A very important addition to my library: UK Crisp Packets 1970 - 2000 (https://sportsbanger.com/products/u-k-crisp-packets-book) as heard on Ruminate 225 (https://ruminatepodcast.com/225/).

@robb Flicked through a copy of that in Rough Trade last month. The nostalgia when I hit the Mel B Quavers packet, then the Thunderbirds one. Physically felt it.
@bendaubney I just said elsewhere about the Spice Girls ones that it's hard to explain to someone who wasn't there quite how popular the Spice Girls were for the second half of the 90s.
@robb Still crave the Spice Girls 'fantasy ball' Chupa Chups lollipops tbh.

@robb From this week’s @ruminate: “Oh, do you not know what Thunderbirds is?”

This kind of cross cultural dialogue justifies the entire podcast. The entire digital world.

@robb Oh my goodness I think I must buy this immediately.
