What a unique find!👀

The crisps were from pre-decimal currency and the weight was marked in 'drams' - with the packet labelling an offer expiration date on April 30 1969, two years before decimalisation was introduced in the UK.

Zoe said: "I could see it was old as soon as I bent down to pick it up, because of the price, which was 4D - pre-decimal money. On closer examination, the packet has a cutlery offer which expired on April 30th, 1969 - it's the oldest I've found.
