Anyone remember Curry chips crisps. They were out in the mid 90’s, 10 or 20P a pack. Quality crisps.

Standard fare on that page. Only ones I wouldn’t see around are Tayto Wuster Sauce. I guess that is from the Nordie Tayto place 

Correct. The very oddly spelled Wuster Sauce are northern Tayto. And they are absolutely lovely. Local here sells them. A fine accompaniment to a nice pint of Stout.  

Must look out for them and give them a bash

Banshee bones were lovely alright. Wonder why they stopped producing them I’m sure they were still a hit. 

I think Tayto/Largo own all the Old brands like Perri, King, KP, etc.
So they should have the possibility to easily bring stuff back.
They should start a promotional campaign to vote for the return of your favourite crisp Big smile

I treated myself during lockdown and got a box of 24 Salt and Vinegar Keogh's from Amazon.
Obviously, I'm now complaining about being fat as f**k after lockdown but there you go!

Clap



Cruncho's which were hot dog flavoured. Think they were about 12p

When you think about you could get a load of things out of a pound in the shops back then

Indeed.  What's the point of just for Halloween?  Might as well give with one hand and take with the other.

Stuff that needs to come back

Fat Frogs
Loop the Loops (the proper ones)
Wibbly Wobbly Wonders (the 90s ones)
Cadet Cola
Frosties (not sure if still made)
Pied Piper to: Baldrick, Brendan 88, 9Fingers, Borussia and more...

I could make an A4 page list of the things I'd like to see back. Annoying thing is it's not like the companies that made them have gone out of business, they just streamlined the product range based off some financial analysis of the optimum number of products to produce in the certain category no doubt. If I was in management or marketijg for tayto or whatever id be running polling campaigns, what flavour to bring back for a limited time, do it once per quarter.

My buddy that lives in Spain always makes me bring over sh*tloads of these when I’m going over. I think that’s what he misses most about Ireland.

The king of all crisps, corn snacks and anything else you care to mention. Truly wonderful things, but incredibly addictive. I try to save them for hangovers these days.

Is there a way of getting the smell off the paws though? Even in these days of washing them even more and applying hand sanitiser multiple times a day there is still a slight whiff of it for ages.

The packs of Bansee Bones are selling well and thankfully picked up 2 the other day from the local Ald. Still taste very nice 

Wish Tayto would bring out some more of the old perri products like Pub crisps, Mummies(not sure were these perri)

The Perri C&O catering crisps are unreal

Had a few bags of Banshee Bones last week.  I forgot they were salt and vinegar flavour.  Had always thought they were bacon flavour but was mixing them up with Ghosties.
