This book is literally my happy place! I mean, who wouldn't want a 140-page compendium of old crisp packet designs? I grew up in the 90s, and I'm still nostalgic for those sick Frazzles and Snaps packets

. What's so special about these packets, you ask? Well, it's not just the food inside (although, let's be real, who doesn't love a good flavor of bacon or roast turkey?). It's the design – oh man, the design! From Dennis the Menace to Sonic the Hedgehog, each packet is like a mini artwork that transports me back to my childhood. I remember spending hours poring over those lunchboxes and tuck shop treats, dreaming up creative ways to eat them on-the-go.
I love how Chris Packet curated this collection – it's not just about the crisps themselves, but the stories behind each design. The way he hunted down rare packets in train tunnels and stuff is like something out of a movie

. And Annebella Pollen's foreword about crisps as "cultural detritus" really got me thinking – who knew something so humble could hold such power?
As someone who loves vintage design, I'm obsessed with this book. It's like my own personal treasure trove of nostalgia (pun intended

). Trust me when I say that if you're a fellow crisp enthusiast or just love good design, you need to get your hands on this ASAP!
