When it launched in the 1960s, Smash was marketed as the product to free families from the domestic peeling, boiling and mashing spuds .
The brand of instant mashed potatoes, launched by Cadbury, was sold all over the UK. And many across Greater Manchester will remember having it in their cupboards at home.
The product was easy to prepare and customers would simply have to add boiling water to the potato flakes and stir. But the item itself is often remembered more so for its iconic TV advert.
