History
The invention of this flavour started with a tongue-in-cheek question asked by the duo of the listeners to their radio show: Whether the existence of the flavouring known as "Light 'n' Tangy" preceded the manufacture of the chip of this flavour, or whether the flavour was spliced together from the putative flavours 'Light' and 'Tangy' especially for this chip, and the combined flavour "Light 'n' Tangy" was thereby created.
A representative of Smith's telephoned the show to attempt to answer the question, and it emerged in the course of the conversation that it was entirely possible to create a customized potato chip flavour.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Spain is an overflow of sombreness ... a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
“... all big changes in human history have been arrived at slowly and through many compromises.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
