Does anyone know if you can buy Lime Crisps in Sheffield? (or even the UK?)

I had some in Mexico last week and have only bought a limited supply back!

You can get lime flavoured dipping chips... Dorritos do them and Morrisons do their own brand... Mmm yummy...

There's a lot of talk about crisps on this forum tonight and it's making me hungry!

Ta, but they are not those tortilla dipping crisps, they are regular 'uns like Walkers, but called Sabritas (the logo is very similar).

www.papassabritas.com.mx is a snazzy site but no distribution info...

They sound great. I like lime-flavoured stuff. I bet they are an offshoot of Lays.

Are they lime-pickleish or milder?

'Sabrita' means something like: bursting little bit of flavour.

might help u track down sabritas products [owned by pepsico] - perhaps u could get some from USA if u know some one there. Apparently there are lime flavored peanuts by sabritas - sounds nice to me !

Went to the cybercandy shop today in covent garden [see www.cybercandy.co.uk] and got diet coke with lime - mmmm :P

Lime must be the in-thing at the moment or sommat ? :thumbsup:

Just 100% tangy lime.

Bit like having a Tequila slammer... but without the Tequila... (i mean the are salty)

And thanks Trappa - I'll have a look at those links.

I wouldn't eat crisps (any sort even if you paid me, ) I hate the things, it seems to be a modern phenomenum. People take them to work for their lunch etc. and sit munching away in the Peace Gardens with a silly expression on their fat faces, what a sight!!!

So that's where you've been for the past six months :roll:

Couldn't you send us a post from there?

And more importantly, did you buy me a gift ?

PS - oh yes, er, welcome back :blush:

Aww at least someone noticed my absence! Ta luv!

Gifts... actually i did bring a kilo of copal back so you can have a lump. Apparently it gets rid of evil spirits when you burn it - I wonder if it will work on to20?! :loopy: Or are we passed that now? If so is there a new forum devil?:evil:
