Smith's Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips

Smith's chips are widely regarded as Australia's first and most iconic potato chip brand. The company was founded in Australia in 1931 when Frank Smith and George Ensor began making chips in Sydney. The brand became famous for its 'salt shake' packets and later for its crinkle-cut texture, which is showcased in this Salt & Vinegar variety.

While the brand has deep Australian roots and is manufactured locally using 100% Australian potatoes, its ownership has transitioned over the decades to large multinational entities. In 1998, Smith’s was acquired by PepsiCo, a global leader in the snack and beverage industry. Today, Smith's operates as a major brand under the PepsiCo Australia and New Zealand umbrella, maintaining its status as a household staple in the Australian market.
