Burton's Potato Puffs

Potato Puffs were a sort of crisp manufactured by Burton Biscuits. The came in varieties of Ready Salted, Cheese and Onion and Salt and Vinegar. I'm sure that they have gone out of production now but who knows... if enough people remember them and still want them, there could be a Potato Puff revival! You have missed out the best one of all, tomato sauce flavour. Great taste and red fingers lol, ate them every day from 1959 to 1963.

    I agree with one commenter who said they were the best! If these were deemed a failure with the consumer, I could only blame Burtons for a sad lack of effort. They had a tasty, addictive product here. But who sees Burtons on TV or in prominant position in the supermarkets? I sure havent If they'd marketted this product properly, there would have been no need to close the factory. In fact I believe the factory could have been churning these out for a world wide market or they could have franchized its production elsewhere. It would be interesting to learn who owns Burtons and what their general commercial strategies are. It sounds like a small family concern with an small thinking executive structure.

    They stopped making these years ago, I contacted Burtons myself. That page comes up with a google search and is not valid.
