Tomato sauce crisps should be banned

Tomato sauce crisps are lovely. I was gutted when Seabrook stopped making them.

My favourite are ones from Portugal, Ruffles Ketchup, probs under a different name and available here.

Less salt and sugar in them, same as everything really these days. We live longer but **** snacks

I feel like a grumpy old sod moaning how things were better in my day(they were)

skips were amazing at one time but like above they cheapen the recipe and its screws the product.

I never like Skips, it was the way the immediately soggified themselves as soon as you put them in your mouth. Like they sort of melted. Never liked that. Crisps by name etc.

Haven't bought Quavers since they changed the packaging.

Quavers are absolutely pony now, completely different to the old style.

Sainsburys used to do their own version of skips which were ten times better, but they stopped them out of nowhere

Crisps by name etc.

They're not named as crisps, they're described as 'snacks'.

foil packaging on many crisps when came in changed a lot of the flavour.

That was always what I loved about them

Also cant say I've noticed Quavers being different, still enjoy them.

I remember Walkers One’s - They were good!

Up there with Cheese and Onion as being top tier.

I’ll always look out at the Bargain Shops such as Home Bargains, B&M etc as they sometimes have hidden gems like that.

Edit: Another great Crisp is Mark and Spencer’s Wotsits (Cheese Puffs) - Reallllly cheesy, and if you look closely they are that bright they no doubt glow orange in the dark.

Nik naks have cut back on the flavour. I'm furious.

As long as nice'n'spicy is still available then I can live without the others

 

[Reuben klang]

Discos, they’ve definitely cut back on the E numbers as well. Use to be amazing Now just like bit sized cardboard.

I was just about to ask does anyone remember Discos, nice to hear they are still going even if not quite as good. IIRC the salt and vinegar ones were pretty strong.

Yeah they use to be amazing and strong. This maybe strange but I remember my mouth use to salivate once i'd open the packet. Asda have them, I picked up a 6 pack of salt and vinegar for £1.25 i think it was, they had a mix pack as well with prawn cocktail and cheese and onion 6 pack for £1.250. If you want to give them a go.
