OMG. Is my childhood being demolished? What will we do without Nik Naks?

 

[Damini]

Kenny's already demanded that I go out and stockpile nik naks. Someone will buy them out though, and nik naks will live on.

 

[Dommers]

Nik-naks Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[haarewin]

they sold wotsits to walkers ages back, they were bound to go down the pan after that.

 

[JBP|]

Lets face it, Walkers will take what they want and the remainder will be sold off on the cheap to Shanghai Potatoe Products.

 

[Chilly]

long as nik naks live on, all will be well.

 

[Draylor]

I wouldnt dare disrespect the NikNaks - but no panic over the possible loss of Wheat Crunchies?

Disgraceful, Im disappointed in you all!

 

[tris-]

i laughed at this earlier.

then i wonderd - did they still make wheat crunchies or did they sell that to someone else?

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

 

[Wij]

Quavers are crap now :/

 

[Chilly]

shit yeah, wheat crunchies! I lived off those throughout A level pretty much.

 

[tris-]

who controls the wheat crunchies then?
was it them or did someone buy them off them?

 

[Draylor]

BBC link suggests GW still own the brand.

 

[Ch3tan]

Somone needs to buy niknaks and wheat crunchies, and then bring back Scampi and Lemon niknaks to us all!

 

[Tom]

Does anybody remember 'Whickers' crisps, shaped like whicker baskets? I think they were around in the early-mid 80's. They had a TV advert as well, I seem to remember it being about the middle-ages royalty or something.

They brought them back a couple of years back, you've been able to buy them for ages

 

[Moo]

[Ch3tan]

No fucker stocks them!

 

[dysfunction]

Just import nik nax from South Africa instead...and the benefit is they taste better.

Still GW.
I'm going to start buying in Wheat Crunchies in bulk. :<

 

[Damini]

Hrm... I'm thinking buy scampi and lemon nik naks from my corner shop... hold onto them until nowhere else sells them or can get hold of them anymore... then put them on ebay for extortionate prices and bombard Chet with the link.

 

[Gat_Decor]

I worked for Golden Wonder for 10 years, 7 or 8 years ago, never understood why they sold off Pot Noodles and after i left they sold off Wotsits too

Nik Naks and Wheat Crunchies were developed by a company Golden Wonder bought (Sooner Foods/Snacks) who originally made Riley's Crisps from the Factory in Scunthorpe, bit of useless information for you!

.... and then when people have paid for them and you are ready to send them, you find 500 nik nak packets stuffed with Kenneh's socks!

 

[nath]

Or you could sell them as "Genuine original Nik-Nak packet". Then send them just that.

 

[Jupitus]

Or you could sell them as "Genuine original Nik-Nak packet with authentic cheesy smell". Then send them just that.

Fixed

This has got me thinking.

There are loads of places to buy booze and sweets online, but I don't know of a single place that specializes in crisps and snacks.

Is there anywhere that people know of?

(really I shouldn't ask, I'm a crisp fiend and if I had a limitless supply to my door we'd soon see the south of England sink)

 

[Ch3tan]

Damn you and your evil schemes to rob me of cash damini!
