Crisp/Snack Flavours you wish to brought back

Had a conversation over the weekend about Twiglets and how the Worcester Sauce flavour was the best.
Then today while eating boring old Salt and Vinegar Kettle Chips, I remembered that we used to love the Salsa and Mesquite flavour and bought them all the time, until they were discontinued!
What other crisps/snacks do you wish they brought back?

I loved Phileas Fog’s Californian Corn Chips, they were overloaded with cheese flavouring, and it was bloody lovely.

I loved Wotsits tomato flavour. They were in a multipack with regular cheese, and (horrible) beef.

I miss Walkers ketchup flavour, and wished that more crisps were tomato ketchup flavour

I can often find ketchup flavour of lots of crisps in mainland Europe, agree that we need more here though!

Pickled onion crisps. Light green packet. No idea who made them.

KP Meanies? You can still get them in Ireland under the Tayto brand!

walkers monterray chilli and goats cheese. I feel genuine grief at their loss.

I also agree with those who have said pickled onion discos. I did my tongue irreparable damage but so worth it.

For those who miss Walker beef and onion, M&S do nice beef and onion crisps

A27009D56 · 08/11/2023 20:30

Walkers lamb and mint crisps.

Spicy Tomato Wheat Crunchies. I used to get these from the vending machine at work when working late, and then they disappeared 😢

You can get wheat crunchies in Iceland. Multipack with cheddar & onion and crispy bacon.

I miss Sensations vintage cheddar & onion chutney.

Marks and Spencer did Baked potato and Butter flavoured crisps in the 90s, I remember being really upset when they stopped.

CloudsNeverStayTheyAlwaysGoAway · 08/11/2023 20:38

I miss:

Smiths Tubes

ready salted Square crisps

ready salted Chipsticks

Those potato triangle things that Tesco and Sainsbury's used to do , not the abominations of the same name from M and S.

Some crisps that were like Quavers in texture and shape but IIRC were called Crunchies and came in either beef or cheese and onion. I'm thinking about late 80s or maybe early 90s? Anyone else remember these?

Bacon flavour crisps done by Sainsbury's own brand (again late 80s or early 90s) the texture being similar but not the same as Smiths Bacon Fries . More a love child of Smiths BC and Walkers Sun Bites is the nearest I can describe the texture. I have never met anyone else who remembers them but I just know I didn't dream them? I think they were called Bacon Crispies or something similar?

IHeartGeneHunt · 08/11/2023 20:39

Worcester sauce twiglets for me too. They were amazing.
And Scampi n Lemon NikNaks the way they were before all the msg got taken out.

You can get the bacon ones in England, but they’re not the same 😔

IHeartGeneHunt · 08/11/2023 20:40

And Prawn cocktail Wotsits - they're "back" but they are absolutely not the bloody same.

A27009D56 · 08/11/2023 20:41

Oh I forgotten about the M and S baked potato and butter crisps, they were gorgeous

Came on to say the same. Bovril crisps were the best.

spottedinthewilds · 08/11/2023 20:43

Does anyone remember the bacon flavoured crisps that where the shape of a big. Hollow pillows pig shaped?

ImthatBoleyngirl · 08/11/2023 20:44

Spaghetti flavour Monster Munch. Tomato Ketchup Walkers. Worcester sauce Twiglets

CloudsNeverStayTheyAlwaysGoAway · 08/11/2023 20:45

@spottedinthewilds I think they were called piglets. Were they in a pink packet?

The old Twiglets full stop. They’ve done something worthy with them and they taste shit now.

I saw Christmas pudding flavour crisps today. I’m sorry but WTF???????

They're 'ratten', so I hear!!

CloudsNeverStayTheyAlwaysGoAway · 08/11/2023 20:47

@wensleywhale golden wonder sausage and tomato are sold in the meaty flavour multipacks in Savers.

@IFeelSoSoSad for me it was the Mexican corn chips. Never had a corn chip since that quite hit the spot.

Those Californian Corn Chips were great!! I remember throwing a bag at DH. With an extremely uncharacteristic good aim, I hit him full in the head. He went a bit Incredible Hulk and then we both laughed.

KP Beef (original flavour - have got them the odd time but they aren't nearly as nice!) Tudor Gammon and Pineapple. Golden Wonder Sausage and Tomato.

I don't know what they have done to crisps because none of them are as nice as they used to be!

Gutted about Caramac even though I probably eat approximately one a year!!

lemonyellows · 08/11/2023 21:13

Skydivers. I loved those.

CloudsNeverStayTheyAlwaysGoAway · 08/11/2023 21:17

I miss Beef and original Discos. And I hate that original Squares are only sold as part of a multipack when others are sold individually.

Does anyone remember hedgehog flavour crisps? Now I think 'WTF?' but they were pretty tasty.

There were some garlic flavour crisps with a garlic dip that I used to eat as a student instead of dinner sometimes. Blush They were delicious!

Ha yes! The hedgehog flavour crisps. I bought those quite a bit
