Burton's Potato Puffs!!
They were THE yummiest snack ever invented.
I just emailed Burton's to find out where I can get some from. That is how sad my life is!

I noticed some in my local Londis shop the other day. Must be at least 10 years since I'd last seen them......

Awkward swines to eat though.

OP, I agree. These little fluffy pillows of delight were the best snack ever invented. I used to rush home from school to get a bag in Nobby's sweet shop every day, they were beautiful.

![]() I loved them and have never found anything else as good. P.S. Am I right in thinking they used to come in a red bag ? |

Yes, red bag! Marvellous! And....there are other people with nothing better to do than discuss potato snacks. Oh happy day!

![]() ![]() ![]() I'm just glad someone else remembers them - I got to the stage I thought I must have imagined them - my OH doesn't know what I'm talking about when I try to describe them ![]()

and what about Wheeler's crisps - the ones with a squirrel on the front and shaped oddly enough like wheels!

Unfortunately they don't make them anymore.
![]() If you find any, I'd have a good look at the sell by date before you buy..it's likely to be about 3 years past the date at the minimum. |

Blue bags were salt & vinegar, red bags were ready salted and brown bags were beef...and they were only 2p in my day!

"Thank you for your e-mail. Burton's Potato Puffs were discontinued about five years ago when Burton’s Foods made the decision to move away from the production of mainstream savoury snacks due to the highly competitive nature of this market. Burton’s focus is now on sweet biscuit production and the marketing of premium savoury under the Bertolli licence. We have no plans for the re-introduction of these savoury products." Were the ones in Londis an appetizing green colour?

I bought a pack of Walkers Crinkles today and ended up with a flash back of crisps from yonder year. I think it was Puffs that I was thinking of but can't find a picture of the actual crisp to find out. Either way if anyone is still looking for a fix of the old good stuff I think Walkers might have a close contender
