We used to sell these in our pub and I LOVED them!!!

We love cheesy criss cross'. Please can someone make them again - we will buy in bulk!!!

Yeah these were REALLY tasty & filling! I used to buy these & picnic eggs in the 80s

I lived in Yorkshire in the early eighties, and I think they were launched by Cadbury's there around 1982. I, too, became addicted to them quickly, and as far as I recall they flew off the confectioners' shelves. I then moved to the Midlands in 1983, where they weren't available at first, but were then launched. You could even buy them in supermarkets in packets which contained three packs of two. They then just disappeared, although KP produced a similar but less strong version with slightly different cheese fillings. What a shame they disappeared ! Can't Cadbury's bring them back like Wispa ? Although I buy cheese footballs at Christmas there's been nothing comparable around since !

There was a smokey bacon flavor one too as I recall, not as good as the original though. As I remember they came out, disappeared and then to my delight made a brief comeback and went again. God only knows why, they were the greatest snack I ever had, The nearest thing I have found to a Criss Cross are Smiths Cheese Melting Moments or whatever they are called, come in the same extremely small packets as the bacon fries and only ever seem to appear in a few pubs here and there, I think the cheese moments are still around, but I dont live in UK now so cant get anny, when I did see them I used to buy them out of stock heheh.

I can remember the advert almost word perfect! (Jane calls)'dinner's ready' (voice says)'Tarzen is rushing through the jungle not even stopping at the zebra crossing but he's gone too fast' (voices sing) 'Come and have a criss cross' (Tarzen in an Elvis voice)'It's a crunchy snack with a cheesy filling, it's as good as Jane' (Chimp in a very posh voice) 'There's only one of her but there's two in this pack' (Crocodile in a cockney accent) 'Can I have a bite'

thank god ive been googling these for years i thought i was going mental do you think we are the only people in the world that remembers them

I absolutely loved them. Do you think we could start a petition to bring them back?

Yeah I remember these well . . very moreish! Probably the only thing from the 80's I would want brought back. Look for the group on facebook that want to bring back criss cross

I was a big fan of these but like lots of sweets and snacks they were only around for a short period then disappeared. I doubt they were particlularly healthy even back then but I would definitely still buy them

awesome pub snack item after a few pints, certainly ate them circa 83-85

Oh yes, they were great. I believe they were trialed in the North only, between about 1981 and 1983. I was at Leeds University then, and they were a favourite - along with chocolate gariboldi biscuits!

I loved these & too remember the tarzan add! I have these to blame for my addiction to savory foods... mmmmm, Please bring them back Cadbury, Please, Please.
