That little curvy plastic box which holds a few pringles. Or any other brand of curvy potato chip of course ... Grin

I see that Asda did a revival, but that was back in 2016.
I've been on Amazon - but the only ones i can see are from overseas and would be £££.

Anyone better at searching stuff out than me? I thought i was just going to find them and order one for DD just like that :(

You can still buy them on flights.

Thank you lovely people!

I've been and registered on morrison's site but the minimum spend is £40. Bugger. I wonder if they do them in the actual store?

Ebay is the way forward i guess. 7 squid though! Shock We had so many of these damn things knocking around the house when my eldest were at school (early 2000s)... used to buy them in Tesco i think for £1. Had silver sparkly ones at one point iirc.

Can't you just do a £40 grocery shop at Morrisons and order however many you need as part of the order?

BarbaraofSevillle - i could i guess. I've only done online shopping once in my life (and the order was wrong! I got one mushroom or something) and i don't shop in morrisons.

I feel i'm throwing obstacles in the way now Grin

I like the way you think kept Wink

We're going with Ebay. DD3 (21) is gobsmacked at the price. ''We had loads of 'em Mum !''

I bought some of these off eBay a few months ago too and had the same horror - they cane free with Pringles for a while didn’t they? And we had bloody hundreds - should’ve just kept them 🙄

BarbaraofSevillle · 25/02/2019 16:53

They're expensive on eBay because they cost £3 to post because they're more than an inch thick. Add in the eBay fees and the seller has spent nearly £4 selling the thing even if they can pack it and get to the post office for free.

I know they're not as 'fun' but you could probably buy a small clippy pot from the supermarket for about a pound. Or don't they actually sell or even give these away in supermarkets?

PurplePepperEater · 25/02/2019 16:54

Oh don’t pay £7 for one though, I got 4 for £8something

Yes, it all adds up i suppose. We did used to get them free i think. Can't quite remember. Free or cheap enough to not worry if they got lost or cracked or they fancied a new colour.

Where did you get yours PurplePepperEater? Although sadly the order button has probably been pressed. DH is head of Ebay purchasing in this house. I'm Amazon queen Grin
