This should possibly go in the Food and Drink section but thought I might get a better response in this section.

Thought I'd stick both of these in one topic as it's driving me wild, maybe somebody can help.

Firstly, I'm looking to see if anybody can remember a certain type of crisps from quite a few years back (no clue if they still produce them). The flavor I remember in particular was bacon and they were basically like a thinner french fry. That's pretty much all I've got to go on, haven't seen them around for years (might of been late 90's or early 00's that I last had them). I've searched around google over and over and for the life of me can't find them. No idea who made them or what they were even called.

Secondly, looking for something I used to have back in the early 00's. You could get them in the newsagent, they were basically small flavored ice pops but shaped in cubes. You got a small little packet with something like 10+ in them. You'd pop one out at a time and into your mouth. Picture a packet kind of like this:

So you just simply popped them out and had your little ice pop style cube there.

Been driving me crazy and thought I'd see if anybody can help out. Not much to go on but can't think of anywhere else to ask, surely must be one person looming with an idea, cheers guys

Bacon flavour one.......was it Frazzles ?

Nah, these are similar to french fries but thinner than what they are.

Forget what they were called. You used to get some very thin little sticks. Not chipsticks though. were they just called potato sticks?

Hickory Sticks?

They sell them in Canada I think.

Burtons potato puffs were great, but its not those either

Potato sticks. Smith (not Chip Sticks, which is different), KP or French. I don't remember seeing the one with the bacon flavour in this country, though.

Agh, I should have read posts in this thread before posting mine. My apologies.

Pretty sure it's not them sadly, though they look pretty tasty

I've been through pages of pages and spent ages going through everything I can think of, bacon potato sticks, bacon crisps, old classic crisps etc etc and can't find them anywhere. It's a bit tough considering all I can remember is that they were bacon flavor and like french fries (though now somebody mentioned chip sticks, I'm actually starting to question if they were actually more of a chip stick texture, oh dear haha). Is there any old style bacon chip sticks?

reading this thread has made me want a packet of scampi fries... and a pint of cold Bulmers cider... yummm.

Wouldn't be rancheros.??

Were they not Minichips?
