About Combos
Combos are filled pretzel or cracker tubes with cheese or pizza-flavoured centres, launched in 1976 and sold heavily through convenience stores and petrol stations rather than supermarkets. Mars owns the brand, and its distribution through fuel stops rather than grocery makes it unusual among the company's snack products.
