Trojan Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I remember when Smiths Crisps were more or less the only option. They came in a greaseproof bag. In the bag as well as crisps was a little blue greaseproof screw of salt. Sometimes there was more than one of these screws and if you weren't paying attention you could bite into pure salt. There was a company near where I lived called Berkley Foods and they produced a snack called Nib-its. They were savoury but I'm not sure what they were made of. “Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter. But he ended PM, CH and OM.

Couldn't beat a bag of XL washed down with a bottle of Dent's yellow lemonade when we were kids. Or sometimes a frozen Keeko !

Futtocks Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 The Nibb-it name seems to still be around, albeit with different companies. They all seem to be similar things, but made by Smiths, Cheetos and even a Hawaiian company. It looks like manufacturing was licensed to various companies in different territories by the Nibb-It Corporation: https://beachpackagingdesign.com/boxvox/the-nibb-its-see-thru-bag Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Bleep1673 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Preferred Golden Wonder, Ready Salted, I developed a taste for Smiths Salt 'n' Vinegar matchsticks, then went off crisps altogether, when I played for the glorious Irlam Hornets, we always stopped for a pint at the White Horse on the way home after training, and the 3 of us bought two bags of Scampi Fries, my local shop sells them, and my 12 year old daughter loves them, when she visits, she wants a bag. Tried her with the Bacon Fries, she hates. Personally I like Quavers, these days. When I was working in Theatres, there was nothing better at a lunch time than a plain Ham Sarnie, then putting ANY flavour of crisps on as flavour, just to see the look on the face of the foreign nurses & Doctors.

Mumby Magic Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 What about certain known crisps in different flavours like I think recently Quavers did a prawn cocktail flavour. Like poor jokes? Thejoketeller@mullymessiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
