What Are Pom-Bears?
Pom-Bears are light and airy snacks made from potatoes. Their special bear shape makes them easy to spot and fun to eat! They are known for their gentle crunch and tasty flavors.
Where Do Pom-Bears Come From?
These bear-shaped snacks are made by a company called Intersnack. They are produced in a town called Doetinchem in the Netherlands. Pom-Bears are very popular and are sold in more than 30 countries across Europe!
The first Pom-Bears were introduced in Germany in 1987. In Germany, they are called Pom-Bär. A few years later, in 1990, they arrived in the United Kingdom, where they quickly became a favorite snack.
What Flavors Can You Find?
Pom-Bears come in several yummy flavors. The three main ones you'll often see are:
- Original (a classic potato flavor)
- Cheese and onion
- Salt and vinegar
Sometimes, you might find special flavors that are only sold in certain regions or for a limited time. Over the years, there have even been fun limited-edition shapes, like snowmen, and exciting flavors, such as pizza!
Pom-Bear and Healthy Choices
In 2008, a group in the UK called the Consumers Association looked at snacks like Pom-Bears. This group helps people make good choices about what they buy. They pointed out that the smiling bear on the Pom-Bear packaging might make children want to eat snacks that weren't always the healthiest.
The company that makes Pom-Bears listened to these concerns. They worked to make their snacks a better choice by reducing the amount of certain fats in the product. This showed they cared about offering snacks that fit into a balanced diet.
Pom-Bear in Movies
In 2010, Pom-Bear snacks even appeared on the big screen! A special advertisement featuring a 3D Pom-Bear character was shown in movie theaters. You might have seen it before popular animated films like Shrek Forever After and Toy Story 3.
