    US ones are probably twice as unhealthy for you, though.

    Also Crispy Noodles, yes! Why are they not around anymore?

    Remember Tab Clear from...about 1992 I suppose. Was working on a building site at Stockton Heath.

    Around where I am, it's really hard to come across Brannigan's Crisps anymore. I bloody love them, especially the roast beef and mustard flavour, but they're almost nowhere to be found anymore.

    Vesta Crispy Noodles...

    Was in Asda a while back (I'm not proud of it) and found Vesta Chow Mein, which includes some DIY crispy noodles.
    I'm sure the only natural ingredient in the whole thing was the water I added, but god it tasted good!

    Snacks and pudding for breakfast can do one. Get some salty porridge in you.

    Pretty sure stuff like that was banned as those sweets had some very questionable ties with the tobacco industry.

    I can only seem to find Beef and Mustard Brannigans. They are delicious though, proper mustard warmth.

    The thing I miss was the Vodka Mudshake things I used to drink in Newcastle. Haven't seen them for years. Pretty much alcoholic milkshake that got you drunk without even realising it.

    current brannigans flavours here are the beef & mustard, ham & pickle and lamb & mint....no sign of my beloved lincolnshire sausage flavour from the early 90s, though....:(

    I used to like Pot Rice and especially; lamb flavour Pot Casserole

    Showing my age even more...

    When Pot Noodles first came out there was a cheese and tomato flavour one...nothing has ever topped them. Not even Toast Toppers ironically.
