Anyone from West Yorkshire and of a certain age will have fond memories of Castle Crisps, made in Castleford, complete with little blue bags of salt. They were much better than the feeble national brands like Golden Wonder, Smith's, etc.
Long gone but definitely not not forgotten.

I used to like Chipmunk crisps - almost certain they did a Tomato Sauce and Oxo flavours.

Luvverly!!!

I use to like Tudor crisps because they were crinkly.

I see there's an OXO flavoured pack in that picture.
Never had them - can only imagine that would be very, very nice!

Guess what I've just found!

No sign of Californian Corn Chips though as yet.

These look pretty nice though:

Oh I can but dream! Maybe we need to start a campaign to bring them back, bowland

Thanks very much for the link.

What about Jaws crisps then? They were shaped like the shark's mouth - sort of like comedy teeth but jaggy.

Not exactly old school but I'd like to see Nobby's Crisps again. I loved the Salt and Vinegar ones
I also liked "Frisps" (cant remember who made them?), they were just crinkly crisps.

You can still get Frisps!! I alwaya thought it was Smiths that made them, but it might be Red Mill. I like the cheese and onion ones yum

edit: my mistake, they're KP

Yeah, Frisps are still around if you can find them. We've had them recently in a multi-bag - ready salted (red), cheese & onion (green) and salt & vinegar (blue) - I am sure they are.

Why did Walkers buck the trend and make the Salt and Vinegar packets blue and Cheese and Onion ones green?

Murphey's worchester sauce
KP beef
Tesco beef
Smith's salt n' vinegar
Smith's bovril
Golden Wonder ready salted, salt n' vinegar, sausage and tomato, beef and onion, roast chicken, smokey bacon, turkey and stuffing, cheese and onion,

Worse day ever when walkers and their insipid flavours became the dominant brand and golden wonder and KP disappeared as their crisps were far tastier and superior.

Sorry if these have already been mentioned. I have no idea what they're called though. they were REALLY thin tubes from what I remember, pretty sure I loved their salt and vinegar flavour the most.

I may be imagining them though.
they are puffs yum yum

Oh.. there were.... they were the Best. I guess Chipmunk got gobbled up (if you'll pardon the pun) by Golden Wonder or Walkers or whoever.

Shame whoever bought them out didn't keep their flavours on board.

Yeah I agree. I also remember that my local sweet shops used have other 5p or 10p packets of puff crisps - one was picked onion flavour and another was salt n vinegar, I'm sure there were a couple more.

Another one is Bensons Crisps - Beef Flavour was lovely and Golden Wonder's Salt n Vinegar too.

You can get multipacks of Frisps for £1 at Iceland. They're usually a 6 pack, but you're getting 3 free right now (been staring at them a LOT recently) Same goes for the multipacks of Discos.
