I remember buying Oxo crisps back in the late 60s and loved them. Does anyone else remember them?

Oh yes!

Ooooo, I do, they were lovely

Me too! Much nicer than the beefy ones you get now.

Greyduster Fri 04-Nov-22 13:00:09

They were kind of ‘exotic’ then, as crisps went, weren’t they?😁

Kateykrunch Fri 04-Nov-22 13:51:08

Oh no, now the crisps are calling to me from the cupboard!

No, not Oxo flavour but my all time favourite was Seabrooks Tomato Sauce flavour - can't get those now either unfortunately.

Anyone remember Hedgehog crisps (not made out of hedgehogs, but the brand name)? My favourites, but long gone sad

Oh I thought this was going to be a post saying they are back, they were lovely as were Bovril.

I loved them.

I remember that taste, even today and have always wondered why they stopped selling them. They were so popular with the kids in school. Wish they would bring them back. A taste of the past in a bag.

They sell marmite crisps which are similar

The strange thing is that I am sure I saw them the other day. It might have been the Co-Op. I will investigate further 🤔

I can still remember that gorgeous beefy, tangy taste. I do wish they would bring them back.x

Blossoming Wed 21-Dec-22 20:36:34

Yes, I remember. Plain crisps with an Oxo cube crumbled over them are good too.

Don't remember Oxo crisps I love Bovril and Marmite flavours. I didn't want to try hedgehog crisps they might have been Smith's not sure.

I loved Oxo crisps. I also remember Golden Wonder Smoky Bacon flavour I had a packet every day when the tea trolley came round at work in the late 60’s, they taste nothing like the smoky bacon these days.
I love Marmite flavour too. Can you still get Bovril crisps?

I loved Oxo crisps and the Bovril ones but my ultimate favourite was savoury vinegar.
