I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the quality of Aldi crisps.

My bi-weekly Aldi run consists of 3 bags of Snackrite Cheese Puffs, 1 bag of Snackrite Onion rings, 6 bottles of Vive Zero cola and a bag of Flix Mix. With additional Snackrite ridge crisps when required. The cheese puffs are vastly superior to the normal Asda fare for flavour.

I love cheese puffs. If you ever find yourself in Sainsburys, I’d recommend you grab a bag of their jumbo cheese puffs. They are so good. Think they’re about a quid for a sharing bag, but I certainly don’t share mine :p

*** DIVISIVE QUESTION ALERT ***
Are popped crisps, counted as crisps?

I've been addicted to them in preference!

Anyone old enough to remember Tudor Crisps also known as Smiths Tudor after Smiths acquired Tudor.
They used to have a large number of flavours if I recall correctly and were later bought out by Walkers (Nabisco)

I think it was them who used to make Bovril crisps, not sure if anyone makes a Bovril flavour anymore?
 
Yeah, Tudors were good. In the south east London pubs, you used to get a crisp called Tavern Snacks. They were absolutely lovely. I think the company is still going.

Used to eat Smiths as a kid just because of this advert

Many years ago I had a summer job in the Tudor (Smiths Tudor/Walkers) factory at Peterlee, Co. Durham.

Firstly on the crisp production lines as a "starch digger out" where the job was to constantly remove the build up of starch from the slicer unit that sliced the potatoes into slivers for the friers.
After a few weeks as a "starch digger out" I was promoted to chef status in another part of the factory where we made "Nuttie Pops" and "Mazie Pops" in vats where we threw all the ingredients into the vat, cooked it up a short while while stirring it with a canoe paddle.

The chef job was great fun, we used to fly though the batches and shout "tipping" to the girls on the bagging and packaging line when we were going to tip the batch onto the conveyor belt.
The girls were used to working at a sedate pace so we ramped up the speed one day and started "tipping" faster with the lads bringing us the ingredients pronto as part of the fun. After about three or four "tipping" shouts at the new fast pace we started to get a chorus of ****** and blinding from the girls telling us to slow it down.

Happy days...
