Am I the only one who remembers these from the early 90s?
They were frozen chips with ketchup actually inside the chips. Nobody I've asked can remember them.

They are the ones. I couldn't remember who made them.
Another forgotten classic from around the same time are Cheesy Waffles. They came in a yellow box and were around longer than Ketchips but sadly I haven't seen them now for years.

They do a pack of 4 of them for a £1 when on offer and also some with brown sauce in too...I didn't get to try them as they went out of date before I could.
Think I've been had my one was 80p!
Thanks for the info though I shall look out for better bargains
I think even the usual price is £1.49 for 4 but I'm guessing they may be slightly smaller than the individual one you had?
I don't...but they sound nice too.
I've made my own before. You have to be careful when biting into them

I sometimes make burgers with a knob of blue cheese in the middle which sort of melts through the burger:)
As for Ketchips - yes I remember the ad, though never tried 'em, (nor wanted to)
They were of the same era as Alphabites - are they still around? Oh the tension and excitement of waiting to find out if you could make your plate sweary
I think both were Birds Eye and they also did a thing around the same time called Chick Sticks, which I was less keen on and had a horrendously cheesy advert with hideous child actors recreating the 'maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow' scene from Casablanca.
