Saw an unearthed tree while hiking and this packet was stuck in the roots of it I was wondering how old these crisps could be? I've looked around online and I can't really find anything would appreciate some knowledge on these as they look very interesting

Probably the 70’s if this old thread about prices on Boards is to believed.

The cheapest I remember is 10p so this is probably late 70’s.
Count the rings on it.
Is there a best before date on the bag?
They used to be so delicious, what the hell did they take out of the recipe?
It was probably asbestos or something like that, but I want it put back in! They’re muck now
Back when they were lovely! Better shape, taste and texture.
1977
Crispy chips
Along time ago if they were 6p
Not arsed doing a currency conversion but 6p on 1977 should be equal to 38p now.. good luck finding a pack of snax for 38p equivalent
Were frosties 6p at the same time? I remember them being 10p, not sure you can still buy them
Could they be roughly dated by the Tayto logo…? I’m not Irish, so I’m not overly familiar with the number of incarnations the logo’s undergone, but if you find something similar online with the same logo, you’d get an idea…
That said, the orange and yellow scream ’70s.
Wow
Is there a best before date on it?
