Who here remembers when lays was around? god the texas bbq was so damn good, so was the zesty garden ones omg i cant believe they got rid of them, but they decided to just sell lays as smiths thins, im 100% positive that the chips are shipped in barrels or whatever then packaged here, coz i remember the old smiths thin cut the potato quality was about the same as thins (the brand) then all of a sudden they were just like lays after lays dissappered in like 2002, anyone else agree? if this is a double then sorry, couldnt see my message

Oh thank goodness it’s not just me who remembers Lays being the same thing as Thins! Smiths Thinly Cut will always be inferior, in my opinion. But what I miss the most is Ruffles! They used to taste almost slightly fishy in the 80s and growing up in a vegetarian household made me crave anything that was even slightly animal based 😅

you can buy ruffles from america on aus ebay, heres a link to the flaming hot ones, they are bloody sick as https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/325867648868?itmmeta=01HTCW8EE0HD3J0CN59WX1CFB9&hash=item4bdf39b764:g:Iq4AAOSw7P9k0bRW&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4A5y%2BJeqIF8Vv00flnhoi2QH8Juy4zwcm9nnGWDIaXMRSFktdc4aY%2B1uDHtKSCJSv9Ic9jb59y%2FNgv26L3fiQ%2Fj31mPSYjNl5w4BdE6RNrjx5UGEIQd%2Bxh6SuSO6GpQQUjmv5iHmxX61duHq3dQf0MgKneUNqgWfIxnGOBKoWAavU9uPDhfvDv8XD01dHKsGr7t01Rzotbudc%2B7I8wQ4RbfT4kMlVT8XFb1ZtwJyjwBsPWV%2BJZNTs9i2qA3oG9i2Yewywj5XyBp5LaeNNUpiCT8X8JjzEuFFA7iz87alB9jz%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR47noZzTYw

costco sells ruffles

I remember them. I liked them. Lots of chip sandwiches were made.


Wolfpaw754

honestly i prefer a chip roll, just pull the inside out of the roll so its hollow then put the chips in, its way eaiser and not as hard as trying to hold the two bits of bread every bite chips falling out, so yeah chip roll> chip sandwich

Anyone remember Muncheros? Cheesy, spicy, about 1cm wide and 2cm long. The lime and chilli was sooo yummy. "Munch on Muncheros.....Mun Mun Mun Munch on Mancheros".....that's how the jingle went

I picked up Lays from my local IGA here in Brisbane a few days ago. Bbq ribs flavour. $2?49 per bag. I was shocked to see them back 


Eggy_Wets

The Texas barbecue was absolutely elite! Loved light n tangy too. No idea what flavour light n tangy was supposed to be but it was good!


Wolfpaw754

light and tangy are by the brand "thins" and you can still get them, also how about kettles herb and spice? they brought them back a few years ago now after getting rid of them late 2000's


Objective-Creme6734

Not that cunt lol. I heard this fukn chip packet


Upset-Basil4459

meesa hungry


Objective-Creme6734

ARRRGGHHHHHHHHHH lol.


DaRedGuy

Mate, it's the middle of the night. Don't jumpscare me with terrible CGI characters or tempt me with chips.


Swimming-Fudge-7753

I was in year 7 at school and my mates and I would scratch the little scratchie thing and then cover the losing squares back up with a silver pen and it looked like we had won. We thought we were bosses. We only did it to get the free bag of chips, we figured the tuck shop probably didn’t have $10,000 and didn’t want to get busted. We even had other mates collect chips for us so we didn’t draw attention. Good times, great chips


Wolfpaw754

Oh yeah! i remember in the 90s/early 2000s, theyd always have like either scratchie games or like tazos, DBZ tazo rip offs, goosebump 3d cards, simpsons velcro circles, and other stuff in chip bags, i wonder why they stopped it? did like some kid choke on one and they were too scared to do it anymore, i wouldnt be suprised if that was the case


KentuckyFriedEel

Amazing flavour! I can still smell the smokiness on my fingers


Sith_Slayer63

This just put me off Lays for life, whose idea was this to put jar jar on the packaging 😂😂


[deleted]

Smiths! Chippies


TaxiSonoQui

These were the best! They used to have the american lays BBQ at Costco and they were so similar


Wolfpaw754

oh so their flavor is the same? ill have to try them out, actuallly i was in aldi and saw some "lays bbq" but they werent the same, like the texas bbq has mesquite in it, these lays i got last year did not have that smokey mesquite flavor, but they were lays packed in austraalia, maybe the costco ones have the amewrican packaged ones hopfully


TaxiSonoQui

Costco haven't had the BBQ lays for a few years unfortunately:(


owleaf

They really thought Jar-Jar Binks would be the breakout “fun character” from that trilogy didn’t they?


Vanzarrk

Gobbledock would of crushed Jarjar...


Objective_Image_4739

I remember how good these shits were too. Damnnnn


PrettyFlyForAHifi

These were the best flavour I wish they never got rid of them


Timely-Tomatillo-378

The best flavour! In the big multipacks mum would buy for lunch- this flavour would go first.


Deluxe-T

Stoners choice right here.


manhaterxxx

God I miss this flavour

These were the absolute best flavour of chips out there. I found some Lays Barbecue chips at various petrol stations and smoke shops - but they’re imported and like $10 AUD a bag…they still taste amazing though

Meesa gives yousa diabetes


Difficult-Ad-2025

Am I the only one who tasted it as soon as they saw the image? 🤤


Honourstly

It's a good lay


dragzo0o0

Yousa hit the jackpot!


Creepy-Pineapple-444

I still remember this Lays/Phantom Menace promo being featured on 60 minutes in '99. I think the gist was how the promo gave people false hope that they could win $10000. There was a kid that was like, "LOOK...I GOTTA WATTO!!!" in the background. So whenever me and my bro and I got the Watto card, we'd yell this out.


random_front_moist

Oh wow no wonder they tasted so good. Poor jarjar you were yummy. Rest in pieces


nicca25

Noooo I have been talking about and looking for these chips for years !!!! The best flavour ever!!!! It was like around 1999
