Nik Naks Nice 'N' Spicy - 6 Pack

Nik Naks belong to the corner-shop end of British snacking: the bags bought with pocket money and finished on the walk home. The shape was always the point. Lumpy, twisted, never two the same, and somehow every one of them crunchier than the last.

People in Canada tend to search for these by their full name, because the craving is very specific. It is not any spicy corn snack they are after. It is Nice 'N' Spicy, in that bag, with that crunch, the way it was at the school gate or the pub table.

This is a six pack of individual bags, so each one stays sealed and crunchy in the cupboard until it is wanted. They go in lunchboxes, get handed round at a match, or sit next to a sandwich that is frankly only there as an excuse.

Nik Naks are a KP Snacks brand these days, and Cream 'n' Cheesy was the original flavour that started it all. Nice 'N' Spicy usually ends up in a basket alongside other British crisps, a bar of chocolate from home and a box of proper tea.
