I'm not British, so I don't know the original flavors that came out. The article is confusing because the first sentence in the first section says

"Originally Monster Munch was made by Smiths and was first available in Roast Beef, Bacon and Pickled Onion and Salt & Vinegar flavours, each pack contained a different monster on the front of the packet."

I know Roast Beef is one flavor, is the second flavor Bacon or Bacon and Pickled Onion? or Bacon and Pickled Onion and Salt & Vinegar...though I'm sure no one would come up with such a terrible sounding flavor. I think the Oxford comma should be used here to be more specific.

So if the first 6 packs contained 2 roast beef and 2 pickled onion - what was the third flavour.

It definitely wasn't bacon

Thanks for that. I think I would've used the oxford comma if I had used the word 'and' in my question, at which point it would've been relevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Parkypants (talk • contribs) 12:36, 7 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

They haven't got bigger or reverted to the original size - they've shrunk. I've eaten them since a kid, so I should know when something has changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.128.103 (talk) 20:12, 6 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Shape

Just had a quick read and didn't see any mention of the shape of Monster Munch. Surely that they are shaped like monster footprints (?) is important — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.22.137.6 (talk) 11:29, 27 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

I can't find any credible primary evidence (photographs, adverts, packing, independent archive references) that The Prime Monster was ever an actual name used on packaging or in advertising in 1977 for what became Monster Munch. What I did find is that the claim is widely repeated in secondary (often nostalgic) sources, but with no sources cited. - T.
