Used to eat loads of these as a kid. Local shop did them 3 for 5p when I was a nipper. Stopped eating them when I got barred for stuffing 3 packs of custard creams up my jumper and thinking no one would notice. Got a double kicking for that from Bob the shop owner and me mum.

 

Occasionally you would get a packet which had loads of the "gammon" seasoning on them which actually made them resemble the colour on the front of the packet. Eating a pack of them made you glow in the dark and cause radio noise. 

 

Happy days!

I can't find the photos but does anyone remember the small bottles of pop called 'Thirsty Packs' 

 

 

I do. They were called Thirsty Pak if memory serves.

Have the raspberry one and your mouth was stained red for the rest of the day.

I spilt some on my new school shirt and it had to go in the bin.

Me mam went mad.

We used to get both Alpine and Schofield lemonade deliveries round ours, Schoies did the green cream soda which was ace.

You could get Schofields in the shop by us but only Alpine did deliveries.

Schoey's was lovely, as was Full Swing.

Is something happening that Tony's not invited to and this is a way of keeping him distracted.

 

I reckon 72% of this thread will be Moanero.

You say that like it's a bad thing. And 72%? We'll do well to get away with that.

Great quality control too, all this for a quid! Had a running joke with a guy at work that we'd randomly pick up the odd bag and compare how many bags you actually get.

 

I won.

Edit: bit sad how little I had to scroll through to get to late 2019 though...

I have enough stuff sitting to rebuild at least 4 or 5 of them plus a barn full of various other bits for them Stig, so get yourself one and you'll never be shy of spare parts. For a small fee of course.

It really annoys me that Walkers are a thing, there crisps are shite so they had to buy out everyone else and shut them down.
