I can't really remember. We are talking years ago!

It was a powder though

Horsegirl1 · 26/08/2016 23:10

Derek I often add cheese and salad cream to my crisp sarnies. Now that is the dogs bollocks of all sarnies. Not recommended longterm but hey u only live once

I think Squares hurt more - that's how I judge a great S&V crisp.

Alibobbob · 26/08/2016 23:10

Onion square crisps were the best..... The nearest I can get to the taste is to eat a cheese and onion square and a salt and vinegar square at the same time!

Horsegirl1 My sister went through a phase of putting vinegar on her crisps!!!!

Bloopbleep · 26/08/2016 23:13

I love the tongue burn from s&v discos. You need a grab bag at least for best effect.
The tongue burn from frazzles just hurts. Gutted they destroyed frazzles :(

Boogers · 26/08/2016 23:13

Waitrose and Horsegirl

You are both wrong. It has to be cheese and onion Walkers, though you're right about the Lurpak, and it has to be white bread too. Mmmmm .

Horsegirl1 · 26/08/2016 23:16

Has anyone had the next day tongue peeling affects after a full bag of discos ? Urghhhhh it's gross. I get this after iv ate to many. It burns my tongue and makes it shed a layer of skin. It's rank. I hAve to scrub my tongue when I clean my teeth

Yes, I find it affects the taste of things for several days after. The worst culprit is salt and vinegar McCoys, the daddy of strong crisps.

Keepingupwiththejonesys · 26/08/2016 23:20

I'm also having a thing for tongue sting. I'm finding salt.and vinegar Pringles and McCoys pretty good

FeelingSmurfy · 26/08/2016 23:21

My tongue shivered when I read the title! One or two is lovely but a whole half a pack rips my tongue to shreds

iklboo · 26/08/2016 23:22

I craved salt & vinegar crisps when I was having DS. Discos, chopsticks, McCoys mainly. Wonder why it's a popular craving?

Thingmcthingyface · 26/08/2016 23:23

Ahh salt and v snack a jacks burn the roof of your mouth soooo good

BrightOranges · 26/08/2016 23:28

Now I'm going to have to buy some Disco salt n vinegar because I seriously do not remember them being that tangy. Monster Munch pickled onion are good too. I don't have any crisps in the house of any flavour and am craving them so much thanks to this thread.

dontpokethebear · 26/08/2016 23:29

Soubriquet
FINALLY someone else remembers! I posted about it a few months ago (can't remember if was my own thread or on another crisp related one).
I think it would have been around the mid nineties when they did it?

mharimay · 26/08/2016 23:43

This was also my pregnancy craving!! They're amazing! X

havemercy · 26/08/2016 23:51

I got the most amazing tongue burn from eating aldi stackers/pringle type crisps in salt & vinegar. Did eat most of the tub though and I wasn't even pregnant Blush

JustineBeaver · 27/08/2016 00:00

So are you washing down the salt n vinegar discos with the 3 bottles of wine you consume in an average weekend (previous post) or was that referring to your pre pregnant self? HmmConfused

HaggisMuncher · 27/08/2016 06:51

Didn't even know these still existed! Will have to get hunting for them. Co-op' seasalt and white wine vinegar crisps the most vinegary we have found Grin

Binglesplodge · 27/08/2016 07:11

Sobriquet, I remember! In fact I was just telling someone about the bag of extra vinegar dust the other day. They didn't look like they believed me. It's REAL!

Oh, and it was amazing. I've really found my people on this thread. Salt and vinegar crisps should make your mouth hurt. That's how you know you're doing it right.

Samihowe27 · 31/05/2024 22:43

Yes I remember my partner says I must be dreaming lol deffo remember 👍

Samihowe27 · 31/05/2024 22:44

Been trying to find a pic x

Brieandbeetroot · 31/05/2024 22:47

Oh yes, also pregnant and salt and vinegar crisps are my go to anyway, but discos are incredible! And Frazzles. Proper ones, not rip off own brand versions.

Mentioning discontinued things - does anyone else remember Pringles rice infusions? The salt and vinegar ones of those were so strong they literally made the inside of my mouth peel off but they were so addictive! Think they were circa 2007/2008.
