Contestants were asked to ‘Find which flavour Monster Munch is connected to which hand’ also enclosing 3 tokens saved from previous issues.
Winners were congratulated on the 23rd of February 1985,
‘What keen-eyed readers you are! In our recent Smiths Monster Munch competition just about every entrant worked out that hand A went to the Crispy Bacon Monster Munch pack; B to roast Beef, and C to Pickled Onion.
All correct entries were then judged on neatness with age considered. We regret there is not enough space to list the 750 winners but each has been sent a cute, furry, green, three-armed Monster!’
Update: 16/2/2013 I usually don’t include images of other people's items but I had to show you this, sent to me by competition winner Tim Younger! Tim was one of the 750 winners to receive Whizzer & Chips’ prize, “ I remember being amazed when I came home from school to find this massive box, almost as big as me, waiting in the hall.” This wonderful “cute, furry, green, three-armed Monster” stands 2 ft tall as he approaches 30 years of age he sits in Tim’s living room impressing all his visitors. My sincere thanks to Tim for taking the time to write and share his photos. © Arfon Jones 2010. All images are copyrighted throughout the world.
Don't know if you still use this but came across this looking for a picture of the green monster. I was born Feb 1985, my dad's friend worked for Smiths crisps at the time and (I'm not going to ask how)gave me a green monster as a present. I still have him at my mums house and he was a treasured part of my childhood
ReplyDeleteHi there, I do! (But I'm not very good and spotting new messages!) That's brilliant- if you ever get a chance send me a pic of the green monster and we can add him and the backstory to the site! :) Thanks for getting in touch :)
