Walkers is currently owned by [[Frito-Lay]], which is in turn owned by [[PepsiCo]]. The primary ingredient in Quavers is reconstituted [[potatoes]], similar to the ingredient used in [[Pringles]] (available in various countries). Originally cheese-flavoured, the product line has been expanded to include four flavours: [[cheese]], [[bacon]], [[prawn cocktail]] and [[vinegar|salt and vinegar]]. [[Ketchup]] flavour was introduced for a limited time only and has long been discontinued. The former [[mascot]] of Quavers was a cartoon character named 'Colin Curly', who also appeared in two [[Amiga]] and [[Atari ST]] puzzle games: ''[[Pushover (video game)|Pushover]]'' (1992) and its sequel, ''[[One Step Beyond (computer game)|One Step Beyond]]'' (1993), both published by [[Ocean Software|Ocean]]. The [[brand]] has been available for over 30 years. In February 2007 Quavers were re-launched in new packaging (along with other Walkers brands such as [[Wotsits]] and [[Monster Munch]]) to coincide with the new usage of [[Sunseed oil]] in their ingredients. ==External links== * [http://walkers.corpex.com/cr15p5/products.asp?snacktypeid=31 Product page on Walkers site] {{food-product-stub}} [[Category:Brand name snack foods]] [[Category:Frito-Lay brands]] [[Category:British snack foods]] Walkers were originally called Smiths, where Quavers were produced by a separate brand from the original walkers crisps. The original mascot for the brand was a bulldog dressed in a yellow suit (or different colours depending on what flavour he was advertising).
