I miss OXO crisps
An early example of “Hedgehog Flavoured Crisps” there - the brand was withdrawn from sale in 1982 when the Office of Fair Trading alleged a breach of the Trade Descriptions Act 1968 as the product was flavoured with pork fat and herbs and contained no actual hedgehog - the product was remade with specified ingredients and rebranded as “Hedgehog Flavour Crisps”.
Each packet sold meant 1p donated to the hedgehog conservation charity called Tiggywinkles, which benefited hugely from the deal …

The girls at my school had a craze for shrinking crisp packets by carefully exposing them to a naked flame, probably the gas hob.

Quite creative in a way.
