Background
Smash is a brand of instant mashed potatoes sold in the United Kingdom. Introduced in the 1960s by Cadbury and currently owned by Premier Foods, the brand is best known for their adverts featuring their mascots, the Smash Martians, which have become pop-culture icons of British television.
