In the mid 90's a new wave of 10p crisps arrived on the shelves of UK stores.

They were considerably more tasty, eye catching and generally more filing than the bland, tasteless crisps that had existed before them.

There were several tongue tantalizing brands from Johnnies Onion rings to bikers and transform a snack, the needs of every individual was catered for by this new wave of snack. But none so much as the mysterious Tangy Tom. These strange crisps balls of tomatoy goodness swept across playground tuck shops across the UK and took the nation by storm.

The combination of tomato and tang made them the ideal snack. They were everwhere and even at one point launched a brand of underwear with the slogan " how tangy is your tom" across front. The nation had fallen head of heals for the tangyest of Toms.

But sadly it was all lost in an instant after The lovable tomato character vanished from our shelves in a blink of any eye only to return to a few stores in early 2007.

No one ever knew where tangy toms came from or where they went, some say Gran Canaria.

some speculation points to an individual operating out of the east end of Glasgow as the creater and face of the snack.

Sources from other parts of the city such as Yoker,Royston and Deniston have all pointed at an individual known only as the Tang Myster General of the Glasgow notorious east end as the source of the snack.
