. Now a flavour I wish you could still get was Bovril..
Tubes and Squares! I'd forgotten all about them. I used to always get Tubes for my lunch box as Mum would not let me have monster much due to how big the bag used to be! And at 10p I would always try and sneak in a bag of space raiders, though only one newsagents in town stocked them.
For me, nothing will ever compare to the taste of Tudor Crisps. They were so greasy but it added to their flavours (Pickled Onion being my favourite). Happy memories all round.😀
Being a Newcastle lad, I grew up with Tudor crisps and their bonkers flavours, but I was an absolute little monster for Football Crazys. Bacon greatness and never equalled.
Burtons XL Crisps were delicious. One Smiths flavour I loved was Savoury Vinegar flavour. So delicious. I remember Golden Wonder bringing out a Cheese and Pickled Onion Flavour. Also remember KP Crisps.
Absolutely loved Potato Puffs ! They were cheap too so pocket money friendly. I remember Tudor crisps as having a LOT of flavour. Really strong. I'd forgotten about Bones - used to eat a lot of them.
Griddles spring to mind. "Crisp potato Griddles with the holes on the middle". Rancheros were a favourite. We used to buy Horror Bags Salt and Vinegar Bones from the vending machine at the swimming baths back in the 1970's after lessons. Not crisps, but you could also buy Coca Cola from the a vending machine there too, it was the best ever. It wasn't in bottles or cans, but in those white plastic cups. It was absolutely the best as it always delivered more syrup than a can had in it making it extra sweet. Happy days.
Am I trippin'; I swear they used to sell Hedgehog crisps in health shops as they were seen as 'healthy' options to standard crisps.... Some kind of organic kick?
Hedgehog crisps, that takes me back. I was at junior school and remember everyone talking about them. Funny how something sticks in your mind. After a bit of pestering, my mum bought me a bag and I was a bit disappointed as they were a bit beefy.
Had an uncle who worked at Rileys right through to it becoming Golden Wonder, and used to fetch us sack fulls of various crisps. I really liked their Nik Naks and Bacon Wheat Crunchies and the long forgotten Salt and Vinegar Seashells. When i was at Primary school i bloody loved those Piglets!!
OMG! Chipmunk OXO crisps! The BEST crisp to ever exist. I remember having them at the local swimming pool cafe after a dip in the pool. This was about the only place to stock them but they were amazing! They knock Walkers straight out of the ball park. R.I.P. Chipmunk. The most excellent crisps EVER!
Burtons' potato puffs were epic. just tiny bags, one packet was never enough and they were always smashed to bits. I don't recall ever seeing a fully intact "puff"
I stopped eating crisps a couple of years ago but do still eat the off wotsit though. Love your videos, so many US YT'ers BUT you do proper UK stuff, stuff I remember and grew up with, so a massive Thank you Stu.
Fondly remember eating the Jaws spicy tomato crisps in the mid 80s. Phileas Fogg tortilla chips, Noughts & crosses. Also Braninghams I think they were called. Frazzles I can go on. Happy childhood memories 💖
I have actually personally seen Nik Naks being made at the Golden Wonder factory in Scunthorpe. It was one of the most distressing things I have ever witnessed.
Sainsburys used to do an own-brand Scampi Fries but, rather than in the piddly little packets the original Scampi Fries came in, were provided in a big bag. I bloody loved those things.
As a Brit living in Germany, crisps is the one thing I miss the most. The crisp selection here is so dire. My mum used to send me boxes of crisps but it's got too expensive now 😭
I loved piglets, and monster bags and skydivers... I😊 remember the flavours seeming incredibly strong at the time, but it was probably my developing taste buds. Thanks for the memories!! 😊
Think there were a couple called Space Raiders and something like Griddles, both beef flavoured. Ate loads of them at school back in the early eighties. Forgotten about Piglets! Discos was a popular one. They brought them back in the nineties but weren't quite the same.
I remember back in the late 80s early 90s you could get green chili popadoms in a bag from certain pubs, they were fantastic, no idea who they were made by but they went down well with a pint!
Burton's Potato Puffs were like little brittle pillow cases, not those wheaty things you showed. No one's ever been able to recreate that particular flavour since Burtons went away.
Yeah that's what I thought, I used to get them as a kid in the 90's and crush the bag up so it was basically crispy dust :) What he showed looked more like a wotsits type crisp.
Wow I have been trying to remember what they were called but thanks , they were my absolute favourites ,especially barbecue flavour . Also late sixties M&S roast chicken , thee best ever .
Brannigans no more is an absolute tragedy. Roast Beef and Mustard has to be the greatest crisp in the history of the Universe, what on Earth were KP thinking about when they stopped making them.

