to think these crisps are the best

I remember Sensations being released. All of the flavours/types were on sale in equal measure and I fell in love with the popadom kind.

Then of course some flavours proved more popular (I'm looking at you Thai Sweet Chilli) and some disappeared off shelves.

For the first time in about a decade I've found my faves in Tesco. Get inside me Lime & Coriander Chutney poppadoms!

What usual crisps do like/remember?

Pipers crisps are by far the best.

The Chipotle Sensations! You can only get them at larger Tesco stores now. Good thing there's one that's a 10 minute drive from my house so I can get my fix! Grin

Rancheros were THE best 70s crisps but my faves now are ready salted Seabrook.

YY! Pipers are fantastic. I absolutely love love love the Wessington Tomato ones.

I have never heard of Chipotle sensations! Will definitely keep an eye out.

Never had Rancheros (born 80s). Love Seabrook too.

I promise I eat healthily most of the time, crisps are my treat food

Thanks bruffin!

New crisps to try is exactly what I was hoping to get out of this thread.

I've never come across Manomasa before. The manchego and olive ones look immense.

On another note, did anybody ever try the prosecco crisps?

M&S Rosemary flavoured 'gourmet' style crisps.

Raved about them to anyone who'd listen and then the bastards discontinued them. Angry

Prosecco crisps are the work of the devil. Someone brought a bag into our staff room after Christmas last year and they never got finished.....

Jacobs used to do the most amazing thai sweet chilli rice crackers, and they were discontinued for a while.

But now they're back!! (under another maker)

Technically not crisps, but oh my god, they are so addictive!!

Scampi fries are still available; had them in the pub a couple of weeks ago and you can get them in a mixed bag in Poundland.

Salt and pepper sensations, but they stopped doing them, I am now on to kettle chips in the same flavour and they are good but not the same

Co-op Truly Irresistible Sea Salt and Chardonnay Vinegar Crisps are definitely the best crisps out there

And Worcestershire sauce chip sticks.
