useless Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I don't think they're specifically aimed at children, they just happen to be bear shaped, although I guess they'd be more suitable for toddlers as opposed to regular walkers crisps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried the 'bacon twins' variant, only available in Spain or they were I think and of Germanic origin Edited June 9, 2020 by Follyfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 The only ones I've tried are the ones in the red packet, haven't had them in a while, don't get crisps too often, just remember the few times that I've had pom-bears I've really liked them.

Now people are talking about lime, coriander, bacon and paprika and I'm longer in control of this situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’re talking “standard flavours” then I’d say 1. Barbecue 2. smoky bacon 3. Paprika If you open it up to any flavour ever like all the gourmet stuff then it’s a whole other ball game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Brannigan's beef & english mustard are the best, but it has to be one of the packs which has been dusted more than regular bags to get maximum nose burn. I haven't had a packet since I moved house 4 years ago, but I still keep an eye out in local stores.. alas.. I feel as though I shall never again taste them I like those jalapeno max strong crisps, they're the only "hot" crisp which is actually thing like hot. Beef monster munch are good Doritos (if dusted to excess) are good Beef hula hoops are good McCoys are decent Roysters Beef are excellent Chicken flavoured crisps are always good Chicken and thyme sensations are amazing too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Perhaps one for the gastronomic perversions thread, I once knew someone who would eat hula hoops by chewing one up in their mouth, spitting the mulch back out into the middle of a fresh hula hoop then eating them together. They claimed the texture clash improved the experience. Out of morbid curiosity, I tried it once. I wouldn't recommend it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Has the habit stuck though? I don't know at what age my former colleague started practicing it, but she was still doing it into her late teens/early 20s when I met her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Surely everyone puts hula hoops on each finger and bites them off individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been able to get a hula hoop on my sausage fingers since I was about 9. I still try every time though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
