CC's
CC's is a brand of flavoured tortilla chips produced since the early 1980s, originally by The Smith's Snackfood Company, and currently by Snack Brands Australia. CC's are predominantly sold in Australia and come in assorted flavours. CC's were also sold in New Zealand until Bluebird Foods decided to locally produce the American brand Doritos in March 2010. However, the CC's brand returned to New Zealand shelves for a limited run in 2019. CC's are 100% Australian manufactured.
The chips are made of ground corn, vegetable oil, and seasoning. The full ingredients list is vegetable oils, milk solids, food acids, flavour enhancers, starch, vegetable powders, salt, sugar, herbs, spice, flavour, yeast extract, vegetable extract, antioxidants.
Flavours
CC's have four main flavours, original, tasty cheese, Tangy Salsa and nacho cheese. From time to time, CC's release tangy BBQ flavor.Promotion
CC's have been marketing with the tagline "You can't say no" since the beginning of 1980s, with the most notable campaign featuring The Simpsons during 1998. Since Arnotts sale of Snack Foods Limited, CC's have been marketed as being 100% Australian owned and made.''Simpsons'' commercials
In June 1998, The Simpsons featured on a set of television commercials with each commercial involving Homer Simpson wanting Bart Simpson's CC's, so Bart would make Homer do an outlandish stunt to get them. Homer would never succeed because of Bart. Each commercial ended with a pun on the famous tagline "You can't say no" with Dan Castellaneta saying "CC's, you can't say..." and then Homer would say "D'oh!".These adverts were similar to the Butterfinger adverts that aired in the United States from 1988 to 2001. Even though the commercials only ran on Australian television, they have been included in the DVD release of The Simpsons Season 10.
