Lost Crisps and Snacks of Days Gone By | Remember These?
Ойын-сауық
Our love affair with crisps still burns brightly, so I thought it was time for a video dedicated to the humble crisp, in particular those favourites of yesteryear that are sadly no longer available. Get ready for a nostalgic jaunt back to the tuck shops and newsagents of the past as we remember Lost Crisps and Snacks of Days Gone By.

Smiths Salt n Shake crisps in the 70's... Where I grew up, it was "the law" that they could ONLY be opened in front of a friend(s). Why? Independent proof was needed to prove that you'd got more than one wee blue bag in your packet. I once had 17 in mine. We were amazed, and I was a "celebrity" for about a week or so!

As a Salt & Vinegar aficionado, I was a fan of the Bones Horror Bags. I also liked S&V Discos and Squares. S&V were always in blue bags too, not this green bag rubbish that Walkers foisted on us. These day's I'm firmly in the McCoys camp for crisps, although I do still love a ham and cheesy Wotsit sandwich from time to time. Update: I've just remember a lovely Sausage & Tomato flavour that I was hooked on at one point. Pretty sure they were Golden Wonder.

Chipmonk ready salted was my favorite back in the day, also Tudor pickled onion flavour. The Tudor advert shown in your video was shot on a hot summers day in Gateshead, Bensham, the newsagents in the advert was called Sobers, the back lane scene was a lane just off Kelvin Grove. The local fire brigade hosed the street down to make it look like it had just rained. How do I know, well I was part of a hand full of kids that watched the filming of the advert, they gave us free crisps to keep us quiet during filming, it was the highlight of our summer. The end of the advert was at the Dunston Rocket flats. The Rocket, and the streets surrounding the newsagents are no longer standing. Thanks for making this video and bringing back so so many happy memories.

As a child, during the late 70s and early 80s, my mum worked as a boating pool attendant at the Strand Leisure Park in Gillingham Kent for 6 summers. At the Strand Cafe, they used to sell Chipmonk Crisps for 10 pence a packet. I remember this because my mum flatly refused to spend 10 whole pence on a bag of crisps at the Cafe, when on the way home, we passed a shop, gone now, like the boating pool, where she could get a packet of Golen Wonder for 7p instead! If memory serves, I think the Chipmonk crisps might have been a little bigger, than the standard size of Golden Wonder bags.

Good N Crunchy. We were shopping one day on Princess Street in Edinburgh, when we got approached and asked if we wanted to sample an upcoming brand new crisp. Most exciting. Got taken to an old church they were using, had to test some crisps, and fill in a bunch of forms. We really enjoyed them. I seem to remember it took about a year after that for them to be in the shops, but they tasted the same. Really liked those. Especially Salt N Vinegar ones.
Loooved the Tudor crisps in the 1980's as a kid Pickled Onion flavour was my favourite Football Crazy crisps were nice as well Smith's Salt N Shake crisps were my Late Mum's favourite loved the Tubes crisps loved the Piglets now long gone a great trip down crisp memory lane😍😍😍😍
The thing I mainly remember about crisps in the late 70s/early 80s is that you could put the empty packets in the oven and they would shrink down so you had a perfect miniature. They worked a bit like the Shrinky Dinks you’d get to colour in and then heat in the oven to shrink down to make keyrings. Also I’m pretty sure that the Farmer Brown’s advert uses the music from Herman’s Hermits song Mrs Brown You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter. Adding to that a bit of my favourite trivia is that song was written by Trevor Peacock who played Jim in The Vicar Of Dibley.

Tudor Crisps. Smith Crisps. There's a reason my nickname was Spud as a kid! Great video. Thanks 👍👍
Farmer Browns crisps, love it! 🐄🐄🐂🐂💙
Tubes and Squares! I'd forgotten all about them. I used to always get Tubes for my lunch box as Mum would not let me have monster much due to how big the bag used to be! And at 10p I would always try and sneak in a bag of space raiders, though only one newsagents in town stocked them.
I used to LOVE Tudor Crisps in the 1980's Spring onion was my favourite ! seeing them brought back the actual taste in my mouth 40 years on !...FAB
Ohhh and chipmunk cheese n onion were lush 😁
A could never forget farmer browns a was given a bag for my snack first day of school 1978 lol
Who remembers Smiths crispy tubes? These were my favourites.

