It says that on the front of the packet.
So Walkers took over Smiths? Is it a Smiths Crisp or a Walkers crisp? Try saying that as you leave the pub tonight.
A walkers crisp. Excerpt from the article below.......

The Smiths’ company was taken over in the late 1980s and, along with Walkers, became part of the US food giant PepsiCo in 1989. Production continued with most of Smith’s crisps being re-branded under the Walkers name and heavily marketed by PepsiCo in a long running TV campaign using former England international footballer and television presenter Gary Lineker.
By 3 March 2006 production had come to an end at the Swansea site, with the switch to Walkers plants in Peterlee and Coventry. Redevelopment of the site for housing was proposed in 2009 but with the retention of the splendid listed building.
Cheers Tom
