I dont like that they tried to make Disco's all "Street" by putting "Flava" instead of Flavour.

Does anyone remember Pringles Idaho rippled crisps - from memory a blue tube? Dont ever recall seeing them in this country but used to love em when I lived abroad. Also when Sour Cream & Onion was Sour Cream n Chives actually with little bits of chives on them and tasted far superior to the crappy current version.

Found this interesting read re: Pringles:

Remember the advert with Lenny Henry walking through a room, and slowly getting bigger (excuse the pun!) until eventually his head hits the ceiling?
I think he was advertising Smiths Square Crisps

Default KP Beef Crisps in the late 70s early 80s

I remember the strong taste of KP beef crisps back in the early 80s tremendous.

Does anyone remember Peri crisps which were 2p for a packet. Tudor pickled onion in a blue bag for 2.5p. And for those kids with more pocket money Golden Wonder crisps 3p for a packet.

What about the Aztec bar which was a sister to the Mars bar but in a purple wrapper. A Bar Six which you could purchase from school vending machines for 10p.

There must be an opportunity for a sweet manufacturer to undertake a survey or market research to see if some of these great products could be reintroduced.

First on the list would be the Milk Tray bar 6-8 inches log hosting a range of chocs including orange, strawberry etc. However i don't think it could sell for 10p.
