Australian Tazos

Tazos were first released in Australia in 1995 with the Looney Tunes set; since then, the Tazo series has grown with various themes, which include various Simpsons sets, Beyblades, Star Wars, Marvel Heroes and ended in 2008 with AFL and NRL footy sets.

Tazo identification[]

Tazos were released in Smith's Snackfood products and can be identified with the official Tazo logo in capitals on all packaging and back of each disc, with the name Tazo with the "O" in Tazo hitting a stack of 3 Tazos. Discs without the branding on the back are not considered official Tazos; the only exception is the Simpsons Tazo Pickers (2002) set, which was a joint venture between Smith's Snackfood Company and Australian company Hot Shots, all the Tazos released by Smith's Snackfood products have the Tazo logo. The Hot Shots discs were released as "Pickers" only.

Over the years there have been similar cards offered by other companies in packets of chips like Pokémon, Digimon and The Lord Of The Rings; however, these have not been marketed under the Tazo brand in Australia and aren't considered an official Tazo product.
