Best posh crisps: top bites for elite snacking
We eat six billion packets of the salty stuff every year, which is more than any other country in Western Europe, according to The Grocer. In 2021, almost 163,000 tons of crisps were sold across the UK, an all-time high since 2006, says Statista. Packets were taken to WW2 bomb shelters to boost morale during the Blitz. We adore the savoury snack so much, there's even a day dedicated to celebrate them: National Crisp Day on March 14.
