A silly thread to cheer me up and stop me over thinking about work whilst I am on AL and DS is napping and DD and DH have gone to the park.

Only if they are pickled onion, the other flavours are abominable

Dotjones · 31/08/2023 13:26

Only if they're beef flavour like Beef Space Raiders or the Pink Monster in Monster Munch.

I'd argue that potato based snacks are better, especially when topped with that cheese powder stuff. It's like crack cocaine to me. But each to their own.

Very much agree with this, but have to be Pickled Onion.
I'd put supermarket own brand onion ring crisps in as a top tier snack as well.
Monster Munch, especially Pickled Onion, is another great one BUT I think over the last few years they have reducing the amount of flavour in the packs!

I had Cheetos flaming hot twisted puffs yesterday - best thing I have had in a long time!

The best snack hands down is the purple Takis. They must be full of illegal substances because I’ve been known to visit 6 different corner shops to hunt them down when I’ve got a craving.

Frazzles. In a dairyLea on cheap white bread sandwich 😋

yes to Pickled Onion! Not had Cheetos for years, I'll have to see if I can find them! Bamba peanut snacks too!

Bamba peanut snacks! Yes! Love those!

drearydear · 31/08/2023 13:37

Meanies, transformer snacks in spicy flavour.

VeloVixen · 31/08/2023 13:41

I like cheap onion rings, the crisps not the actual battered onion rings (though they’re nice too).

however I’ve just discovered air nuts and am addicted to them.

Screwballs · 31/08/2023 13:43

Potato based suck! I love chipsticks, frazzles, monster munch, wheat crunchies. Walkers can kiss my butt!

drearydear · 31/08/2023 13:44

Oh yes onion rings were nice. I quite fancy some of those now.

peachgreen · 31/08/2023 13:44

Oh hard agree. Lentil-based ones are also good, and wheat ones. Basically everything is superior to a bog-standard potato crisp.

Ulotreto · 31/08/2023 13:47

Tangy Toms and saucy BBQ Transform-a -snacks are the best!

Catusrusty · 31/08/2023 13:48

You are indeed correct in your assertion @PipinwasAuntieMabelsdog

In fact is is impossible to pick a favourite corn based delight, but I would like to submit an m and s cheese taster as a particular highlight. Sadly it's a very rare treat as corn snacks and my digestion are not good bedfellows.

AmbleInAnnBoleyn · 31/08/2023 13:49

Big shout out for Scampi Fries. mmmmmmmmmm heartburn. I love them.

dontforgetme · 31/08/2023 13:51

Myself and ds6 are currently eating a huge bag of space raiders. Can't beat them!!

VeloVixen · 31/08/2023 13:53

I miss Ringos, can’t find them anymore.

VeloVixen · 31/08/2023 13:55

Oh, looks like Iceland might sell Ringos, will pay them a visit.

Banshee Bones ftw

i still miss cheese moments though.

caringcarer · 31/08/2023 14:13

Bacon rashers are the best. Only have them at Xmas though.

HarrietJet · 31/08/2023 14:14

Pickled onion Aliens. They take a layer of skin off your mouth, but it's a small price to pay.

Shopper727 · 31/08/2023 14:14

Onion rings and there used to be really nice transformer snacks but they don’t have that flavour anymore
want some now
