    Pensavo di aver allucinato questo libro esistente ma in realtà lo fa. Perché questo paese era così ossessionato dal signor Tayto ad un certo punto?

      It’s like one of those reddit Ireland shit-posting sprees that gets out of hand. It would be quaint if it had not become twee.

      We weren’t. Taytos are delicious, but this book is Maia Dunphy’s agency (NK Management, as it happens) looking for something to do with her. Beloved snack from childhood? That’ll do.

      Tayto was doing bad during the recession. A businessman (forget his name) bought the company (along with a German snack company). His idea to turn the company around was to promote Taytoman heavily as a marketing exercise. He had Taytoman appear in public, riding around on tractors and the like and other similar stunts. He also built Tayto park, which he owned himself but had a sponsorship from Tayto. He turned the company around, and the German snack company bought out his share of Tayto. He died and not too long after the German company cancelled the Tayto park sponsorship, so they renamed to Emerald park.

      If I had a time machine, i’d skip right over the taytomania in favour of the Jedward mania 😎

      What do you mean at one point? Large majority still are

      I have a vague memory of when this book came out that there were book signing events in Easons with Frank Kelly (Father Jack) signing the book. A weird, weird time.

      Was going to say you’re being hyperbolic, but I literally just had a packet there a minute ago…

      That’s a nice blast from the past. I remember seeing this book before. Never read it before but it looks very familiar. Reminds of the tayto crisps bars too.

      It was during the early days of Irelands flirtation with meme culture

      I read this book in its entirety as a child – why I cannot say but my god I must have been bored.

      It’s written in Mr Tayto’s voice.
