Well over here in Ibiza it's Frigo with the same swirly heart symbol.

Also we get both Walkers and Lays here, Lays are made by Smiths in the Netherlands

Now I'm confused

For the benefit of everyone, I am confused as to who owns or makes what as well. All I know is that you look at a pack of lays, and aside from the name, it has the same corporate ID as walkers. It's the same with the ice cream, so I have just assumed somewhere at the back of it all, it is all the same company in such cases. Indirectly they're probably own by Coke anway.......

Sorry Postdog - tomorrow I will walk to the village of Sta Eulalia del Rio and have a look in the shop for the ice-cream and then after all this effort I'll probably eat one!!!

[netibiza]

Hi there postdog - well in Spain Walls is definitely Frigo - in Portugal it is Ola - don't know about the crisps.

[filthiestfis]

Look: Walls ice cream has always been Frigo in Spain and still is today. No need for confusion!

Just goes to show the lack intelligence of some people-worrying about names of luxury foods while half the world is dying of hunger
