Hi ,

Does anybody remember the flavours of monster munch that were around in the 90's?

Pickled onion and the hot ones are gorgeous.

I never liked the beef or the cheese ones. I think those were the only other flavours?

They did have Prawn Cocktail for a short while, but it didn't sell very well. They also tried Spicy, Salt n' Vinegar and Bacon.
Beef, Pickled Onion and Flamin' Hot are the main ones now.

It may just be because I've grown up, but aren't they about half the size they used to be??

There was a sky blue bag at one time. Weird strong flavour. Was it salt & vinegar? They haven't been around in ages.

They used to have ones that turned your tongue blue too. I wonder when Kettle Chips will follow that path?

Pickled onion ones were my favourite, rarely see them in the shops now.

The originally only came in Pickled Onion and Roast Beef flavours, Pickled Onion being my favourite. They changed the Pickled Onion flavour at one stage and they were horrible, so ate the Beef ones, they then brought the original Pickled Onion flavour back (or at least a flavour that taste very similar) and I could eat the Pickled Onion ones again.

They are a lot lighter baked than they originally were, they are nice now, but preferred the original consistency.

No, you are right, they have shrunk. Infact, last year the flaming hot ones got alot smaller.

The original ones used to be more stodgy too, now they are a lot 'fluffier'.