Loooved the Tudor crisps in the 1980's as a kid Pickled Onion flavour was my favourite Football Crazy crisps were nice as well Smith's Salt N Shake crisps were my Late Mum's favourite loved the Tubes crisps loved the Piglets now long gone a great trip down crisp memory lane😍😍😍😍
WHAT A Brilliant video, my parents and grandparents ran grocers shops and off licences in the 1970s and up until the late 1980s......i remember ALL OF THEM, Especially CHIPMUNK and ROCK AND ROLLERS.....The Smiths HORROR BAGS Were a master stroke.....an instant success....so they kept adding new ones on every year...i can tell you from my memory though, that when MONSTER MUNCH came out about 1977 /78, we were suddenly Not selling as many Horror Bags......strange......but true..
Thank you for the history of crisps. I remember a lot of them from the 70s and 80s. You may have a point about Crispy Tubes being Square Crisps that had been rolled up!
Back in the 80s, when KP traded Worcester Sauce flavour thy were truly amazing. When they sadly changed hands they have totally lost that that unique distinct flavour and were NEVER the same again. Also, with growing up in the North East, all I can ever remember eating was TUDOR crisps, they were the best crisps ever 😋 even better than Walkers. Dave
Thank you for the upload, it brought back memories of my childhood in the 70s and 80s and wow Potato Puffs, what I would do to taste them once again ...
Enjoyed the old crisps.....Thankyou for taking me back❤
My favourites were, BONES, POTATO PUFFS, BOVRIL CRISPS and TUBES. I also loved the different flavours like sausage and tomato, beef and onion, gammon , spring onions. There isn't enough variety and the flavours are not the same.
Bovril and gammon crisps were my favourite
Yes!!! Bovril flavour.!!!
'Fish 'n' chips, same flavour as chipstix but mini shaped biscuits, loved em!
I also remember eating Ringos, bought from the school tuck shop. Cheese and Onion or Salt and Vinegar flavours
I loved Tudor crisps , they made the best pickled onion. Anybody else remember hotdog and mustard flavour ?
i was born in Carlisle in 71, Tudor crisps were all we knew! I don’t remember H and M but i do remember pickled onion which were awesome and my personal fave Gammon flavour….I’m actually drooling like Homer as i type this 😂😂😂😂✌🏻❤🇬🇧
Pickled Oinion, were a favourite along with roast lamb and mint sauce and Tomato Sauce, Tudor were light years ahead in flavours.
A canny bag of Tudor
@@connorfrey8597 aye
Chipmonk ready salted was my favorite back in the day, also Tudor pickled onion flavour. The Tudor advert shown in your video was shot on a hot summers day in Gateshead, Bensham, the newsagents in the advert was called Sobers, the back lane scene was a lane just off Kelvin Grove. The local fire brigade hosed the street down to make it look like it had just rained. How do I know, well I was part of a hand full of kids that watched the filming of the advert, they gave us free crisps to keep us quiet during filming, it was the highlight of our summer. The end of the advert was at the Dunston Rocket flats. The Rocket, and the streets surrounding the newsagents are no longer standing. Thanks for making this video and bringing back so so many happy memories.
Fantastic memories!
Cool story mate. 👍👍
@@zolfodor4835 thank you, way back then the most popular crisp in the north east was Tudor pickled onion, I really miss those crisps
@MrMagpie38 Aye I remember those mate,they were mega strong,I,m from the north east aswell,so I remember the advert aswell 👌👌👍👍
I’m so old I remember when bags of crisps contained crisps and not fresh air.
I have always loved all crisps for my entire life and I still eat probably too many. I loved Monster Munch since the 1970s when I was a kid (got the t-shirt after sending off three crisp packets), and I love all the others - my current favourite is Flamin' Hot Wotsits (so deliciously moreish) but not many supermarkets sell them. I usually get them on a shopping order. Thank you God, and the Manufacturers, for inventing crisps; always loved them, always will. 🤗❤ xxxx
I loved them piglets and potato puffs I remember buying them from my school tuckshop in the 1970's.
Hilarious the Horror Bag advert starred both Captain Peacock and Mr Rumbold from Are You Being Served
A canny bag of Tudor! Brilliant! I was a big fan of the Hedghog flavoured crisps too. I vaguely remember the Oxo Chipmunks too.
In the 1970s I remember a bacon flavoured snack called Rancheros ... I think they are pictures of cowboys on front of the the packet this would of been around 1976-77... does anybody else remember theses cheers jay
I loved piglets! I also had cheese flavoured snaps and quarterbacks from the tuck shop!
As a child, during the late 70s and early 80s, my mum worked as a boating pool attendant at the Strand Leisure Park in Gillingham Kent for 6 summers.
