New Ridge Range – A Flavoursome Treat!

Crisps: a very popular snack. Crisps are found in over 70% of kids’ lunch boxes in the UK, and while our favourite is individually personal, it is widely regarded that Walkers are some of the most popular. Walkers are said to produce 10 million packets of crisps every single day, and use more than 350,000 tonnes of potatoes every year to produce them. The most popular flavours in the UK are Ready Salted, Cheese and Onion and Salt and Vinegar, and figures from Mintel reveal that British people in the UK eat a tonne of crisps every three minutes. When you look at statistics like this, we’re sure that new Ridge Range crisps courtesy of Mackie’s will prove extremely popular!

Mackie’s
Mackie’s are a family business that was founded in 2009. It was originally a joint venture between Perthshire potato farmers, the Taylor family and Mackie’s of Scotland, who are renowned for their luxury ice cream. Alongside the Taylor family, who have been growing potatoes for several generations, they both combined to produce these potato crisps. They are now available in 20 countries around the world.
While the company continues to grow, they have remained close to their roots and have remained a family business. The natural goodness of their crisps extends to traditional flavours such as sea salt and mature cheddar and onion, but it is the premium ridge cut flavours that we’re particularly keen on. We will be taking five in our snack machines…
What we’ll be taking…
We will be taking lightly salted, sea salt and cider vinegar, cheddar and onion, sweet chilli and flamegrilled Aberdeen angus. Make sure you keep an eye out for them in your snack machine and give them a try. You never know, you may just have a new favourite!
Ridge Cut Crisps.
Ridge cut crisps are incredibly moreish. They are around four times thicker than standard crisps, which equates to around about 0.8cm thick. Popular varieties of ridge cut crisps include McCoys, Kettle Chips and Golden Wonder Rough Cuts, and Mackie’s joins the prestigious range.
