Would any US readers care to pop over to my blog and answer my questions about Crisps and Vimto.

Alternatively you could comment here. In the US did you ever have bags of potato chips (crisps to me) with a little twist of blue paper with salt inside?
And have you ever had Vimto over there?

Bob, I've not heard of either, but then I'm not with the "in" crowd. Let me ask my kids.

Sorry to have missed this.

Out of curiosity, has anyone come across Irn-Bru ("Made in Scotland from girrrders")?

Another of the A.G. Barr fizzy products is Tizer, which used to be my own tipple of choice.

My kids haven't heard of it either, Bob.
