    I remember them but can't remember the name I'm afraid. patrick, Sam Spudz had a guy dressed like a detective on the packet. I loved their smoky bacon crisps.

    Anyone remember Captain Crisps? They had a watered-down Judge dredd like guy on the packet. I remember saving up something like 40 bags to send off for a poster. No idea why, I never put it up.

    Off topic but has anyone noticed a change in the taste of cheese and onion Frisps. I loved them when they first came out, had a pack recently and they taste different.
