The potato-based flavoured snack took their name from the characteristic shape of the crisps. Peaking in popularity during the 1970s, Toobs were considered a novelty crisp and could be found in supermarkets and selected convenience stores. They were available in a number of flavours including Chicken, Oriental, Oats and Mexican Party, but more recently were only available in the original tomato flavour.[1]{{Failed verification|date=October 2015}} Production ceased in 2001, but resumed in 2007 with the new name "Tasty Toobs", and the Herald Sun attributed a resurgence in popularity of the flavoursome rings and Samboy potato chips to the global economic recession.[2] The product gained some media attention when its Wikipedia page was vandalized in 2014.[3] The Smith's Snackfood Company ceased production of Toobs in 2015 due to poor consumer demand.[4][5]On 27 October 2015, as bags of Tasty Toobs became scarce, Melbourne radio duo Lucy and Kel announced on air they would give away their last bags of Tasty Toobs to a listener.[6] Campaign to Bring Back ToobsAfter the announcement of the discontinuation of Toobs in 2015, there was public outcry.[7] Sports celebrity Shane Warne attempted to start a campaign on Twitter to bring back Toobs using hashtags #BringBackToobs and #savetoobs.[8][9] However, the company was adamant, noting that despite the sentiment, actual sales were the issue: Smith's Consumer Information Centre stated that "Consumer demand for the tangy, tomatoey treat has declined and it is no longer possible to justify on-going production."[10] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.smiths.com.au/index.php/our_brands/tasty-toobs|title=Tasty Toobs product page|work=smiths.com.au}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/retro-snacks-like-tasty-toobs-and-samboy-chips-are-back-in-fashion/story-e6frf7jo-1225835805835|last=Williams |first=Felicity |date= 2 March 2010 |title=Retro snacks like Tasty Toobs and Samboy chips are back in fashion|work=Herald Sun (Melbourne)}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Some comedians sabotaged the Toobs Wikipedia page last night|url=http://www.sbs.com.au/comedy/fragment/some-comedians-sabotaged-toobs-wikipedia-page-last-night|publisher=SBS|accessdate=29 October 2015|date=13 June 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.smh.com.au/it-pro/aussie-icon-snack-tasty-toobs-gone-down-the-tube-20151009-gk5uxb|first=Neelima |last=Choahan |title=Beloved Aussie snack Tasty Toobs gone down the tube|work=The Sydney Morning Herald|date=10 October 2015|accessdate=29 October 2015}} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=McMahon|first1=Kate|title=Smiths axes Tasty Toobs chips because of low consumer demand|url=http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/smiths-axes-tasty-toobs-chips-because-of-low-consumer-demand/news-story/1e494a780351086dada37ffcfbe89659|accessdate=29 October 2015|work=Herald Sun (Melbourne)|date=10 October 2015}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://lightfm.com.au/lucy-and-kel/brekky-best-bits-tuesday-27th-october|title=Brekky Best Bits 27 October|work=89.9 LightFM|date=27 October 2015|at="Tasty Toobs Tuesday" SoundCloud file|accessdate=3 November 2015}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=Tasty Toobs, we should have paid you more attention while we could|url=http://www.news.com.au/finance/business/tasty-toobs-we-should-have-paid-you-more-attention-while-we-could/story-fnkgdftz-1227563862381|accessdate=29 October 2015|publisher=news.com.au|date=9 October 2015}} 8. ^{{cite news|last1=Donohoe|first1=Rose|title=Shane Warne’s campaign to save Aussie snack|url=http://thenewdaily.com.au/life/2015/10/12/warnies-plea-save-favourite-chip-brand/|accessdate=29 October 2015|work=NewDaily|date=12 October 2015}} 9. ^{{cite news|last1=Thomsen|first1=Simon|title=Shane Warne's just gone into bat for the canned Smiths snack Tasty Toobs|url=http://www.businessinsider.com.au/shane-warnes-just-gone-into-bat-for-the-canned-smiths-snack-tasty-toobs-2015-10|accessdate=29 October 2015|work=Business Insider Australia|date=13 October 2015}} 10. ^{{cite news|title=Smith's discretely announce discontinuation of Tasty Toobs |url=http://www.9news.com.au/national/2015/10/09/17/23/smiths-discretely-announce-discontinuation-of-tasty-toobs#AgAurbqKzJomMtIY.99|accessdate=30 October 2015|work=Nine News|date=9 October 2015}} 6 : Australian inventions|Products introduced in 1954|Australian snack foods|Deep fried foods|Potato dishes|Snack foods |
