KP Skips

Skips are a popular British snack known for their unique 'melt-on-the-tongue' texture and distinct prawn cocktail seasoning. Originally launched in 1974, these light, airy snacks are made primarily from tapioca starch rather than potatoes. They have become a staple of the British crisp aisle, often recognized by their bright yellow packaging and the characteristic 'fizz' they create on the palate.

The brand was originally developed by KP Snacks in the United Kingdom. Over the decades, the ownership of the brand has transitioned through various corporate mergers and acquisitions. Today, Skips are part of a massive snacking portfolio that serves millions of consumers across Europe.

Currently, Skips are owned by the Intersnack Group, a German-based multinational that acquired KP Snacks in late 2012. While the ultimate ownership is German, the production remains heavily centralized in the United Kingdom, specifically at KP Snacks' various manufacturing facilities, maintaining the brand's heritage as a classic British savory treat.
