Seabrook Potato Crisps

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Seabrook Potato Crisps (often shortened to Seabrooks) are a brand of crisps in the United Kingdom. They are produced in the northern city of Bradford and are extremely popular in the north, though less so in the south. The company does offer a mail order service, where customers can buy boxes of 48 packets of crisps, and can mix flavours. They are best known for the use of sea salt on their crisps and for offering a list of unusual flavours, together with more traditional ones. These include cream cheese and chive, Indian tandoori and Mexican chilli.

The company was founded by Charles Brook, and the name arose due to an error in a photo processing shop; instead of writing C. Brook on his film, the clerk wrote Seabrook, and the name stuck^{[citation needed]}. Seabrook has two factories in Bradford - one in the Allerton area and one off Cemetery Road. Recently, the traditional "See What You Buy" plastic packets have been replaced by foil ones, a decision which has proved unpopular with some customers

Seabrook used to be famous for its misuse of quotation marks, including phrases such as "See" what you "Buy" and Tomato Sauce "Flavour" although it is now a lot more careful^{[citation needed]}.
