Galaxy counters in a little packet, those blackjacks -youre teeth would turn black when you ate them! I remember Ringo s and Ranchero s -yum! we had a choice of either Smiths crips from the chippy, or Golden Wonder from our little corner shop. The golden Wonder had like 'little windows' in the front of the packet where you could see the crisps in the packet. I used to go through them in the box for the 'strongest' some of the smokey bacon ones would be bright orange with flavour!
Remember the Smith's "Salt & Shake" crisps, with the little blue salt bag?
And was it the Smiths or Golden Wonder packets which always had a little Scotsman(?) character on the back?? Think he was a Scotsman as he always sported a highland bobble cap.
Weird the things that stick in the memory, isn't it?

When some of us were kids, all they had was plain crisps with a little bag of salt. Sometimes you got more than one bag of salt and we thought it was good. In reality we probably got less crisps!
My aunt and uncle once owned the shop by the baths. The small kiosk inside the baths used to do soup which was our favourite. Probably a tanner but maybe less? Memory going!
Wonder if they sold those crisps at the cinema? You could probably have choked to death on one of those salt bags if you were eating them in the dark!
Thanks for confirming my memory about the kiosk. It's nice to know I've not gone completely do-lally. Think I liked the hot Bovril more than soup though...
Sherbit pips, Aztec bars, dipped flakes, an gettin beechnut chewies from the big machines on the wall outside the shop!
If the arrow on the knob was pointing towards you, you got two packets of chewy for the price of one. There was another one as well as beechnut but can't remember the name.
Mt dad always had a packet in his jacket pocket, there was beechnut and my dad's favourite was PK...he used to tell me it was made specially for him, becuase his intials were PK...hahaa
