Answer 2

Cheezels

Cheezels are a type of ring-like, corn-based, cheese-flavoured Australian snack food distributed by Snack Brands Australia (which, in turn is owned by The Real McCoy Snackfood Company). In Malaysia, Cheezels are originally produced by Danone and later, Kraft Foods, and is currently owned by Mondelēz International, together with Twisties. In New Zealand, Cheezels are owned by Bluebird Foods Ltd and Pepsico subsidiaries.

Made from corn and rice, they are a crisp puffy ring with a strong, savoury cheddar cheese flavour and aroma. They are similar in texture to a cheese puff, or the American Cheetos.

According to any modern packet of Cheezels, the snack entered the market in 1971. Prior to 2014, Cheezels were gluten free by ingredient. The recipe has now been changed to include gluten containing cereals, disappointing Coeliac disease sufferers nationwide.

Usually, Cheezels are made from corn and rice and many kinds of powdered cheeses. Other flavours of the snack have been produced by Snack Brands Australia, such as:

In Italy, Cheezels are known under the name 'Yonkers', also owned by Mondelēz International. The snack has no slogan, and features a mascot named 'Yonky', after the snack. However, Yonky's catchphrase is 'Yonk!' which could be considered the slogan. The snack is much less cylindrical than its Australian predecessor, shaped more like the Australian Burger Ring. Its puffiness also rivals that of the latter, making them easier to chew through than the characteristic hard shell found on Cheezels. For seasoning, Yonkers uses a less tangy, finer cheese powder than that of Cheezels, but with a relatively similar aftertaste. Yonkers' aroma is more pungent, and relies on the same child-friendly gimmick of Cheezels by popularising using them as rings to wear on your fingers.

Answer 3

Samboy

Samboy (Snackfood) is one of the largest brands of potato chips released in Australia and is owned by Snack Brands Australia. Samboy chips are crinkled potato chips.

The most popular flavours are Chicken, Original, Salt & Vinegar, Atomic Tomato and BBQ.

Samboy Chips were originally produced and distributed by Norm and Ed Meyer in the 1950s.

In the 1960s Samboy chips were not crinkle cut and only came in barbecue flavour. Although today's Samboy Barbecue chips taste similar to the original version, they do not taste the same

In the 1980s, the "Original" (ready salted) flavour was called "Samboy Gold".

The brand is best remembered by its 1980s advertising campaign that stated 'Samboy: The Flavour really hits you". The ad featured a man on a bicycle delivering chips to various people. He would hit the front brake at the last moment, performing an 'endo' as he came to an abrupt stop. He'd then present the pink bag of "Salt and Vinegar Samboy" chips, before immediately cycling off hastily, pulling a 'mono' as he left. The confused customer would then be drenched in a huge amount of salt and vinegar falling from the sky. Subsequent deliveries would see recipients hit by falling giant chickens and flattened by a solid brick BBQ, representing the different flavours available.

An advertising campaign during the 1990s included the slogan "Hit me with a Samboy chip", with the television commercial featuring a variety of Australian celebrities furthering the slogan to "hit me slowly, hit me quick, hit me, hit me, hit me baby one more time", imitating the song Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick by Ian Dury & The Blockheads.

In 2003-2004 Arnotts discontinued the 'Atomic Tomato' flavour.

In late 2008 the brand was reintroduced after being acquired by Snack Brands Australia due to demand from groups on the social networking site Facebook. Original, BBQ, Chicken, Salt & Vinegar as well as Atomic Tomato are the flavours to be re-released.

Answer 4

Thins

Thins (Snackfood) is one of the largest brands of savoury snack potato chips (crisps) released in Australia and is owned by Snack Brands Australia. They are a thinly sliced variety of potato chip (crisp) and come in a variety of flavours including Chicken, Original, Salt & Vinegar, "BBQ Ribs", "Cheese & Onion", Sour Cream & Chives" and Light & Tangy. They compete chiefly with Smith's Selections Thinly Cut; another thinly sliced potato chip (crisp), along with various crinkle cut brands.

The Thins brand has undergone several ownership changes throughout its history. Originally owned by Arnott's the brand was sold to The Smith's Snackfood Company shortly after Arnott's was bought by the Campbell Soup Company in hostile takeover bid in 1997. Smith's in turn was purchased by Pepsico and began to relabel the Thins brand jointly with Pepsi's own brand of thin potato chips, Lay's. They were sold under the moniker Thins: now known internationally as Lays. Smith's later sold Thins to Snack Foods Limited, while continuing to produce their own line of potato chips under the 'Lays' brand name. For a while there were two competing lines of potato chips released in Australia which were effectively the same product, even sharing similar packaging since the Thins packet was designed off the Lays ones released in North America. In 2002 Snack Foods Limited was purchased by Arnott's, and the Thins brand returned to the company which created it. Smith's produced a line of potato chips under the Lay's brand for a brief period of time until it was eventually rebranded as Smith's Crisps, while the traditional Smith's line was renamed Smith's Crinkles. Thins is still sold in Australia as a direct competitor to Smith's Crisps.
