Rhodri Wyn Jones said: ‘I can’t understand how this is possible. Unless you’ve grafted one frazzle to another to make one big super frazzle?!’These crisps may have the sweet flavour of bacon but with most crisps there is no actual meat product inside them, it is just a flavouring created by the boffins at Smiths Crisps to give the crisps a lovely bacon flavour but without harming any animals in the process. Did you know your favourite Frazzles have been around since 1975! These crispy, crunchy bacon flavour bites are as delicious now as they have always been! Frazzles are made to look like a piece of streaky bacon with its red and yellow lined effect and it has a small wave in the crisp as well to add to the effect.
