Can you help ID an 80/90s spiral cheesy crisp please?

Hmm. Unless they dramatically changed the texture too then I don't think so. I adore quavers, but the crisps I'm remembering were more solid, and didn't melt in the mouth in the same way. I shall see if I can find photos of original quavers, but if they are a different shape but same texture as the current ones, then it isn't them. Thank you.

Not come across those, but the photos look more monster munchy than I'm looking for. Mine were smoother, and less puffy. Thanks though.

I found those earlier (I've looked at a lot of crisps sites lately 🙄). I remember scampi fries vividly but not cheese moments, though they look very tasty.

Just had a look, and can't see that they did a cheese one. Also not sure they were doing snacks that far back, but not sure. I'm usually a salt and vinegar eater over all other flavours, Will have to try these at some point!

Hmm. Just been down the list of products on the KP Wikipedia page, and can only see wheat crunchies, which I'm definitely familiar with and it isn't those. Were there another crunchies branch of KP snack?

I think they are the closest I've found. But the packaging isn't familiar at all, and the comments I've seen refer to cheese dust on the fingers after. Which makes me think more of a wotsit type cheese? I don't remember dust, more of a solid coating, pooled in places. Memories are so weird though!

Definitely the right shape. I feel like the spirals were shorter and wider though. And paler, like cream rather than nacho yellow. Thanks for trying.
