Re: What do you remember???

I haven't read all the pages but wondered if anyone mentioned that the Smiths crisps with the blue bagged salt was 3d a bag. HOWEVER, as a kid, you could buy Smith bags of broken crisps. These were in really packed full bags and were 1d each. On a Saurday night, my cousin and I were given pocket money and we bought a bottle of Tizer between us and SIX bags of ld crisps. Mmmmmmmmmm they were super!!

Re: What do you remember???

I've never bought broken crisps, but I have had broken biscuits from Woolworths.

Re: What do you remember???

Oh yes, Jimmy, I remember buying them as well ..... Woolworth's had them in large tins containing different biscuits, I was often sent in there to ask for a pound of mixed biscuits please...

Re: What do you remember???

Who else remembers 'Gob stgoppers' that changed colour (and flavour) the longer you sucked them????

Re: What do you remember???

Yes, I remember Woolies tins of broken biscuits Mags. My brothers and I used to rummage through the bag at home and often find a priceless gem, say a broken bit with cream in.

Re: What do you remember???

I remember them as well, if you were really lucky, you got a chocolate one...

Re: What do you remember???

Mine would last me for days Uncle Joe, putting it down 'for later', wipe the fluff off and start again. Was there a little seed right in the centre or am I thinking of something else? Thank god they're banned (are they?) could choke to death on one of those

Ahhhhh but isn't that one good way of getting rid of modern brats????

Re: What do you remember???

I remember the little blue bags that were twisted at the top and was delighted when I found two were in the bag.

You can still get them today, only difference being, the blue salt bags have been replaced by little blue sachets.

Re: What do you remember???

We had to queue up at the Off Licence every Thursday night to buy our packet of crisps ........ Thursday's were crisps day and we kiddies used to get very excited!
