Anyone Remember These Walkers crisps Packets?

Ask a Question

Does anyone remember when Walkers apparently gave away random ยฃ20 notes in some of their packets of crisps? And has anyone on here actually won? I used to buy loads of Walkers crisps during that time and never won a thing and never knew anyone who has. It was fun though and it would be great if they were to bring this back! ๐Ÿ˜€

I won in the 1995 one. Where you used to get a little ticket inside and it was usually a free bag of crisps. So u can imagine our surprise when my husband at the time opened one and said to me weโ€™ve won ยฃ1000, i thought he was winding me up but no it was the top prize. I was delighted, we had just put in new windows, so it went towards that. Safe to say I have never won anything else other than a raffle here and there.

I won ยฃ5 too M many years ago, i think thats what started me off on entering competitions , i also used to buy newspapers mainly just to enter theirs

It all paid off in the longrun, i have been quite successful at them up to now , some skills involved but mainly good luck and perseverence

RegularComper90 Lol we used to buy them in bulk, so I was bound to win something. It usually was only a free packet of crisps, I think. Was completed stunned when I found Iโ€™d won a fiver - after all that initial disappointment ๐Ÿ˜‚ persistence helps (just as well I love crisps)

My partner met me off the bus down our road where our shopping centre is because it was 10.30pm on 20/7/22 As we walked up the hill past the shops I found a folded ยฃ10 which we shared as there was no one in sight who could have dropped it..

On a walk in Northern Ireland's Bloody Bridge area,on holiday visiting family I found an Irish ยฃ20 a few years ago,there was only daughter,partner, his brother & I, Not one of us had dropped it so I looked on it as a bonus & treated my partner, daughter & myself to a day out in Belfast travelling by train from Portadown the following day!

I vaguely remember this. I really miss the disco flavour bombs and panda pops before they added a load of sweeteners to them. oh, and the pizza pringles and cheesestrings then there are the smokey bacon flavour ones. https://www.dailyfeed.co.uk/2016/09/15-bags-crisps-wish-make-comeback/

I have always wondered that. But perhaps you'd get some code printed on the inside of the packet informing you that you had won, along with a website or phone number to claim your ยฃ20. That makes more sense. x
