The British baked corn snack created by Smiths in 1977 and known for monster-foot shapes is Monster Munch.
Smiths launched Monster Munch in Britain in 1977 as a children’s snack. Its unusual shapes were designed around a monster theme, including the familiar paw-like form that has made the product instantly recognizable. The snack began under the name “The Prime Monster,” a reference to the British prime minister, before being renamed Monster Munch in 1978.
The brand originally featured several illustrated monsters on its packaging, with flavors and shapes connected to characters such as the Pink, Blue, Yellow, and Orange Monsters. Although people commonly describe the pieces as monster feet, the intended shape has been debated, particularly because some versions can resemble a monster’s eye or paw. The brand moved from Smiths to Walkers ownership in the 1990s, but Monster Munch remains the accepted name.
