Talk:Tayto

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I must disagree. You can buy Tayto in England at many supermarkets. [[User:Norm|Nor^{m]] 11:33, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)}

Thats Tayto (NI) Limited, and not Tayto. Differnt company, different crisps. I will however add that to the article.

That is unless you can check to see the factory is Coolock and not Tandragee. If its Coolock, its Tayto, if its Tandragee is Tayto NI.

The packaging on NI Taytos are different, aren't they? --Zilog Jones 23:34, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

I'd bloody well hope so, as its an entirely different company, and if the packaging isn't majorly different it'd be utter explotation of C&C's brand. --Kiand 23:35, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, they are totally different - see [1] (NI) compared to [2] (Ireland). I never knew they were totally different companies - I guess people didn't sue for trademark infringement back in the '50s ^_^ --Zilog Jones 00:05, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Must be an agreement - Tayto NI even have a damn Mr Potato Head style mascot, and our Tayto has Spud, the potato in a suit. If there wasn't an agreement, there'd be some nasty fights.

I also see 4gifts.ie won't see our Tayto to the UK, so theres probably a non-competition agreement. --Kiand 00:10, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

The NI (real!) Tayto also send Tayto all over the world - except the Republic. And that "Mr Potato Head style mascot" is Mr Tayto. beano 16:42, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I knew about the NI Taytos, but never knew it was a totally unrelated brand. Sounds really dodgy - can't think of anything else like this... oh, wait, the two different Bulmers cider. But at least the Irish Bulmers is sold outside Ireland as Magners. --Zilog Jones 00:17, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
