H is for Hula Hoops

- You know that feeling of surprised dejection when you go back to some fondly remembered something, and find out it's not how you remembered it?

- Yes.

- Beef Hula Hoops.

- What?

- I always liked Hula Hoops - there was something wonderful about crisps made from potato pressed into funny shapes in the pre-Pringle era - but I loved Barbecue Beef flavour. Couldn't get enough of them. Multipack bags were rummaged through to remove the brown bags first. You know - the full "I like these crisps" thing.

- And now?

- I saw them in a shop, and realised I hadn't had them in ages. So I bought a bag, tried them, and I hate them. I couldn't finish the bag. This awful, over-powering flavour. And the smell is so strong.

- Dispiriting. I did the same with those sherbet fountains.

- Never liked them.
