They still make them, but a company by the name of Red Mill now makes them, and I believe they are mostly found in places like poundstrecher (Last time I saw em anyway)

Found this one place in Buxton, that was fantastic for this sort of thing, but the stuff was not cheap.

My favorite snacks as a boy was Thunder-cats.Crisps and snacks dont taste as good as they did 15-20 years ago because of the tighter restrictions on how much fat is used in them. Just wish they would bring them back was never a big fan of the fish & Chips snacks but i sure do remember them
