Litter Picker Discovers Chips Bag From 1976
A Smiths salt-and-vinegar crisp packet from 1976 was found during a clean-up where 324 sacks of rubbish have been removed in three years, a rare preservation noted by the volunteer.
- A volunteer discovered a Smiths salt-and-vinegar crisp packet at Bealey's Goit with a March 31, 1976 promotion date.
- During the clean-up, volunteers uncovered a faded Smiths crisp packet poking out from beneath moss shortly after Bentley returned from a seven-month litter-picking trip.
- Reacting to the find, Bentley said 'I thought, it's a Red Letter Day find- I've got a 50-year-old crisp packet!' and described being gobsmacked by the discovery.
- The scale of clearing is clear with wardens and local volunteers removing 324 sacks of rubbish in three years, while Bentley noted crisp packets from that era rarely survive.
- Contextually, the brand's history shows Smiths was founded in 1920 and introduced its salt-and-vinegar flavour in 1967, with the find reported by Talker.news and SWNS.
