Bit of research for ya...

"The nature of marketing new products is that regional testing can lead to certain items never reaching the greater mass of the public. Evidence seems to indicate that there may have been experimentation with a 'Flavour 'n' Shake' product in the 1980s; but the test release failed to show positive responses and the product was dropped. It seems likely that because the manufacturer was based in Leicestershire, UK, the experimental product never saw the light of day outside of the Midlands region.

The experiment took the simple blue bag of salt and replaced it with a flavouring that could be added in the same fashion described above. For those with a taste for adventure this meant that collecting different bags of flavouring would allow the creation of some truly tongue-pounding combinations that could be enjoyed with or without the crisps supplied."

Midlands region? Well we had them in West Sussex!

Would you mind turning down the axe murderer-ness in your avatar by about 15% please? It's a bit offputting, and I don't trust your crisp related trivia because of it.

My local shop has literally just started selling Tayto crisps today! How weird is that.

And I'm in lurrrve! There is no other cheese n onion crisp.

See I have been Vindicated!

I remember the Disco crisps with the extra salt & vinegar flavouring pouch you could add- made you tongue feel like it was being melted!

Still not a patch on Tayto Cheese & Onion though [/b]

Antother Victory...

Arghhhhhh!

I should have made more demands!....


How about everyone give me £10????

Anyone tried the new walkers Cheddar Cheese flavour crisps?

They're YUM!

Also i had a flavour i hadn't tried in a long time. Brannigans Roast beef and Mustard now i'd forgotten how tasty they were.

The Smiths brand was still in use, until very recently, on 'Frazzles', I noticed that it still had the 'Smiths' logo on them, but then, at the vending machines, i noticed that it had been replaced with the 'Walkers' logo.

Doesn't worry me now—I don't have MSG anymore .

Another thread totally buggered by Mr Fruity.

What the hell's that thing between the "w" and the "I"?

Throws my screen a mile and a half off to the right.

I went to my corner shop the other day and asked for some helicopter flavour crips... he said "sorry, we only do plane".

Did you get a paper hat and whistle in that cracker as well?
