The city of Lincoln is saying goodbye to a treasured local snack, Smith’s Tomato Snaps, with Walkers announcing the discontinuation of the product. Recognised for their tangy tomato taste and unusual rolled rectangle design, these crisps were made at the Walkers factory situated on Newark Road, Lincoln. The final stocks are now ready for sale, signalling a close to a local epoch. PepsiCo, the parent firm of Walkers, expressed that although Smith’s Tomato Snaps carry a distinct position in their chronicle, the corporation is redirecting its attention towards other trending brands and flavours.