I remember them. They would often be broken up in the bag but still very tasty. I grew ip in London and Golden Wonder and Smith’s had the monopoly.
i remember the Tudor crisps very well.
'Fish 'n' chips, same flavour as chipstix but mini shaped biscuits, loved em!
Used to love those football crazy crisps when I was a kid 👊🏻💥
I have always loved all crisps for my entire life and I still eat probably too many. I loved Monster Munch since the 1970s when I was a kid (got the t-shirt after sending off three crisp packets), and I love all the others - my current favourite is Flamin' Hot Wotsits (so deliciously moreish) but not many supermarkets sell them. I usually get them on a shopping order. Thank you God, and the Manufacturers, for inventing crisps; always loved them, always will. 🤗❤ xxxx
I’m so old I remember when bags of crisps contained crisps and not fresh air.
Chipmunk oxo crisps when I was a kid 😊 thanks for the memories ❤
Takes me right back 👍😁👍
Loved the bacon flavoured claws! What a lovely trip down memory lane.
Think there were a couple called Space Raiders and something like Griddles, both beef flavoured. Ate loads of them at school back in the early eighties. Forgotten about Piglets! Discos was a popular one. They brought them back in the nineties but weren't quite the same.

Beef Space Raiders are rare but I assume they're still around. No idea how much they've changed over the decades though.
I really miss Sky divers! They were delicious!!!! My absolute all time favourites!
I am a Crispaholic... Love them 😀
I stopped eating crisps a couple of years ago but do still eat the off wotsit though. Love your videos, so many US YT'ers BUT you do proper UK stuff, stuff I remember and grew up with, so a massive Thank you Stu.

Great video I can remember many of those brands and products. Loved golden wonder still think they were my favourites. Now a flavour I wish you could still get was Bovril..
I also remember eating Ringos, bought from the school tuck shop. Cheese and Onion or Salt and Vinegar flavours
I remember having a corn based crisp in the 80s, possibly space themed, and in each bag there were about three different colours of crisps. I can't even remember what flavour they were but I definitely saw them as a special treat when our mum bought them for us. I also loved KP crisps, C&O, prawn cocktail and beef flavours.
Had an uncle who worked at Rileys right through to it becoming Golden Wonder, and used to fetch us sack fulls of various crisps. I really liked their Nik Naks and Bacon Wheat Crunchies and the long forgotten Salt and Vinegar Seashells. When i was at Primary school i bloody loved those Piglets!!
The only brand I can think of that wasn’t mentioned is Murphy’s. They were available in local (Hampshire/Wiltshire) pubs. Very strong flavours. Salt and vinegar was purple I believe!

I still remember when they made a big fuss avout the first ever foil crisp packet, to help keep the flavour fresh.
I loved Bats bones and fangs …the snack of my childhood 😞
My late husband told me of his regular Tudor crisp raid at the Co-Op in the centre of Newcastle as a boy. 10 bags for a quid he told me. I lived in Bristol for 30 years and the closest we had to Tudor was Chipmunk crisps. That was the name, not a flavour. As for hedgehog crisps, I am a Somerset bloke and I can remember a long time ago several pubs serving roast hedgehog. That will get the vegans going🤣🤣

Griddles spring to mind. "Crisp potato Griddles with the holes on the middle". Rancheros were a favourite. We used to buy Horror Bags Salt and Vinegar Bones from the vending machine at the swimming baths back in the 1970's after lessons. Not crisps, but you could also buy Coca Cola from the a vending machine there too, it was the best ever. It wasn't in bottles or cans, but in those white plastic cups. It was absolutely the best as it always delivered more syrup than a can had in it making it extra sweet. Happy days.
Piglets wow used to buy these they were one of my favs brilliant memory's buddy 👍👍👍
