Random purchase from B&M bargains in town. Really good taste and texture brings back childhood memories.

Demand went down when you couldn't eat them inside.

Surely you mean 'Beware of confusing the taste with the wife after eating Scampi Fries?'

Salt & Vinegar crisps are almost tasteless compared to what I remember them. I'm still searching for that jaw aching sensation that used to go with this particular flavour.

I remember Seabrook crisps being ridiculously strong, especially the pickled onion ones but now taste quite bland.

I can't work out if it's the manufacturers reducing flavourings so they're not sending kids loopy or obese or just my tastebuds getting old.

Do they still do the little sachet of flavour that you apply yourself? Thought that was quality when I was a nipper. Bit pointless really though.
