What is it?

Shaped like small teddy bears, these potato crisps come in a plain salted flavour with a light, airy crunch. Made from potato and sunflower oil with salt for seasoning, they're gluten free and sold primarily as a kids' snack. Each piece is small and easy to handle, and the texture breaks down quickly rather than giving a hard snap, which makes them manageable for younger children. In the range, this plain salted version is the simplest option, with no cheese, onion, or barbecue seasoning layered on top. Because there's no competing flavour, the bear shape shows most clearly here, with each piece standing out as a recognisable little figure. Usually sold in multipacks for lunchboxes, they're a staple across UK supermarkets and have been on shelves since the early 1990s.
