Nostalgia? Greed? Dunno, just tastes better imo.

Been keeping an eye open for them ever since saw them on www.snackspot.org.uk weeks ago but have never seen them in Tesco's

Oh, you Brits... you don't know how lucky you are. Try living here in Sweden, snuggled up close to the arctic circle, and you'll recognise true poverty...
This autumn, one of the two dominant crisp manufacturers decided to re-introduce salt & vinegar crisps. We've been deprived of this necessity of life for more than a decade, getting by on imported packs of Walkers in selected pubs every now and then.
And here you are, flaunting your sizzling chili beef, chicken tikka or bacon fries crisps. It makes me salivate uncontrollably. We don't get anything like that here. As I said, count yourselves lucky.
The best I've had all year are these imported "jungle chili plantain chips", some sort of quasi-organic-posh-crisp-thingy: http://www.mexgrocer.com/32697-00021.html
Fantastic stuff. All the savouryness of regular crisps, a fair amount of chili heat, and a hint of sweetness from the plantains. Truly addictive, but unfortunately the local store no longer sells them.

Why is it every quality snack I discover (usually in Tesco) gets discontinued either by the supermarkets or by the manufacturer about three months after I get seriously into them?
The latest victim for Tesco "no stockage" are Dormen's Spiced Nut and Satay Bean Mix. True quality.
If anyone knows where I can get some in time for the Xmas snack-fests, please speak up now!

Is it true that Heroes no longer include Chrunchies? This is horrible news if so!
