A 26-year-old packet of crisps is selling on eBay for £16
A 26-year-old packet of crisps is selling on eBay for £16. Yes, £16 for a packet of crisps that has been sat there for 26 years.
The antiquated packet of cheese and onion, found behind a kitchen cupboard, has a best before date of November 7 1992.
We found them behind the kitchen units as were having a refurb, explained crisp archaeologist Damian Connop.
They look immaculate considering their age. I couldnt find any information about them, just that they were around in the 80s and 90s.
The items condition is confusingly listed as: New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item.
Of course, given how old the crisps are, anybody who buys them shouldnt actually eat them. The packet is for anyone who likes memorabilia, really – with the listing describing the packet of Primes Cheese and Onion as an archive piece.
The listing reads: Get your piece of pub snack history with an unopened packet of Primes Cheese & Onion crisps, sporting an expiry date of 7 November 1992.
