And back out aswell. My sister bought a packet and after a chip or 2 her memory of how nice those chips were were shattered.

As for me... I throw up at the first chew

This is not the chip I remember.

The one they came back first with tastes more like salt and vinegar than anything else. Now they have seafood flavoured ones that taste better, but still not like the old ones.

They have not reproduced the old taste. I read somewhere that the company that made the original flavouring for Simba (or whatever) closed down and that the recipe was lost. Damn shame. I miss them. At least PineNut is back.

Wasn't the reason they discontinued it because of tartezin or something?

Might be, though there are many products around that still contain tartrazine. Tartrazine is a colourant that some people are allergic to, most usually ADHD sufferers, but products are required to say when it contains it. Pine Nut contains it.

sod them... it's the asthma sufferers who are at greater risk...
