...thing he does love is McCain Smiles. ==Packaging == On the front of the red plastic packaging is a picture of a sunflower, when you look closely you can see that it is actually sunflower petals and in the middle is a smile which I think is very clever!

Review of McCain Smiles

One of every child's favourite potatoes have to be McCain's Smiles. The smiley faces were always my favourites to accompany any meal and, even though I don't eat them very often now I'm all grown up, I do occasionally get pulled back to my youth and chuck a pack in my shopping trolley. Smiles come in a red plastic 454g bag packaging with a picture of one of the smiles on the front looking rather happy surrounded by sunflower petals. A bag usually ...
...offer in Asda and Iceland for only £1. Smiles are a frozen potato product made from fluffy mashed potato and lightly prepared with sunflower oil to give a bit of crunch to the outside.

Review of McCain Smiles

What are they? McCain smiles are a frozen potato product aimed at children. They are basically mashed poato made into the shape of a smiley face, and I think they are meant to be a fun alternative to chips. The description the packet gives is as follows 'McCain smiles are bite sized fun faces made from fresh mashed poato. You're guaranteed smiles all round!' Price These cost £1.09 for a 454g bag at my local Bell's store. Personally I think that's ...

Review of McCain Smiles

McCain have been producing chips and potato products for a long time now and have become extremely popular. Smiles are simply potato made into smiley faces :o) I love these because sometimes usual chips can lie a bit heavily in my stomach and these are quite light and fluffy, and cheer you up when you look at them smiling back at you on your plate. The new 'bigger' bag of smiles is 600g and costs £1.56 in Tesco. A portion is roughly 75g/6 smiles, ...
...go they're not too bad. McCain have tried to developed their products to be healthier, especially as these are aimed at children. Therefore these are now made with 100% sunflower oil, one of the healthiest cooking oils, which is low in saturated fat but high in the heart-healthy ones. You know you're getting quality with McCains British potatoes, so if you're opting for a potato/chip product these are a good option. You can grill or oven cook these. ...
