I remember Smiths Crisps ... sometimes it was a sonofabitch to get at the salt ... but a great, and simple common-sense way of allowing someone to control the salt content. Altho', after a skinful ... and chips/crisps are still a great pub snack ... who gives a rat's ass about eating healthy.

Yes it was Smith's. I had some recently - because the bag's plastic rather than paper all the salt stuck to the bag rather than the crisps because of static electricity... and the crisps were so thin you could almost see through them.

Eric of course I did it on purpose - I hope I'm not an accidental metaphor-mixer!

Re: Rishy Crisps
Back then all the crisps had the little blue twist of paper with the salt in that you could never find in the bottom of the packet. I think it was either Smiths or Golden Wonder who launched the new invention of "Ready Salted" crisps early to mid 60's at a guess.
