Back from the 80’s: a potato based miscellany of nostalgic crisp packet designs

 

 

No my hoarding isn’t that bad really. These were actually dutifully collected and bound in an album for my Brownie Guide Collectors Badge, 1987. But, rediscovering them the other day in my dad's attic, we found they make for an amazing trip down design memory lane.

 

Our personal favourite is this Walkers French Fries pack, complete with free AGFA C90 Audio tape. I mean, can you imagine a time when getting a crap blank tape free with your lunchbox was exciting?

 

 

Ashamedly, there are about thirty three others in the collection. See the whole collection here (sorry, there is no direct link to them but you just click on the crisps icon and away you go).

Sounds like a great Brownie project - although eating 33 packets of crisps in a short period sounds dangerous.

yes, the irony is i never ate any of them. I had the appetite of a tiny bird as a child. Instead, I vaguely remember going up to friends at lunch and asking them for their empty crisp packets. it was a great ice-breaker.
