Discontinued crisp brands/flavours

Post by Currywurst and Chips »

There’s been a trend in recent years of decent niche crisps getting discontinued

Any classics I’m missing? I fear for Walkers Marmite, Smiths Scampi Fries and the entire Golden Wonder Range.

Walkers

Worcestershire sauce quietly retired in 2021

Beef and Onion (less of a loss but surely better than smoky bacon)

Brannigans

Entire range binned in 2020, Roast beef and mustard was elite, special mention smoked ham and pickle.

Smiths

Cheese Moments, pub classic, removed in 2020

Didn’t realise Brannigans were gone, they were a treat.

If this was people’s favourite chocolate there would be more of a pushback

Agreed. Was brought back by Walkers with the Smith's logo but vanished a few years back.

Hedgehog flavour. Discontinued in 1982 because there was no hedgehog in them.

The Walkers salt and shake brand is still available in supermarkets but becoming harder to find

Marks and Spencer Truffle flavoured crisps were very nice. I only had them when we went to sister in laws, so for all I know you can still get them, but I didn't see any when I went in M&S the other day.

Top crisp

They still do the the truffle and olive oil large bags thankfully at the larger M&S, I buy them when I can as they’re damn good

I come from a scummy underclass background and I like posh crisps
My wife comes from a middle class background and likes hula hoops and wotsits

Explain that, boffins

Smiths Bovril crisps were the best ever!
Marmite are nice, but not the same.

Red Leicester Cheddars are very nice.

But apart from the blue salt bag, nothing beats Cheese & Onion IMO, not even pringles Sour Cream & Onion.
