    i can remember even further back than that, i used to get a little blue bag in every pack of smiths crisps i ate. Only ever contained salt, though ........ :(

    Free heart disease with every pack!

    Ah, but you forget, in those days there was no such thing as videos games or computers, we would spend all day from dawn till dusk playing out in the fields, making dens, cycling for miles, scavenging blackberries for lunch, only returning home when it started to get dark ......

    What's the saying ? "May be eaten as part of a healthy lifestyle", or something like that ?

    Either that or "Eat less than six grams of salt a day".

    Ah the good old days ... definitely something to be said for them.

    I've won 3 fivers in bags of crisps and a few packets of free ones over the years. We won about £80 on the Walkers 'predict when it will rain' promotion. Living in Manchester it's pretty easy to predict that it will rain almost every day from mid-september until the end of August :D

    Bearing in mind it's a random generator using certain (Daily Mail) key words I like this headline it gave me.

    I got loads of the "free packet worth 21p? 27p?" can't remember how much but it was in the mid/late 90's when i was at school but i always remember the shop round the corner from my house charged more for their walkers crisps and wouldnt accept the vouchers! half of their stuff was multipack stuff anyway, greedy gits they were now that i look back.

    But other than that, i have never won any instant money from anything nor from anything through texting or codes.
