Roysters Crisps: I wonder how many people remember "Roysters, the American style crisp"? These were launched with a television advertising campaign, which omitted to mention the way in which these 'crisps' are made. If the advert had mentioned the facts, sales of the American-style snack would have plummeted. Luckily, the product seems to have been withdrawn, and the threat to you, the public, has apparently been swept under the corporate carpet (however, I now have my doubts about Brannigan's). Those of you who have ever suffered a bad scald from hot water will know of the large blister, containing an unpleasant fluid, which forms shortly afterwards. These blisters, which were inflicted upon workers in terrible sweat-shop style warehouses, when removed and deep fried until golden brown formed Roysters. This painful process demanded high material costs, which is why Roysters could fetch anything up to 28p a packet - and you don't get many scald blisters to a packet, either. But where, I ask you to consider, is the production facility now? A disturbing thought.
