Ok, so this isn’t exactly ‘graphic design’, but I reckon I can blag it and file it under illustration… I was disproportionately exited when I saw in my local offy a bag of Monster Munch, but not a new design, it’s the old one! Back to the bigger bag, with bigger crisps, just how it used to be when I were a nipper. (please excuse the shoddy iPhone pictures…)
Adding fuel to the fire, there’s even a website! And just in case you don’t remember the original Monster Munch monsters from the TV ads…

I love that they’ve brought back the old 80′s characters.
The packet looks the same too.

The biggest snack pennies can buy! ; ) Roast Beef are definitely the best though…
It’s actually quite clever, they’ve done a whispa and gone for the 80′s nostalgia hook, appealing to the kids inside us. Worked on me!

Pickled Onion all the way Seany! I had a packet for my lunch the other day! Good times.
They could still definately squeeze in another 20 crisps in those big new bags though I reckon!
Mmmmmmmmmm…Monster Munch!

If only they would revert back to the original prices as well. Space Raiders are 15p now – not 10p – disgraceful!

Maaaaan, I totally missed out on all this Monster Munch hilarity growing up in Germany
I only remember coming to Scotland on holidays and my bro stuffing his face with them. Loving the old pack though and the

I KNEW IT! I knew Monster Munch had got smaller as I got bigger! It wasn’t just my imagination. I feel gratified and very excited that they have brought the bigger ones back.
PS Pickled Onion all the way!
