denlin Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 When I was at school in the 1960's Walkers used to make Oxo flavoured crisps - they were excellent. Walls ice cream used to make an ice cream similar to a cornetto but it was on a plastic stick and inside the ice cream attached to the stick were chess pieces.

Plain Talker Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Pint (500ml?) cans of Coca-Cola. Yes these really did exist at some point - 80s I think. Surely someone else can remember them? You could also get 500 ml cans of lager shandy, bitter shandy and dandelion and burdock from (I think) Barrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure that Walkers crisps were on sale in the 60's. I might be wrong and sorry if I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong and sorry if I am.Walkers began to make crisps in 1948 according to the company history, but at first they were distributed only in the area around their Leicester base, and they only became a market leader from about the 1980s onwards.

denlin Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I can assure you that Walkers crisps were definitely on sale in Sheffield when I was at Ecclesfield Grammar School because they used to sell them in the tuck shop. I left school in 1966. My husband also remembers them and he is the same age as me:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
