Its got to be Golden Wonder originally formed in West lothian and so my family rumour mill suggests a relative of mine was involved in the setting up of said company.

Walkers :roll: The taiwanese big boy of crisps, not a retro classic, good adverts though

Not retro but they sound tempting after a night on the lash

Some interesting (snack nerd) info in there

Many of Walkers brands were formerly branded under the Smiths Crisps name. This comes from the time when Walkers, Smiths and Tudor Crisps were the three main brands of Nabisco's UK snack division with Tudor being marketed mainly in the north of England and Walkers in the south. After the takeover by Pepsico the Tudor name was dropped and the Smiths brand has gradually been phased out in favour of Walkers.
The only products currently retaining the Smiths brand are Salt 'n' Shake, Salt & Vinegar and Ready Salted Chipsticks, Frazzles and the "Savoury Selection", which includes Bacon Flavour Fries, Scampi Flavour Fries and Cheese Flavoured Moments.

What about Ringos and Discos?

Or that room clearing filth Scampi Fries or Scampi flavoured Nik Naks?

Or putting Hula Hoop packets in the oven?

FCAT!!!

the spring onion and mild curry ones were the best

 

[dyna-ti]

Smiths Salt and shake i would list as the archetypal snack of the bygone age and must be considered as being in the 'retro' class.


Now bought over by Walkers,but lets not hold that against them

Nice one John, for picking walkers and their controversial packet colour scheme :?
A dark and twisted sense of humor you have there boss

Or putting Hula Hoop packets in the oven?

A practice now stopped by health and safety

The finest crisps are Tayto, sadly only available in Ireland.

I have shipments delivered to me every time any of my Irish friends head over there.
