You know where you are with Wotsits. Traditionally, they've been available in cheese flavour, of course - or at least, that superb flavour approximating cheese, that may or may not have seen the inside of a cow at some point on its way to staining your fingertips.
Cheesy Wotsits aren't the only flavour to have graced the shelves of newsagents and supermarkets, however: there was once the BBQ Beef flavour - though surely a BBQ Beef flavour Wotsit is just a small, misshapen Yellow Monster Munch - and, of course, the Prawn Cocktail flavour.
The other flavours were discontinued a few years back, but fans haven't forgotten them - in fact, a campaign has appeared online to bring back the Prawn Cocktail flavour.
"Bring back prawn cocktail Wotsits," wrote Yasmin Morgan on change.org. "They are a dead brand who need [sic] to be revived, they are the best crisps that were made in the UK.

"Together we can make Britain great again!"
A bold statement, incorporating some noticeably Trump-centric rhetoric, but it's hard to doubt the point at its core - maybe I'm reading too much into this here, but I think they're saying that if you don't like Wotsits, you're basically not human.
Forget your truffle fries and your bone marrow mac and cheese, your full English served on a spade and your Prosecco with glitter in it: they are the ultimate comfort food.
They're basically designed to be eaten by the bag - and I don't mean simply 'per bag of Wotsits', I mean 'per multipack bag'. Like, six - minimum - in one sitting. If you're eating less than that, either your taste buds aren't functioning or you're on some sort of diet.
It certainly seems that this particular flavour is remembered fondly.

"Best tasting crisps I've ever had," said one Twitter user, while another wrote: "They were literally my favourite crisps ever and would spend a loooot of money just for one more bag."
The weird Prawn Cocktail Wotsits did somewhat split opinion - taste sensation or just non-fizzling Skips? - but they had their backers.
As with all great ideas, they challenged us: they were nothing like the established Prawn Cocktail flavours that we were used to from the aforementioned Skips or even the classic pink Walkers.
And, if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then try this on for size - Quavers, surely the arch nemesis of the Wotsit in the cutthroat world of dissolving cheese-flavoured crisps, introduced their own Prawn Cocktail effort not long after Wotsits did.

If these prawn cocktail aficionados get their way, it may well open the floodgates for flavours long since forgotten.
Brannigan's Beef & Mustard may still be available somewhere, but I haven't seen them in years and would happily join a campaign to return them to the corner shops of Britain.
I'm no wine buff, but if anyone out there is looking for a pop and crisps sommelier, then I'll start you on a packet of Brannigans washed down with a bottle of Irn Bru and move it from there.
