Phileas Fogg snacks

Phileas Fogg Ltd is a company that produces snack products in the United Kingdom that was created in 1982 by Derwent Valley Foods.

The brand is named for Phileas Fogg, the protagonist of Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days, and the products are made in Consett, County Durham.

When Derwent Valley Foods was sold in 1993, its products were rebranded but poorly received, leading to a decline in popularity.

The Phileas Fogg snack range was launched in 1982 by Derwent Valley Foods,[1] a company founded by Roger McKechnie,[2] Keith Gill, Ray McGhee and John Pike, who invested £67,000 of their own money.

[3][2] The four founders left after the sale[2] while United Biscuits made significant changes to the packaging and identity, precipitating a decline in popularity.