At the Strand Cafe, they used to sell Chipmonk Crisps for 10 pence a packet. I remember this because my mum flatly refused to spend 10 whole pence on a bag of crisps at the Cafe, when on the way home, we passed a shop, gone now, like the boating pool, where she could get a packet of Golen Wonder for 7p instead!
If memory serves, I think the Chipmonk crisps might have been a little bigger, than the standard size of Golden Wonder bags.
Ho my days the crisps gone by my favourite ones was plain chip sticks and the salt and vinegar ones and other brands of snacks as well I only wish all this would come back in now great to watch this adverts when I was very young when I was born in 1958 😅
Phileas Fogg used to do Tortilla chips in the late 80's / early 90's. There was a cream coloured packet for normal flavour, and a black coloured packet for a spicy flavour. I remember the spicy one being borderline unbearable, and I can eat a lot of spicy food!
Those were class. Only seem to remember them being a one-a-year treat at service stations for some reason.
They where excellent:)
They also did garlic croutons, if I remember correctly? Quite delicious!
Anyone remeber the tag line: Phileas Fogg made in medomsley road, consett
@@superjosh3864 They were kind of a sister company to where I worked in the 80s and 90s, we'd forever be getting pre-production bags and were one of the early testers of the spicy chips before they were released. Splendid stuff.
So glad I found your channel as I was born in 65 and loved my childhood during the 70’s, I remember virtually all of these crisps. Great uploads and you’ve definitely gained a new subscriber 👍
That's great to hear! Many thanks!
I used to LOVE Tudor Crisps in the 1980's Spring onion was my favourite ! seeing them brought back the actual taste in my mouth 40 years on !...FAB
We always had the early 80s Sainsbury’s Brand crisps, when cheese and onion packets were green and salt and vinegar were blue!
Loved the bacon flavoured claws! What a lovely trip down memory lane.
I for some reason remembered 'Bitz-a-Pizza' earlier on today.
Great video I can remember many of those brands and products.
Loved golden wonder still think they were my favourites.
Now a flavour I wish you could still get was Bovril..
82 kid here & my school jumper was always covered in Puffs.
KP Rancheros were a highlight in my crisp journey.
Rancheros are still made in ireland, epic bacon flavor
I still remember when they made a big fuss avout the first ever foil crisp packet, to help keep the flavour fresh.
I remember collecting the butterflies given away by Tudors, had the whole set. Still a crisp addict.
I totally forgot about that, thanks for the nostalgia !
@@Peonshoes you're welcome. Glad I'm not the only crisp nutter!
😋
Brought back lots of memories !
Tubes and Squares! I'd forgotten all about them. I used to always get Tubes for my lunch box as Mum would not let me have monster much due to how big the bag used to be! And at 10p I would always try and sneak in a bag of space raiders, though only one newsagents in town stocked them.
For me, nothing will ever compare to the taste of Tudor Crisps. They were so greasy but it added to their flavours (Pickled Onion being my favourite). Happy memories all round.😀
Being a Newcastle lad, I grew up with Tudor crisps and their bonkers flavours, but I was an absolute little monster for Football Crazys. Bacon greatness and never equalled.
Burtons XL Crisps were delicious. One Smiths flavour I loved was Savoury Vinegar flavour. So delicious. I remember Golden Wonder bringing out a Cheese and Pickled Onion Flavour. Also remember KP Crisps.
Really enjoyed the video. Informative and interesting as well as making me a sixty one year old devotee of crisps misty eyed. Loved horror bags.
Glad you enjoyed it! Many thanks.
Im salivating watching this right now. I miss potato puffs. Used to crush them into powder then drink them out the bag.
Absolutely loved Potato Puffs ! They were cheap too so pocket money friendly. I remember Tudor crisps as having a LOT of flavour. Really strong. I'd forgotten about Bones - used to eat a lot of them.
Griddles spring to mind. "Crisp potato Griddles with the holes on the middle". Rancheros were a favourite. We used to buy Horror Bags Salt and Vinegar Bones from the vending machine at the swimming baths back in the 1970's after lessons. Not crisps, but you could also buy Coca Cola from the a vending machine there too, it was the best ever. It wasn't in bottles or cans, but in those white plastic cups. It was absolutely the best as it always delivered more syrup than a can had in it making it extra sweet. Happy days.
Brannigans smoked ham and pickle and roast beef and mustard I miss so much.😞
And thank you, Stu, for these wonderful, nostalgic uploads.
So glad you are enjoying them! Many thanks.
absolutely loved hedgehog flavoured crisps, bring them back please
same here
Am I trippin'; I swear they used to sell Hedgehog crisps in health shops as they were seen as 'healthy' options to standard crisps.... Some kind of organic kick?
Hedgehog crisps, that takes me back. I was at junior school and remember everyone talking about them. Funny how something sticks in your mind.
