Big D (peanuts)

Big D is a British brand of peanuts and snack food, introduced in 1967.

History

For many years in the 1970s, Britain's 'pub grub' was of a limited choice, and for many pubs, Big D peanuts, and crisps, was all that many pubs offered apart from alcoholic drinks.

Promotional displays

The product claims to be Britain's best-loved pub snack.[1] During the 1970s and 1980s, the product was notorious for its saucy promotional displays, whereby the packets of peanuts were tessellated in front of a picture of a scantily clad woman. The current promotional model is Rosie Jones.[2]

Production

The product is made by Trigon Snacks.[3] This manufacturer also licenses the American brand Planters peanuts, they entered administration in 2013.[4][5][6]
