Discos Variety - 6 Pack

Discos belong to that corner of British snacking where crisps get a bit sillier: shaped, crunchy, sold in small bags and eaten at the bus stop. They come from KP Snacks, which is behind a good chunk of the British crisp aisle.

People in Canada search for Discos by name because a craving for one particular packet is very specific. It tends to hit a few weeks after the move, usually while unpacking a box that smells faintly of somebody else's flat.

The variety multipack holds six individual bags, so they slip into lunchboxes, coat pockets and the car glove box without any fuss. Keep them in a cool, dry cupboard and they will sit there quietly until someone finds them. Someone always finds them.

They are at their best next to a sandwich and a mug of tea, or tipped into a bowl when friends come round and pretend not to be hungry. If you are restocking the cupboard properly, a few other British crisps and snacks make good company for them.