After a bit of pestering, my mum bought me a bag and I was a bit disappointed as they were a bit beefy.
Had an uncle who worked at Rileys right through to it becoming Golden Wonder, and used to fetch us sack fulls of various crisps. I really liked their Nik Naks and Bacon Wheat Crunchies and the long forgotten Salt and Vinegar Seashells. When i was at Primary school i bloody loved those Piglets!!
Tubes! Completely forgotten about them but the moment I saw them I could remember the the taste and texture of them in my mouth!
OMG! Chipmunk OXO crisps! The BEST crisp to ever exist. I remember having them at the local swimming pool cafe after a dip in the pool. This was about the only place to stock them but they were amazing! They knock Walkers straight out of the ball park. R.I.P. Chipmunk. The most excellent crisps EVER!
Wow I used to love them
i swear someone used to do Bovril ones... they were fab too
Burtons' potato puffs were epic. just tiny bags, one packet was never enough and they were always smashed to bits. I don't recall ever seeing a fully intact "puff"
I haven't eaten crisps for about 20 years but when I was young it was Pickled Onion Monstet Munch for me
What 20 years 😂😂😂😂😂
@bagelking6364 yes 20 years if not more I only est "clean" food
I used to love American football cheesburger corn snacks.
I miss Brannigans :(
I stopped eating crisps a couple of years ago but do still eat the off wotsit though.
Love your videos, so many US YT'ers BUT you do proper UK stuff, stuff I remember and grew up with, so a massive Thank you Stu.
You shouldn’t eat ‘the off wotsit’, or indeed ANY food that’s ‘off’! 🤢🤮
@@AtheistOrphan Lol bl00dy phones, I blame them..... yes ment to be the odd wotsit but i guess an off wotsit tastes the same 🤣
Fondly remember eating the Jaws spicy tomato crisps in the mid 80s. Phileas Fogg tortilla chips, Noughts & crosses. Also Braninghams I think they were called. Frazzles I can go on. Happy childhood memories 💖
I have actually personally seen Nik Naks being made at the Golden Wonder factory in Scunthorpe. It was one of the most distressing things I have ever witnessed.
Where have lemon and scampi flavour gone ? I can’t find them anywhere now.
This made me laugh. So sorry. You sound genuinely traumatised.
@@Dan23_7 objectively the best flavour
@Dan23_7 they are still about, I get them from the One Stop in my village.
@@Dan23_7 scampy and lemon moments, im not sure if its classed as a crisp but divine all the same, comes in a little green and yellowish pack
Sainsburys used to do an own-brand Scampi Fries but, rather than in the piddly little packets the original Scampi Fries came in, were provided in a big bag. I bloody loved those things.
i remember the Tudor crisps very well.
Aw man, Piglets! I remember them so well, my Gran used to get them for when I visited on a Sunday! Amazing!
As a Brit living in Germany, crisps is the one thing I miss the most. The crisp selection here is so dire. My mum used to send me boxes of crisps but it's got too expensive now 😭
Probably all paprika flavoured, if memory serves me
I loved piglets, and monster bags and skydivers... I😊 remember the flavours seeming incredibly strong at the time, but it was probably my developing taste buds. Thanks for the memories!! 😊
Think there were a couple called Space Raiders and something like Griddles, both beef flavoured. Ate loads of them at school back in the early eighties. Forgotten about Piglets! Discos was a popular one. They brought them back in the nineties but weren't quite the same.
Griddles looked a bit like a shreddie, beef flavour. Came out about 81/82
You can still get Discos.
@@jaysmith2858 Discos used to be different, more puffed and had pepper on them, they are more like square crisps and tubes consistency these days.
@@klisher I cant remember the pepper element but they are definitely different to how they used to be.
Beef Space Raiders are rare but I assume they're still around. No idea how much they've changed over the decades though.
I remember back in the late 80s early 90s you could get green chili popadoms in a bag from certain pubs, they were fantastic, no idea who they were made by but they went down well with a pint!
Burton's Potato Puffs were like little brittle pillow cases, not those wheaty things you showed. No one's ever been able to recreate that particular flavour since Burtons went away.
Yeah that's what I thought, I used to get them as a kid in the 90's and crush the bag up so it was basically crispy dust :)
What he showed looked more like a wotsits type crisp.
That's how I remember Piglets as being too. You never got too many whole Piglets in a bag as they were so fragile.
Wow I have been trying to remember what they were called but thanks , they were my absolute favourites ,especially barbecue flavour . Also late sixties M&S roast chicken , thee best ever .
Oh my god I remember these!!
These were so good, and yeah, I used to crush 'em up even more too before eating
11.14, your program are brilliant, I used to love potato puffs they were my faves
