Whatever happened to.....

whatever happened to free stuff in your crisps?

Pogs and tazos when i was a kid, feeling the packets in the co-op to make sure you got one in it.

And free stuff down the bottom of the cornflake box. There was some fantastic stuff to be found down there, my favourite being a cardboard cut-out Transformers kit.

Thinking about it, not the best idea, having a grubby 7 year old shoving his grubby 7-year old hands right through a box of cornflakes to get the toy out. Urgh.

My youth has come flooding back reading this threat, a couple of my own, anyone remember the lad who would walk a round the streets on a Sunday pushing a blue walls ice cream cart, Jimmy Clitheroe on the radio on a Sundays and soda syphons on the bar of your local no charge.

Choice of crisps. When I was a kid you had a load of brands in the shop like KP, smiths, seabrook, walkers, phi leas fogg, and then a load of cheap but sometimes nice ones. Now everybody has been bought out by walkers and there is no variety in flavours. You'd get 5 different cheese and onion crisps, all of which were quite different tasting and had varying amounts of flavour, but now cheese and onion is just cheese and onion, a uniform flavour because it's the same stuff from the same manufacturer but shaped differently and packaged differently to create the illusion of choice.
