Hula Hoops
Hula Hoops are a British snack food made out of potatoes and corn in the shape of short, hollow cylinders. They were created in 1973 by KP Snacks of Rotherham. As well as being sold in Britain, they are sold in Ireland and South Africa,[needs update] and are sold in Belgium under the fellow Intersnack label "Chio" (until 2024 under "Croky" of Mouscron). They were also sold in France beginning in 2016 under Intersnack's Vico brand.

The following flavours were available for a short time, either because they tied-in with special promotions, or failed to meet sales expectations:
Hula Hoops come in different flavours. In 2008, KP started a variety made with corn called 'Hula Hoops Tortilla', which come in Cool Original, Chilli Salsa, and Nacho Cheese flavours.
In 1998, KP launched 'Big O's' from Hula Hoops, using comedians Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse in their advertising campaign as their characters the Self-Righteous Brothers. Big O's were larger-than-normal Hula Hoops, packaged in larger bags and only available in Beef & Mustard flavour. The bag design used a black background featuring a large Big O's logo. A smaller Hula Hoops logo featured in the bottom-corner whilst the flavour was in the opposite bottom-corner. Big O's are no longer in production, nor available.
For a short while in the early 2000s, KP produced Hula Hoops Shoks. These were miniature versions of the classic Hula Hoop, but had a much more intense flavour than the bags. They were packaged in either a stiff flexible plastic cube, or in a small resealable pot. The launch was first announced in March 2002, to be available in April, with KP claiming that the product would "revolutionise the snacks market". The company made a £4m investment in Shoks during the first eight weeks, with marketing controller Clare Robinson saying: "Complacency is not a Hula Hoops value and we wanted to rewrite some of the rules." According to the Morning Advertiser, Robinson said that consumer sampling had been "overwhelmingly successful". She added: "We've never experienced a reaction like it". Shoks were aimed at the 12 to 24-year old market, and KP estimated that they could earn over £10m in sales during its first year.
