Smoky Bacon

What is it?

Puffy corn snacks coated in a smoked rasher seasoning, these came in the familiar curled shape and light, airy crunch you'd expect, with a centre that melts quickly on the tongue. Instead of the usual cheese dusting, the coating leaned into smoky, salty notes with a savoury meat flavour. Part of the original Golden Wonder-era range, it sat alongside the cheese versions rather than the later prawn cocktail variety, and it was eventually discontinued. When it was on shelves, the format stayed the same as other flavours in the lineup: a puffed corn tube, dusted in seasoning, sold in small bags. It's the kind of snack that left orange-brown dust on your fingers.
