A 55 year old crisp packet has been discovered by a group of litter pickers in Kesgrave.
The roast chicken flavour Golden Wonder crisps were sold at some point in 1968 at the cost of 6d.
The packet advertises a competition to win tickets to the 1968 Mexico Olympics, which took place in Mexico City.
Volunteers from local litter picking group Rubbish Walks CIC made the discovery.
