At least they cut the bread.

I must be getting old as I'm starting to feel some love for the "plain" crisp.
Sizzling King Prawn McCoys would be a favourite at the minute.
The original, and only salt and shake crisps that I recall were made by Smiths.

They're still on sale but the all-conquering Walkers now own the brand so you and Hardstation are both correct. It's not something you get to say too often.
Salted crisps are the best. Especially Kettle ones.

For information purposes Tayto crisps started the company in Tanderagee. N.I. The owners are from a little place outside Portadown called Laurelvale. Don`t try to steal the only thing we have that is any good. ;D

While the landscape of County Tyrone is pleasant; the neanderthal people, their way of life and especially their accent are nothing short of vile.

You haven't been to the Tayto website where a different story is being told...........
History of Tayto
In 1954 Joe Spud Murphy began what is today's largest snackfood company with just two rented rooms off Moore Street, Dublin. Truly, a remarkable story of one man's determination, his initial set up costs ran to a grand total of £500. The entire staff consisted of Joe, his eight employees and a single van.
At the time Tayto crisps sold for 4 pence per bag! They were sold in beautiful tin boxes that contained 18 bags of crisps and sold to shops for 4 shillings. The crisps bags were hand-glued with a tiny paintbrush to guarantee that trademark Tayto freshness.
Not many people realise that it was Joe Spud Murphy who actually invented the now world renowned Cheese & Onion flavour– with a little input from Mr. Tayto, of course.
Pioneering as always, Joe Murphy placed ads in the local newspapers which promoted the full list in the original Tayto range: Plain Golden, Onion, Cheese & Onion and Cheese flavoured crisps.
In 1954, Tayto sold 347 packs per day. Today, Tayto sells over 525 packs a minute!
Thanks to all the loyal Tayto consumers from the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s and today, Tayto remains Ireland's favourite crisp.

You could take trip to Ireland's only potato crisp theme park in where else but Meath!

While Spud Murphy may have been a Dub, Mr Tayto is definitely from Tandragee! You can tell by his crisp shaped head.
From Wikipedia:
Tayto (Northern Ireland) was formed in 1956 and licensed the name and recipes of Tayto in the Republic of Ireland. The two companies operate entirely separately, but have a similar range of products
