I'm loving this new release but can we get some sources on these crisps packet claims? Like, how many were collected from train tunnels and local markets? 100? 1,000? I need to see some proof behind Chris Packet's journey. And what's up with the lack of diversity in the designs - it feels like a very British perspective on crisps history. How did that come to be? Was there any consideration for international flavors or influences? Also, 1970-2000 is a pretty broad timeline - are we talking about all UK crisps or just the big brands like Walkers and Quavers?
I'm so down for a trip down memory lane! Those retro crisps packets are super nostalgic. Chris Packet's work is amazing - he really dug deep to find all those hidden gems. The fact that these packets are considered cultural artifacts is mind-blowing . I mean, think about it, they're not just snacks, but little time capsules of our childhoods and the era we lived in.
