Crazy Bout Crisps

The first mascot of Quavers was a hyperactive cartoon dog named 'Colin Curly', created by Bob Lawrie and voiced by Lenny Henry.  Colin also appeared in two Amiga and Atari ST puzzle games: Pushover (1992), where you are an ant trying to collect packets of crisps that Colin has lost down an ant hill. And its sequel, One Step Beyond (1993), where Colin has to try an escape after getting sucked into his computer at the moment he completes the final level of the prequel game, Pushover. The SNES version of Pushover completely lacks any reference to Quavers or Colin Curly - replacing them instead with bags of money, and a new character named Captain Rat.

Just found this old Hula Hoops advert in the back of a 1985 Eagle comic!

New restaurant Hipchips will serve 'hand crafted' crisps, cut from heritage potato varieties and fried in front of customers. And just in case that's not enough to elevate the humble crisp to restaurant standard, the crunchy snacks will arrive — wait for it — on a conveyor belt. Hipchips will open late October at 49 Old Compton Street, W1D 6HL .. http://londonist.com/2016/10/london-s-latest-one-item-restaurant-is-serving-crisps

The Frito-Lay vice president said that "Doritos" means "little bits of gold" in Spanish, but that is not quite right. The diminutive of "dorado" (golden) is "doradito" and the diminutive of "oro" (gold) is "orito". In the first case Dorito is missing "ad" and in the second case it is missing the D

So just found out you can leave reviews on Tyrrell’s website. I'm pretty sure most of them are done in house as there nearly all 5 stars there's no "There pretty average and i wouldn't get them again" ones ... Some of them even look like there written by the wordsmith who writes the poncey stuff on the back of there packets. Like this short novel on Sweet Chilli & Red Pepper by Dave 'Crispy' McKenna Over the course of time, man has created many wondrous things. The Wheel. Electricity. Gravity. The inventors of such ground breaking stuff could never have imagined that one day they would be wiped off the map like a Dragon’s Den reject, but the day is upon us. The Nobel Prize selection board need look no further. Take a deep breath and allow me to introduce you to the 9th wonder of the world, the legend that is the Tyrrell’s Sweet Chilli & Red Pepper potato crisp. Now, I’m no expert in spud science or crisp manufacturing, but the work, knowledge a

The world record for the largest packet of crisps is 760 cm x 380 cm (almost as tall as a house) holding a massive 1 tonne of crisps. Cambridgeshire's Corkers Crisps set the new world record in 2013, smashing the previous one set by Yorkshire's Seabrook Crisps of 51.35 kg.

Here’s a brilliant 2004 Nik Naks advert created by J Walter Thompson and directed by MJZ's Rocky Morton which got dozens of complaints to media watchdog Ofcom at the time of it’s release.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMF4VpwMS-c Note from  Joanna Apps :   Rocky Morton, who also created Max Headroom with Annabel Jenkel (sister of Chas Jankel from The Blockheads). They went on to make Super Mario Brothers the movie. Wish I had a crisp fact to add.

Did you know that In late 1999, KP produced Hula Hoops that could be cooked at home. Frozen Hula Hoops were not a crisp based snack, they were more like Hash Browns. They began production again in 2013 as part of a range of frozen versions of crisps, this time exclusive to Iceland stores

Great article by Kristian Rodriguez about the WWF Superstars crisps that Red Mill brought out in 1993. http://www.lostentertainment.org/2013/07/junk-food-wwf-superstars-crisps-1993.html

"in an age when austerity is ideologically imposed on the poor, the idea of giving up crisps as being something virtuous cooperates with the rightwing philosophy that austerity is morally advantageous for the poor themselves." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/mar/01/priestly-advice-theresa-may-crisps-lent-dubs-refugees

Here's an 2 old releases from 2015 i just discovered. Grouse and Whinberry and Smoked Pheasant and Wild Mushroom. I have yet to try these and maybe won't as it looks like you have to buy them in packs of 24, bit risky.   https://tasteofgame.org.uk/product-category/crisps/

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news but i have three words for you. POSH CRISP CANCER. It looks like it might be time for middle classed crisp munchers to ditch Tyrells in favor for a packet of Space Raiders .. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/04/03/cancer-warning-posh-crisps-study-shows-contain-three-times-recommended/

So it's like I've just entered a parallel universe. I just discovered 25 flavours of McCoys that i have never seen nor tried, bizarre. This discovery was found on ebay as someone was selling the empty packets. I am super surprised that i missed these, although i am not too gutted about it as I'm assuming that most of the flavours are fairly generic like the range of chicken ones which will not taste like chicken but like chicken crisp flavour (sorry not a big chick en crisp fan). I was intrigued by the John Smiths Steak & Ale ones though, I'm a big supporter of alco crisps as there's a lot of scope in that field. Also the chilli con carnie jackets caught my attention as i wondered how the jacket element would change the fundamentals of the McCoy's crunch + i can't remember ever trying a chilli con carnie crisp.  In regards to the OXO ones, the word OXO does not fill me with joy Per se. This is due to idea of eating a brown salty stock cube but i&#
