For decades the men, women and children of the United Kingdom have loved and cherished Smith’s Scampi Flavour Fries.

Their unique and distinctive taste has provided the accompaniment to generations of sessions down the pub, that peculiar but irresistible tang scything through the beer as old friends set the world to rights. Their intense crunch has offered temporary respite from the monotony of a long car journey when stopping to refuel, as the promise of that fishy citrus kick beckons us back to the privacy of the car, reinvigorating us and steeling our will for the next stretch of roadworks on the M4.

However, they are only available in tiny bags, enough to lift one person’s spirit, to pick their chin up. But that is not enough for these dark times. The time for measured portions is long gone.

In this era of doubt and apathy we need snacks that remind us of the better times, snacks we can rely on, snacks that let us know that we are alive and remind us that together, we can achieve great things.

So I ask The Smith's Snackfood Company, give us the means to share these little explosions of restorative tonic.

Give us family packs of Scampi Fries.
