Desperate Trading

[Canary42]

I don't know how long they've been around but I only spotted some during today's shopping expedition :-

 

Walkers Cheese and Lineker crisps.

 

You couldn't make it up - probably tasteless LOL

[Tilly2]

I think that's  really clever and amusing.

I am easily pleased.

Methinks you've got confused!

The 'Lineker' crisps are 'Salt & Lineker' (not 'Cheese & Lineker') because 'Lineker' sounds a bit like 'vinegar'.

There are 5 different designs, with this being one of them:

The promotion pays tribute to Walker's similar 1999 advertising campaign, featuring 5 pack designs for 'Cheese & Owen' crisps:

Yes, my bad, it was salt and lineker.

Perhaps just an effort to encourage traffic on another quiet day?

Any old rubbish will do, apparently.

To be fair, I still call them salt and Linekar and cheese and Owen. Occasionally I'll have smokey Beckham 😊

I've not seen them either, last century or this, but if they're only sold in multipacks the individual packs may not show up on Tesco shelves.

[Canary42]

These were individual packs on Sainsbury's shelves.

ah, I haven't been to Sainsbury's for a few weeks, I'll look them up when I'm there next.
