Nik Naks are a type of extruded corn snack previously manufactured by Sooner Foods in Scunthorpe, England.[1] The snack was introduced as Crunchy Wotsits, with a cheese flavour, in 1981.[citation needed] The brand was purchased by Golden Wonder in 1987 and then sold to United Biscuits in 2006. In December 2012, United Biscuits agreed to sell the KP Snacks brand, including Nik Naks, to the European Intersnack Group.[2] As of 2021[update], Nik Naks are made in three flavours (all of the format "X 'n' Y") with different colour packaging for each.
