Sealed Nik-Naks from 1993


Pocket money snacks. Gotta love how the British pound used to spread far enough at the tuck shop to buy penny chews, GPK collector cards, some crisps and still enough left over for a bottle of pop (Panda Cola usually!).

A recent archival find this early summer has been a preserved packet of Nik-Naks from 1993. This very pack has been in storage and forgotten about for over the last two decades. We dare not open it, let alone taste the probably disintegrating contents.

Krispy Kreme UK elbows Ghostbusters promotion


When Krispy Kreme announced special edition Ghostbusters donuts to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the movie, many were happy to receive the news.

The unveiled donuts in two different variants: A Slimed Logo donut, and a Marshmallow Mr Stay Puft donut had been given a good reception. The eventual release has been positive overall.


Sadly, it would seem the promotion is limited to a USA and Canada only deal. An email made its way to Figured Out HQ this morning confirming that the UK won't enjoy these spooky treats.

Thank you for contacting Krispy Kreme!

Unfortunately, the Ghostbusters promotion is only taking place in the US.

We have lots of exciting campaigns coming to the UK very soon such as Halloween inspired doughnuts.

Somehow, the Halloween donuts don't seem to be worthy substitute. Feel free to comment and reply with opinions.
