Disco crisps will return to stores in a few weeks
The tangy snack will be sold in convenience stores across the UK from August 27, giving punters just a matter of weeks before they're reunited with the flavour.
Customers can expect to pay £1.35 for a 70g bag when they land in shops.
It will be good news for fans of the savoury delight, many of whom have been begging the British manufacturer to bring the product back.
In 2022, one passionate customer went as far as launching a Change.org petition.
The online plea got 428 signatures and was described as an "important cause".
Other snack lovers have described the flavour as the "the best crisps to ever exist".
And another loyal fan claimed they used to eat "five packets a day" when the product cost 20p.
But some customers were less impressed with one sharing that their "day was ruined" if the flavour was in their packed lunch for school.
Amy Heap, marketing manager at Discos said: "This legendary flavour has been a fan favourite for years, and its mouth-tingling tang is guaranteed to take your snack game to the next level.
"Whether you've loved them forever or you're just discovering their iconic punch, we can't wait for you to tear open a bag and try them."
We've outdone ourselves with this one' say Cadbury Ireland as they reveal new limited edition bar 'coming soon
MORE RETURNING PRODUCTS
Discos is not the only brand relaunching missed snacks.
White chocolate Maltesers made a grand return to shelves earlier this year after a 10-year hiatus.
A 30g bag is currently available to buy in Morrisons for £1.05, while a larger 74g pouch costs £1.75.
Elsewhere, Opal Fruits, which were rebranded as Starburst in 1998, will now be available across major UK retailers.
Customers will be able to purchase the treats from Sainsbury's, Tesco, and Morrisons stores for shoppers to enjoy a taste of nostalgia.

You can now get snacks and fresh foods delivered in 15 minutes, thanks to Amazon
Amazon has rolled out ultra-fast grocery deliveries across the UK. The move sees a partnership with US rapid delivery firm Gopuff. The collaboration means customers can order thousands of products, from alcohol to fresh food, to be delivered in under an hour - but often as quickly as 15 minutes. The service will be available round-the-clock, and executed using Gopuff delivery from local 'micro-fulfilment centres.' The Pennsylvania-based company was one of a clutch of ultra-fast grocery delivery companies that expanded quickly during the Covid-19 pandemic when lockdowns heightened consumer demand. Turkey-based rival Getir pulled out of the UK, Europe and the US last year after its finances came under pressure and it kickstarted a cost-cutting drive. Amazon's UK roll-out of Gopuff follows an initial launch to residents in Birmingham and Salford in May. The service is now available in Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Cardiff, Chessington, Coventry, Derby, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Salford, Sheffield and Swansea. It joins grocery retailers Morrisons and Iceland, which are available to Amazon's UK customers. Russell Jones, Amazon's director of grocery partnerships, said: 'We are always working to give customers more choice and more convenient options to have their groceries delivered. 'The new launch with Gopuff brings our customers access to a convenient and affordable way to access their everyday groceries.'

Has Labour abandoned the steel industry?
We will no doubt hear lots of familiar excuses if later this week, as seems increasingly likely, the British steel industry faces 50 per cent tariffs on its exports to the United States. There hasn't been enough time. The White House has been too busy, and so has the Prime Minister. The trouble is, none of them make sense. And so when these tariffs kick in, the Labour government, which we might expect to defend a traditional heavy industry, will have abandoned steel to its fate. When the 9 July deadline for the suspension of President Trump's tariffs expires, we can expect chaos in the global trading system. The EU's over-confident and arrogant negotiators have failed to reach a deal, leaving every exporter in the bloc facing huge tariffs from Thursday onwards. Amid all that, it might be easy to miss a small but still significant problem. The suspension of full tariffs on British-made steel will also come to an end, and, without an agreement, the industry will also face huge levies. This could be catastrophic for the industry. 'Every day of delay costs our steelmakers dearly,' argued UK Steel, the trade body for the industry. 'Contracts slip away, investment plans stall and uncertainty freezes business decisions'. It could hardly come at a worse time. The industry has already been hit by a barrage of green levies and targets. It has to face some of the highest industrial electricity prices in the world. The Budget last year imposed higher National Insurance charges on every person it employs. The list goes on and on. British Steel has already been taken under emergency control by the government after its Chinese owners gave up on it, and with 50 per cent tariffs the rest of the industry may give up as well. And yet, despite that, the government has not had the energy or commitment to negotiate an exemption for the UK, even though other exporters will face just 10 per cent tariffs in the US. There is a bigger point than just steel. The UK's industrial base is being wiped out, with almost every week bringing news of yet another closure. Last week it was the Prax Lindsey oil refinery and in the week before, Nippon Electric Glass announced the closure of the UK's largest fibreglass factory. Starmer's Labour government should be defending the interests of the people who worked in these kinds of jobs. Instead, it is complacently allowing the steel industry to be wiped out – and doesn't appear to care much about any other manufacturers either.

Tony Blair's staff took part in 'Gaza Riviera' project
Plans outlined in a slide deck, titled the 'Great Trust', were shared with the US president proposed paying half a million Palestinians to leave the area and replacing them with private investors to develop Gaza. According to the Financial Times, the Tony Blair Institute (TBI) did not author or endorse the final slide deck, but two members of its staff were involved in message groups and calls as the project developed. READ MORE: How the UK media are covering up British spy flights for Israel One 'lengthy' document on postwar Gaza, written by a TBI staff member, was reportedly shared within the group for consideration, according to people familiar with the work. The document included a proposal of a 'Gaza Riviera' with artificial islands off the coast, blockchain-based trade initiatives, a deep-water port to tie Gaza into the India-Middle East-Europe economic corridor, and low-tax 'special economic zones'. The TBI document reportedly claimed that Israel's devastating assault on Gaza had 'created a once-in-a-century opportunity to rebuild Gaza from first principles . . . as a secure, modern prosperous society'. Although the Israeli businessmen's slide deck, which is more than 30 pages long, differed from the paper written by TBI's staff, there was some similarity the Finacial Times reported. The institute's document did not refer to the relocation of Palestinians. When first approached by the Financial Times regarding TBI's role in the project, a spokesperson said: 'Your story is categorically wrong . . . TBI was not involved in the preparation of the deck, which was a BCG deck, and had no input whatever into its contents.' TBI were then provided details of a 12-person message group used for the project — including two TBI staff, BCG consultants and the Israeli businessmen — and an unpublished TBI document shared within the group titled 'Gaza Economic Blueprint'. A TBI spokesperson then said: 'We have never said TBI knew nothing about what this group was working on or that they weren't on calls in which the group discussed their plans.' TBI said that when meeting groups to discuss postwar plans, it is 'essentially in listening mode'. The 'internal TBI document' looked at proposals 'being made by various parties . . . [and] is one of many such internal documents'. 'TBI emphatically did not provide its own internal document for the purposes of the BCG work,' it added. TBI staff 'saw' the slide deck but 'didn't create it', the spokesperson said. 'It would be wrong to suggest that we were working with this group to produce their Gaza plan.' TBI said Blair had sought a 'better Gaza for Gazans' for the past two decades: 'It has never been about relocating Gazans, which is a proposal TBI has never authored, developed or endorsed.'
