Just for fun, what could your favourite crisp flavour say about you?

Bacon
Let's face it, you are what you eat; a porker.

Cheese and Onion
Your humour is so bad you make people cry

Ready Salted
You're a bit plain, but down to earth.

Prawn Cocktail
You try to keep up with the Joneses, but it's all an act, you're really just a wannabe.

Salt and Lineker

My presentations are really wooden like Jim Bowen and I have big ears? :p

I've always loved Prawn Cocktail. :) Indiana Jones is my hero. It's why I took up archaeology.

They had a really delicious Honey Mustard Pringles here. Sadly it was just a limited edition.

When I was a kid, we use to get a little blue sachet of salt to sprinkle on our crisps. That's why they call it ready salted now.

I remember them, called Salt n Shake were not? I'm pretty sure they branched out to some flavouring sachets at one point but can't remember what flavours they did.

They still do those salt and shake crisps from time to time. At least, I'm sure I saw them around.

Any more flavours from anyone?

How about...

Jalapeño Nachos
You're a spicy one, no-one can say you're a square, more of an isosceles triangle in fact. You have a raging fire in your heart, but unfortunately, as soon as you manage to get close to anyone, they smell the breath...

"Salt 'n' Shake" were relaunched by Walkers in 2003 and called Salt&Shake! These were the original - Smiths Crisps - the one's I remember:

Smith's Crisps with salt bag

The Smiths Crisps version was still going well into the 80's. I used to have them for school lunches in the early 80's (1981/1982ish).

Here's a 1978 ad

When I was a kid, we use to have a guy deliver milk to our house every morning. And when we wanted to call someone, we actually had to dial the number on a rotary dial on our bakelite phone. Buttons we're invented back then. We even used a dial to change the channel on the tv.

@pb, nice find. I love watching old adverts.

I had a pack of beef Monster Munch this past weekend, still my favourite crisps of all time.

Closely followed by Nice 'n' Spicy Nik-Naks.

The name you were looking for is ... 'milkman' and they still exist!

So ... you were born just after the war ... between 1946 and 1952 then?

I just give up :¬)
