Phileas Fogg On The Shelves?
Grabbed some last minute shopping on the way home tonight, popping into Budgens rather than fighting my way through the early weekend shopping families at ASDA. Wandering past the snack shelves to see what I could grab, and I noticed a rather new styled bag of tortilla chips, with, surprisingly, the name Phileas Fogg on the packet 
I remember reading last month about United Biscuits takeover, not realising they owned the brand, along with some other favourites, including Jafacakes, Hula Hoops, Skips, and McVites biscuits. Not seeing Phileas Fogg snacks for what must be years, I'd assumed that the competition had seen away with what I'd considered a quintessential part of Friday or Saturday night in with a few beers. In particular their California Cornchips, although I guess the food colouring, which seemed to stain just about everything, was probably some early form of food-based nuclear waste 
Having a Google around, I've found they're relaunching, hence the lack of presence in the shops. A new site is up, with news on what's coming, competitions, and the like.
So, I'm off to enjoy a pint of London Pride, and a small bowl of Chill con Queso Tortillas, yum
