I think I can vaguely remember them, where they called something like "Big
Munch" as a KP rival to Smiths "Monster Munch", but they used food
colouring - Pink for the Prawn Cocktail and Brown for the Beef and Orange
for the Cheese flavour, which I think put people off and they didn't last
very long.


You could be right, but on a separate discussion we had decided on KP
Griddles. One person had said that Griddles were lattice-shaped, but
I'm not convinced (sorry Mal :) - does anyone remember the shape.
Don't be influenced by the name!!

Well...if this is any help (quick google on kp griddles took me to
everyone's favourite tv site...)
TV Cream.

KP Griddles - "...with the holes in the middles." Corn snacks conforming to
aforementioned topology. Not too popular, probably because they suffered
from that typical early '80s corn snack problem of the bright orange
flavouring depositing itself in solid lumps at the bottom of the bag which
made you sick, rather than spread evenly over the surface of the snack
proper.
