We are feeling the love today, so just wanted to say a big Happy Valentine’s to all our friends and fans. Whatever you’re doing, whether it’s Valentine’s-related or not, hope something good happens today (and remember, crisps are good for all occasions – happy or not-so happy!)
Have fun!
It’s Friday, it’s chilly, we think it’s time for a competition.
So, to enter, please follow us on Facebook and/or Twitter (links at the top right) and answer the following question: How many flavours of crisps do Brown Bag make? Once you’ve got the answer, please email it to crunch@brownbagcrisps.co.uk by Tuesday, January 31st at midday.
Good luck!
We are absolutely delighted that businessman and Dragon’s Den star Theo Paphitis has been publicising our award-winning crisps!
On Sunday night, the man himself tweeted about Brown Bag Crisps having chosen us as one of his Small Business Sunday winners. Small Business Sunday, or SBS, is a weekly Twitter competition where small businesses like ours promote themselves to Theo Paphitis and he chooses six winners to ‘retweet’ their message. Of the hundreds of tweets he received on Sunday (December 4), ours was picked out and Brown Bag Crisps was mentioned to the more than 200,000 people who follow Theo on Twitter.
This is a great boost for our small (and perfectly-formed!) company and helps us get our delicious potato crisps talked about by even more people.
Brown Bag Crisps are the only crisps in the UK to be cooked in olive oil. They are handcooked, hand seasoned and then sealed in a foil-lined paper bag to guarantee they taste as good in your hands as they did when we took them out of the cookers.
Please do get in touch if you have any questions or comments. Brown Bag Crisps’ owners Phil and Viv are on 01344 566267 or philandviv@brownbagcrisps.co.uk
