What is Walkers Crisps in your country?

@twiigss They're Lays in the US

@Dex1981 Yeah I noticed the design on the front of the bag. I was eluding to other brands we have in the US as well, utz potato chips are a big thing here where I live because we have like 3 utz potato chip factories in the area

@wonkywinky I like that coy clause!

Just to add to the confusion there is a British manufacturer of crisps that absurdly, labels them as "chips" even though selling them in Britain.

@wonkywinky and Pepsico now own Walker's

@Dez580 That doesn't surprise me....

The Costa cafe chain (that I call "Costalotta" - and avoid) was British, founded in London, but is now owned by MacDonalds.

Why the Hell do we keep selling all our companies and assets off abroad?

@Longpatrol Walkers and Lays are the same crisps just walked walkers in UK for Sponcship reasons

@Longpatrol different flavors . I’ve had Walkers paprika chips that were really good and have never seen that flavor in the USA

@Anniedlr Ah - for generations the main (only?) make of potato crisps in Britain was Smiths, originally sold with the salt held in a small twist of greaseproof paper packed in with the crisps.

So... Walkers took over Smiths, perhaps?

I would not be surprised though if all these brands are now owned by one American conglomerate anyway, even if the snacks themselves are still produced in their home countries.

I have noticed one British manufacturer of potato crisps labels them by the American term, chips - despite crisp and chips being very different forms of deep-fried potato.

@ArishMell More complicated than that, the old best selling brands like Golden Wonder sold their wotsits and quavers to Walkers but not crisps, they are still going and also make many own label packets of crisps. Smiths are similar, do not know what happened to Chipmunk crisps, once a major compasny in the 1960s/70s

@Dez580 Thankyou! It is very hard sometimes to know who owns and makes what and where.
