"Salt and Shake" crisps are still available, they have always been my favourite "plain" crisps!
I think they were originally marketed under the "Smiths" label but are now "Walkers" branded.
They haven't changed in any way that I'm aware of other than they now are only being sold in multipacks. AFAICR they are packs of eight.
Check out your local supermarkets and you should be able to find them without much difficulty.

Thankyou, i will check it out
Crikey, I'm getting a)nostalgic and b) very hungry reading this thread.
Things I remember and miss, including 'prompts' from other posters:
Pacers
Spangles
Mint Cracknell
Swiskit choc bars (TV ad, mid 70's 'Would you risk it for a Swiskit'?)...think they later became 'Picnics', but tasted different.
'Old Jamaica' choc bars
Boiled sweets individually welded into plastic shells (cost 2p)- used to take ages to eat them (not the plastic!!!)
Apeel orange juice
'Triple Deck' choc bars (plain, milk, white in layers)
Biscuit Yorkie
Cider Shandy 'Top Deck' cans of pop
Baked Potato 'n' cheese flavoured puffs
Baked Potato flavoured crisps
Dentyne aniseed chewing gum
Horlicks Tablets
'Merlin's Brew' mint choc iced lollies
Cider-flavoured iced lollies
Multi-layered 'Jawbreakers' (may still do?)
'Fish & Chips' mini biscuits
AND 'PROPER' SMARTIES!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Apple Mini Pizzas (actually, that's a bit of a 'red herring'...they were vile and my local Tesco couldn't give them away eventually!)
As you can see from above, I have a sweet tooth. Thankfully, there are now these shops/stalls opening up where they specialise in 'childhood favourites' sweets. They locate them from all over the country---thing is, you pay extra for the privilege!!!
Finally, there was this hot dog topping that was discontinued only a few years back. It was striped ketchup and mustard in a tube (bit like toothpaste). My family loved it with hot dogs and then it disappeared. Can't remember who the manufacturer was, either.

All this has reminded me of "Football Crazies" - they only had one flavour I think, Smokey Bacon. They were lovely.

If you put "dried peas" into the Tesco pricechecker, you will find Batchelors dried peas at 34p per 250g in Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons and Asda.
Maybe your local branches of these working class stores think there is no demand?
If you shop in Waitrose or Harrods food hall then just complain and they will order them specially for you.
I prefer Whitworths dried marrowfat peas.
Though Booth's own brand are good too.
You can still get ringos, i had a packet a couple of weeks ago.
Anyone else remember chef packet soups. They were in a small cardboard cube.

Oh so do I
They were yummy!
Cabanas Mmmmnnn.
God this thread has got me drooling. I would also love to see the return of Pacers (same as Opal Fruits in terms of look and consistency but white and green striped and a lovely mint flavour). Also adored cheese and onion Ringos. If you ate a couple of bags on the trot you could almost feel your tongue burning!
You can still get Top Deck shandy.
Has anyone seem Vesta Beef Currys recently as all I can find in the Vesta bit are Risottos. I love a Vesta curry every now and again!

Me too. I think there were two types, blue wrapper one had chopped nuts and the red wrapper one had coconut.
Also just remembered Bandit biscuits.
Others already mentioned...
Apeel.
Flipz - chocolate covered pretzels, yum.
Golden Cup.
