A Brief History of Wotsits

Wotsits was previously owned by Golden Wonder; however in 2002 it was sold off to Walkers because of Golden Wonder changing hands.

Before Walkers owned Wotsits, they sold a rival known as Cheetos on the UK market.

In February 2007 Wotsits were re-launched in new packaging to coincide with the new usage of Sun-seed oil in their ingredients.

Don’t worry though; they still have all the cheesy jokes on the back!
