I somehow doubt that Branigans could ever be thought of as "Artisan" - They are a KP/Intersnack brand for starters and were launched years before anything artisan ever troubled the food market.

So, a sharp knife and a deep fat fryer?

I use the term for any crisp that’s not your standard Walker’s/Golden Wonder/KP variety. When they were launched (early 90s?) they were certainly the poshest crisps I’d ever eaten and certainly the first to use the more florid flavour descriptions that seem standard for supposedly higher-end product. I don’t think “Artisan” really means much anyway as they’re all mass produced by big companies - unless people actually believe that a man with a big moustache and striped apron really stands over a wood-fired cauldron inspecting every last crisp

A mandolin is better, but a knife works. For things like courgettes a peeler works.So, a sharp knife and a deep fat fryer?

When our cat had her kittens, we stuck Pringles on their backs as little saddles and had pipe-cleaner jockeys for “Kitten Pringle Derby” - seemed like a good idea at the time and certainly better than eating them.

I think it might have been the late 1980s - but NE Scotland was very popular for test-marketing back then and we often saw products before other parts of the country. However they were certainly one of the very first of the kind.

Same in N.Ireland - I remember trying several chocolate bars that never even made it to the rest of the country
Btw. Do you remember the “Splicer” bar from the early 80s? It was a bit like several elongated Opal Fruits twisted together? I think that was one that didn’t take off as none of my English pals of a similar vintage have ever heard of it - but they all like the idea.

No but it is quite possible they tried it under a different name/brand image. Yorkies made a brief appearance under the name "Rations" with military branding!
The one that stands out is the Wispa - They ran the whole thing out of Aberdeen because our "isolated" media meant they could orchestrate the whole project without letting the rest of the country know, until it hit the shops. You couldn't hire a van here for love nor money because Cadbury had hired the lot. I believe it has gone down in marketing history as a near perfect example of its type!

Full of shit - snaps are great. Scampi fries far too low, should be inside top 10. And I like a Pringle as much as the next person but not at the cost of transform a snacks and space invaders.

It's all good, man
Whoever compiled that list is a complete tool. I'm not even going to start pointing out the obvious flaws but any list that doesn't have Walkers S&V squares in the top 3 (1st is best), isn't a list compiled by a sane person.
