(Word to the wise. Don't do this.) On our trip, we stopped at a Sainsburys (or Tescos, or somewhere) and I bought, on a whim, a packet of hedgehog flavoured crisps. We both tasted them and didn't like them, so I rolled up the top of the packet (lest errant nasty crisps fall out into the car) and we went to lunch at the Eight Bells in Jevington. While there, a gent came in with his beloved dog, and ordered himself fish and chips and looking down lovingly, "A packet of crisps for him." Aha! A possible taker! I went out and fetched the unwanted packet and found him in the pub, saying, "If I was a dog, I wouldn't half like a packed of hedgehog flavoured crisps." I refused to let him either pay me for them or buy me a new packet. Later, he reported that the dog had at first been confused, but then downed the whole packet. Suddenly, the dog jumped up and began to hump the leg of one of two elderly gents seated by the wall. We all stared in shock until the other gent asked, "Have you got any more of those?"

For some reason I keep thinking the pic of the hedgehog was larger too - perhaps even a full body pic?

Maybe we're thinking of the same thing Shaun? Funny, I have memories of them being in a more papery feeling bag. Maybe we’re thinking of the same thing Shaun?

Thanks for the photo - although I was sure they were in a bag without a window I remember these ones – also remember feeling slightly cheated when another manufacturer brought out a sausage and tomato flavoured variety that tasted exactly the same.
