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.

As part of Smith’s 1990 ‘The Mighty Monster Bike’ offer, retailers were offered the chance to “Either sell these Spokey Dokeys for 15p each by tearing off the right hand panel OR Run your own promotion and give a Spokey Dokey away with every two packs of Monster Munch.” As you can see this particular retailer decided to sell them for 15p each...
In 1990 Monster Munch launched ‘The Mighty Monster Bike Kit’. This “sensational” kit promised to be “specially designed to give you maximum colour, noise and presence whilst on the streets. Designed for safety and fun!” The kit could be obtained by either sending in 18 empty special “bike kit” packs with a 28p postage stamp or 6 proofs of purchase with a cheque/ postal order for 99p and a 28p postage stamp. The kit included,
4 Day-Glo Monster Stickers “to stick on bicycle handlebars, mudguards or frame”

In 1990 Monster Munchers were urged to not miss out on obtaining their crucial furry pet monsters that could glow in the dark! “Take them to school and sit them on your desk or wear them as a badge. Then watch their faces glow in the dark at night. They’re monstrous!” There were 4 to collect each one standing 2.5 inches tall with a furry pom pom body. Each one could be obtained by collecting 9 empty promotional packs (or 2 promotional packs along with a cheque or postal order for 95p)
