One good thing about living in the UK is that they have brought back the perennial favourite crisp (or chips if Antipodean), 'Monster Munch'. As a kid, I absolutely loved these yummy delivery mechanisms of salty goodness.
Anyway, I seem to recall that some of these flavours may not have been available in New Zealand, but there were a few others such as Bacon as well as Cheese and Onion. I really had to go to a lot of trouble to get hold of the Roast Beef flavour over here - while all the shops seem to stock Pickled Onion and Flamin' Hot, Roast Beef is a little harder to come by (oddly enough, it was in Bristol that I found it). Oddly enough, they actually do taste like the flavours they are emulating! Isn't food technology amazing? Until it gives us cancer I suppose.
There were also number of TV adverts which may stir some memories?

Huh! I vaguely recall having some sort of Monster Munch board game at one point.
I recall these monster munches... but nothing in particular about them, other than, yeah, I remember...
I'm pleased to read something from you again after so long. Hope next item will appear soon.

Were they the ones shaped like monster hands??? I loved those esp salt and vinegar - might have been something different but I wish they still made them!
Yep, these are shaped like monster hands. I also recall the Pac Man chips as well :-)
Is this where I order the sossages?
Oh those were so good! I used to put them on my puny child's fingers like rings and eat the 'toes' and 'fingers' off.
I think we all did that Web Clam. Of course, I didn't think that clams had fingers!
Oh - and this is NOT where you order the sossages.
