aha, cheap childrens corn based snack of zero nutritional value

I quote [lolf]:

Space Raiders remained at a retail price of 10 pence[dubious – discuss] from their introduction in the late 1970s[dubious – discuss] until late October 2007, when the price increased to 15p. It later increased to 25p before lowering to 20p. The price has continued to fluctuate, reflecting the volatility of the underlying commodity prices. At the time of the original 5p price rise, directors at United Biscuits received death threats.[2]

Each crisp is in the shape of an alien head. Prior to the change in EC food colouring laws, Roast Beef Space Raiders were bright red and pickled onion ones were green. They are now a light brown colour reflecting the maize/corn ingredients.
