Found at the bottom of the garden today.

  1. What if all the other ones have already decayed and this is just some freak of manufacture?

  2. to be fair the 16th of December 1995 is only the best before date
    might be some crumbs left

  3. In the 90s when my parents went to a pub in a nearby village and left me us play in the surrounding area, I used to climb over a wall into a patch of woodland where I had found a mud-covered faded salt & vinegar crisp packet from the 1970s. I always would check on it as if it was some kind of major archaeological discovery.

    I wonder if it’s still there.

  4. Weren’t they supposedly bringing in a recycling scheme for crisp packets

  5. The newer metallised packets take even longer, the estimate is 75-80 years.

  6. When I was about 8, I completed a small quiz on the back of a bag of these old school space raiders. It wasn’t actually a competition, just a little time killer question for kids, but I thought it was! So I sent the pack with my answers to KP Crisps at their customer service address.

    Two weeks later I get a big envelope from KP. They sent me a personalised letter congratulating me on getting the questions right along with loads of fun info leaflets and comics about how crisps are made. It was really lovely of them and I was proper stoked haha.

    Sadly it got misplaced and lost during a house move 🙁

  7. Hopefully that issue of Razzle I discarded in the hedges around 2004 has now completed faded and been reduced to illegible scraps by the elements, so with no physical proof of it it’ll be like I never owned a copy at all
