Tayto
These bags contain Tayto crisps. However, one packet is from the Republic of Ireland and the other is from Northern Ireland. They are produced from different companies, one based in Dublin, the other in Tandragee. One company was founded by Joe Murphy in 1954, the other by Thomas Hutchinson in 1956.If there is ever a united Ireland, these two companies will have to scrap it out to retain the brand name. This is just one of many problems arising from potential reunification.(Just so you know, the Northern Irish variety tastes better)

You're spot on there, the Southern ones just don't really do it for me. But Nordy Tayto... Now there's a crisp!
I hadn't realised they were separate companies though, I thought there were simply two factories. You lives and you learns...
BUT! I believe being unemployed in the Republic is more lucrative than in yonder North, so there's give and take. Plus we don't have as many nutters in office, just your common or garden crooks down here.
You eats your crisps and you takes your choice.
Perhaps unemployed northerners could use their Irish passport (to which they're entitled under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement)and claim dole from both countries? Worth looking into..
