I want to know what happened to the cheeseburger flavoured crisps you could get in the Eighties? Quarterbacks possibly.

And why are grab bags called grab bags? They're just big bags so why doesn't it just say Big Bag of Crisps on the packet? I imagine if you're fat you might grab at these more than smaller packets? Is this the reason?

exactly what i thought yesterday, went into the garage and wanted a bag of dorito's, all they had were GRAB bags.
what does it mean?

Because the focus group that the vastly over paid Walker's marketing department took it to, deemed "big" bag boring.

I wish companies were more honest.
"GRAB BAG" Really? They should be called "FATTY BAGS" or "MAXIMISING PROFIT BY LIMITING CHOICE" bags

i can't be doing with these posh crisps with ridiculous flavours either
there's only need for about 7 flavours of crisps (brannigans and mccoys are immune from criticism)

Back in the late seventies early eighties there were these things like really thin wheat crunchies, tubes of some description.
If anyone can remember what they were or even if you can get anything like them now I would be very happy.

Steady on there turi.
I'll take a bag of Jalapeno crisps, with my pint, over any of your old skool 7 flavours, ANY day.
