[Archived] Roads closed after large fire at disused warehouse in Miles Platting

[Jim J]

I'm a big crisp fan, my top 5:

1 Walkers Max - Chargrilled steak flavour

2 Dorrito's - Chilli Heatwave

3 Monster munch - Roast beef

4 Space raiders - Pickled onion

5 Disco's - Cheese & Onion

and if we are going for the butty choice, its got to be tuna mayo with salt & vinegar square crisps, its a taste sensation!!!

[Beta Ray Bill]

You've made them up.

How very dare you?!

Fangs you could actually pretend were fangs by sticking into your teeth, they were extremely convincing....

Claws were slightly less puffed up and were like little boney hands.

You young uns missed out on a lot.

[Ozz]

Perhaps this should be split from original topic, not for the issue of going off topic, just that it may attract more participation if titled " King of Crisps" or some such?

Anyhow, what about fangs and bones? Puffed up corn type snacks with a horror bent. Joined later by bats and claws iirc.

Can't remember the favours. Were they fangs = tomato, bones= salt and vinegar, bats=beef and claws=onion?

Anyone remember Rishy crisps from Great Harrod? Ok but not the best if I remember rightly.

I thought these were long gone, but the other week I went into the petrol station shop on the way to work and there was a whole box of them on the floor. Still only 10p, now cheaper than Space Raiders! Not the best crisps but was always worth 10p.

I remember some from Rishton / Harwood that were puff style with a green rabbit on the packet, is that them?

[colin]

Has the fire gone out yet? I only ask as I've only recently got over my salt 'n' vinegar addiction (too much salt- bad for the blood perssure.) I really need to know.

[Blue n White Rover]

Wow, if only I was old enough to enjoy them when they were that size.

For the budget crisp eater amongst us, these were a personal favourite in my school days -

10p...couldn't really go wrong!

Brannigan's Roast Beef & Mustard used to be amazing, but I can't find them any more. The internet suggests they still exist though.

who remembers the uproar of hedgehog crisps?

They were too flat for my liking.

Worst flavour was a prestige bag from I think M&S. "Baked potato". Thought it was strange to have a potato flavoured of a potato, but it was basically a crisp that tasted of butter.

Absolutely horrid.

They were indeed excellent crisps, plenty of mustard poweder on them

EARLY Stalwart-Salt And Shake. De rigeur abandoned kid outside pub whilst parents get drunk inside pacifier. Usually accompanied by a curvy glass bottle of Coca Cola with bobbing straw in.

and to complete the set:

and something I didn;t remember, ribs...

And an advert for Bats!

Proper scratchings, not pork flavoured quavers

Aye there about the best you can buy from the shop, I used to get some from the butchers big hary beggars full of seasoning, fantastic stuff until they stopped doing them, same goes for the bbq mini cheddars I loved them and now they are getting a bit harder to find.

Also I remember munching on meanies in my school breaks, green packet and a really strong pickled onion flavour.

[Hannah]

Can't believe no one has mentioned mccoys particularly the flaming steak ones!

Didn't we have a thread about a large fire a few years ago? No doubt this will have been lit for the same reason and the same end result. Business rates are crippling for owners of empty properties.

No doubt Colin will be able to keep us posted of any future developments.

Did they not bring out some curry flavour crisps,

they were awesome at the time,

Kenyons?

Now that ring's a bell abbey! I got all sorts of flak for forecasting that it was most likely an insurance scam and the site would end up with another large mosque sitting on it. In the interests of accuracy can anybody who lives near Leamington Rd please enlighten us to what exactly did happen on the site after the fire?

Without appearing too snidey I'm quite sure Colin will be able to recall it.

[colin]

Yes I do.

[Cheeky Sidders]

The Bones variety of Horror Bags were great but the others were rubbish. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Ringos though. They kicked ass!

[thenodrog]

Yes I do.

Then you'll also know that as expected I was right and you were wrong. Don't worry though Colin, it happens all the time.

[colin]

No worries matey, you obviously know all about the Miles Platting fire too, and how it was set by Islamic fundamentalists.

Did you know that they have also put sarin in Thirlmere?

Bye

Really? Bit harsh but imo it serves the buggher right for trying to buy us when he's potless.
