My god, the recklessness of the BBC introducing the primitive tribal 1970's British public to such exotic flavours as chicken, prawn cocktail, and plain. Please, think of the children!
It was deliberately promoted to the public to create poor diet choices. The GOV has always wanted to hurt the public. They were doing germ wormfare tests on the same public at this time.
British invented crisps. These were all new flavours. No one else in the world had. So you seem confused about the historical significance and judge it based on your idea of the modern world. You lack imagination and intelligence.
