Brannigans are still around as well. My shop has them, I know that much!

Im currently eating a bag of Brannigan's Roast Lamb and Mint, my favourite ever crisps.

Used to get some of these from a massive old school vending machine at the local swimming pool.
The only place that I remember being able to get Hedgehog crisps from was a health food shop strangely enough.
I think the ones I miss the most are KP Wickers & Farmer Browns, the Jaws ones were nice too.

This book is due out in September, it looks like it's gonna be good.

I'm so glad someone posted that image of the Football Crazy snacks. Been thinking of them for the past few months, and could never remember the name of them. I used to get through quite a few bags of them when I was younger. Used to go mad on them. Bloody tasty. In fact, I can taste them now. And the Tubes from the last page, I thought were on par with Wheat Crunchies, if not better. But, did I imagine it, or was there more flavours than ready salted?

You can still get them in the shops too, can't you? Likewise Frazzles. Though good call on Tubes...even if they were just rolled up Squares.

They put Frazzles in the snack machine at work. They're usually all gone within a couple of days while the plain jane cheese 'n' onion etc get left behind.

Nice one Demon Eye and Twoheadboy I remember those Jaws crisps the actual crisps where sharks teeth.. Also the Spiderman crisps had Villian Biographies on the back like Dr Doom.. Bones have been released as Banshee Bones with a female ghost replacing the Skeleton I was lucky enougth to get some of them.. Never though I'd see any of them crisp packets again... Anybody have a picture of the Ringo crisp packets?
