I love having this conversation with colleagues and I'm always really intrigued by answers.

For me it would be the Spira. They were just beautiful.

I love reading through Wiki for old crisp flavours and stuff like that. I don't get out much as you can tell Grin

@littlemissminor

Oh my goodness, no way!!! Thank you for letting me know. I do my online shopping with Tesco, so I shall be searching, and staking out my local Tesco if I can’t get them online!

Definitely Spira at the top of the list.

Then campinos, but would have to be both flavours (strawberries and cream AND the peaches and cream); easily pleased me not!

Then fuse bars.

I’m sure loads of others.

They’re in every list such as this maybe we need an actual petition. Although Cadbury’s ain’t all that great these days.

I can’t remember if it was Texas or Texan bars, the were divine

BrutusMcDogface · 05/04/2018 21:11

Oooh yes, I'd forgotten the cadburys marble! That was one of my faves, too!

I've recently bought spring onion walkers!! The only problem is I can't remember where from....I regularly shop in Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons.....Tesco sometimes. I think they might have been in Asda.

BrutusMcDogface · 05/04/2018 21:13

Ah, sorry, it was pickled onion! Sad
