Classic bags of Crisps that are no more

While browsing twitter this morning I came across a picture that someone had posted about a variety of potato crisps called Farmer Brown's made by Smiths . These are now sadly long gone but can anyone remember any other varieties that are long gone . I'll pitch a few

Took packed lunch to school always had a bar of Cadbury's milk chocolate and crisps [various flavours] . Regardless of flavour I was always desperate to get out and play football so would trough the lot and got a taste for chocolate and crisps combined . When Walkers were looking for new flavours I wrote suggesting chocolate covered salted crisps but didn't get anywhere, I have not made them myself ,which I could, but not fussed with crisps now . I imagine I could be adding them to your lists . My own memory was Tudor crisps sadly long gone only other one that comes to mind are Mint Sauce crisps.

I think crispy tubes are now wheat crunchies, and spicy tomato are my very favoriteist crisps in the whole world....

Combining the Summerwine theme, Compo reminded me of the 'Golden Wonder' crisps advert with a cartoon man in a Scottish Tan O shanter cap chucking a crisp into his mouth. Compo wore the same cap when he was dining a prospective girlfriend on mushy peas in Sids cafe.

They weren't in a bag, they were in a tube.

Cadbury's Stackers - these were before Pringles, and in a very similar sized tube - and tasted even better.

Yes they're always on sale in Home Bargains!

Yes you can still get Wheat Crunchies, smoky bacon are the most popular but I buy the multipacks for the amber nectar - spicy tomato!!!

Yes. They were called Fish & Chips and were sort of small biscuit like snacks shaped like fish and chips. And salt and vinegar flavoured.

Sadly they don't contain a sachet of mushy peas, and I've never been able to forgive them for that.

Don’t get me started on wheat crunchies. I bought a multi pack yesterday as I had a craving for some tomato sauce flavoured crisps and it was only that brand that had some in the bag. 13 little tubes in a bag … 13!!!!
