Fish and Chip crisps

Spring, 3 April, 2008 at 16:04 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 46

I used to love these as a kid and i don't see them anymore. I would love a packet again.

Crisps seemed so great then. Transformer ones where you could put the wheels on the car and the ones shaped liked pigs?

Anyone seen them lately?

    Can you still get Scampi Fries?

    My friend at Uni used to stick his nose in a newly opened packet, breathe in deeply, sigh and then say "Mmmm . . . Sarah . . . " or the name of whichever girl was standing closest to him

    So embarrassing! [:I]

    I used to love curry flavoured crips. I don't think they were around for very long but they were my favourite.

    Scampi Fries are THE best crisps. Mmmm.

    Never been able to find the cheesy ones to try them.

    Yes, the pig shaped ones were Piglets. Hardly anyone seems to remember them though.

    I remember the pig ones definitely. I loved them. There were some crisps which were the same texture as the pigs, but not pig-shaped, in cheese and onion and salt and vinegar flavour which I also loved.

    We had teeny packets of puffs at our school tuck shop- like Wotsits but softer. The salt and vinegar ones were spectacularly flavoursome. They did beef ones, too- they were ace!

    I love cheap crisps.

    Were they cheeseburger flavour?

    I remember the pig ones too, they were so hollow and never filled you up.

    And the fish and chips?, I loved all the flavouring on them.

    I buy the transformer spicy ones from Morrisons.

    Fish and chips were made by Burtons, I loved them but they dont make them anymore.

    There is a petition here to bring them back
