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.

Corn snacks all the way, the best ones are by Perri, Banshee bones and hot lips.

Although I do love Tayto cheese and Onion (especially in a sandwich) but I don't think you can get them outside of Ireland.

NikNaks! Scampi and Lemon flavour. Although they're not as good as they used to be.

Lol, poll time..
Corn based or potato based!

Corn for me.. I'm a bottomless pit for Doritos etc

Roundaboot · 31/08/2023 14:23

I'm going to throw a curve ball in there and say rice based snacks are the best. Those big flat round crackers, the little Japanese mixed ones with seaweed on, the knobbly chili ones...all elite!

Smokey Bacon Wheat Crunchies 😋

I’m actually physically salivating reading this thread 😆

Roysters crisps are the best ever. Fact.

My local pub in Croydon sells Tayto

I buy them in home bargains. They are the best! Walkers are no where near as good 😂

Beef Space Raiders are heavenly. Always to be found in my crisps drawer.

@Ulotreto I found Tangy Toms in Aldi. Brought the memories right back. My daughter loves them and is now a fan.

Please someone bring back Beef & Onion Walkers.

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

Oh man, tangy toms were sooo good! 🤤 Assume they don't make them anymore though as not seen these for years.

IHateWasps · 31/08/2023 18:21

I love corn and processed potato snacks more than actual crisps. Though flavoured nuts/chickpeas/corn etc are even better.

These are my current favourite snack from Lidl.

They can be difficult to find, B&M/Home Bargains and Aldi sell them now and again, but they're still around.

GlitchStitch · 31/08/2023 18:26

Spicy Tomato Snaps are the best ever. Hard to find these days though.

applecharlotte12 · 31/08/2023 18:33

Yes - all corn based snacks taste better than potato. Love a cheese puff, bbq space invader, Cheetos, tortilla chips etc.

Alycidon · 31/08/2023 18:37

Does anyone remember these - they were the best ever!

Occasions the cheese herb ones

I haven't had tangy toms since I was in school, now going to have to hunt them down! Love corn snacks, spicy, pickled onion but not beef.

I swear they changed the recipe for cheese tasters. Probably took some crap out. They don’t taste nearly as good 😭

It's only the crap that makes things taste as good as they do...

JerkintheMerkin · 31/08/2023 19:49

@DinoMummsy Tangy Toms are in Aldi right now. Bought some on Monday.

I read the title of this thread and thought I'd started a thread and forgotten I'd done it 😂

Taylorscat · 31/08/2023 19:54

Oh my god I’m 49 and I’ve only just learnt that some crisps are corn based and some potato based!

mind blown

i’m never eating a potato based one again- the corn ones are so much better and now I know they’re an entirely different snack!!

cakecoffeecakecoffee · 31/08/2023 19:56

BBQ Transform-a-snax ❤️

CowboyBootsForAllOcassions · 31/08/2023 19:56

Spicy Bikers... best ever.
