WTFBBQ, can you still buy these? I've been to a zillion shops lately trying to find them but I get shafted with Smiths everywhere.

samboy salt and vinigar rocked!

also red rock deli are artsy tpye chips and most stoners like them for their obscure flavours (amirite)

redrock wins.

steak and black pepper

however, bbq samboy does have its place as a XXXX companion.

Man, I didn't think Samboy were around anymore. Always thought Smiths bought them out but it looks like I am mistaken, about a great many things. I haven't seen Samboy chips around since I was at school, but I'm not a chip fan so what would I know.

Trog, SAMBOY (now there's a politically incorrect name such that it could be attributed to Enid Blyton) aren't what they were in days of yore. Never have been since APD took them over more than 30 years ago.

You really must try RED ROCK. Forget perceptions of Toorak Crisps and Red Rocks target niche promo. They simply are a cut above and worth every penny of the asking price. NOTHING compares. Plain salted or Soy Chicken are the clichéd "to die for".

Red rock is best. There is only one or two flavours that they make that I don't like due to amount of salt but generally they are very nice.

who are you kidding...

We used to shrink the packets of chips themselves.

Around 81/82 it was cool to have shrunken chip packets as bling.

I had previously sampled the lime and pepper red rock deli chips, however, today I decided it was time for the roast beef and pepper.

I must say I wasnt dissapointed. I cant find the lime and pepper chips these days, my local 7/11 and servo both are without this flavor :(

Err no it wasn't... they had explicit warnings on the packaging suggesting that it was only suitable for persons over a certain age...

Also, the packets themselves were originally constructed from a plastic which was a thermoplastic, meaning it could be reshaped when exposed to heat.

arnotts changed the brand from samboys to tasty jacks because noone was buying samboy and everyone was buying smiths. that is the story behind it. wow

Yes, I agree, ligten up f***head.

Did Kat say dangerous fun for people under a certain age? No?

You are pretty old, yet I wouldn't leave you in the same room as a bag of chips and a microwave oven. Unless the bag of chips was big enough to you to fit over your head so you could suffocate....or it was an exploding microwave.

even though facebook groups are lame and spamming links to them is generally discouraged, I'll tolerate this in the interests of ensuring BBQ Samboys end up being more available on shelves

Red Rock are the best.

Samboy and Smiths are for peasants.

I remember when you could put the packets in the oven and theyd shrink, i think it was about the time this thread was started.
