I think about 1990 perhaps? I remember getting tayto for 8p back in the early 80’s.
Around 1992/93 would be my guess.
1987 or thereabouts…I remember my granny would sometimes give me 20p and the dilemma you’d have in choosing what to buy!
89-92
Check the best before date
Could be early 80’s possibly??
Not sure of the year but I’ll tell you what, Mr. Tayto hasn’t aged a day……….
Does it say how many grams of crisps on it?
I’d be curious how much larger or smaller packets are today.
I was in a shop the other day and there was a bag of what I would have called penny sweets for €1.99. It was what I would have paid 10p for back in the day.

https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/flashback-to-prices-on-tayto-packs-1.450941 I would say mid 90s as early 90s were 14p
Oh no! I’m losing my touch! Maybe 95 so?
Not that old. We used to find 2d packets in the bushes in the 70s.
That should be in a museum
92. And you’ve got a little fleck of coke left in the bottom right quarter. Don’t be wasteful.
The price is definitely early 90s.
Around 1990-92 I’m pretty sure.
Late 80s, early 90s. I can remember when tayto were 19p that would of been about 1995.
Late 80s if my old memory serves me correct then uproar when they became 15 pence lol
The year? It’s 2025
15p lol some good prices back then .
I think maybe around 1990-1991 I vaguely recall then going up to 17p a few years before I started secondary.
I’m going to guess late 1900s.
Definitely mid 80s
They used to be 12p up until about 1994. So they could anytime between 1995 and 2002 when we got the euro.
I would say sometime in the early-mid 90s.
