Skips tapioca snack

Skips are a light, melt-on-the-tongue snack that has become a staple of the British snacking market. Distinctive for their unique fizzing sensation and prawn cocktail flavor, they were first introduced to the UK market in 1974. The snack is made primarily from tapioca starch, which gives it its characteristic airy and crisp texture.

The brand was originally developed by KP Snacks in the United Kingdom and remains an iconic part of their product portfolio. Over the decades, Skips has seen changes in corporate parentage through larger acquisitions in the food industry. Today, the brand is part of the Intersnack Group, a major European snack food manufacturer that acquired KP Snacks to expand its footprint in the British Isles. The product continues to be a favorite primarily in the UK and Ireland.
