Popular crisps brand brings back iconic flavour which rivals Walkers classic
Calbee UK has relaunched its Seabrook crinkle cut Tomato Ketchup bags to shopper fanfare.
Eaters can pick up packs of six 25g bags for £1.45 in Morrisons, with each bag containing 124 calories.
Shoppers can't get enough of the returning crisps, which are similar to Walkers' Tomato Ketchup bags, that were confirmed as re-launched in March after being axed in 2023.
Posting on Facebook, one said: "As a teenager I loved these, my bestie bought me a case of the loose bags for my birthday. Best crisps ever!"
Another commented: "If they are the same as before they were delicious."
Meanwhile a third added: "Wahoo got one xx they taste amazing in a sandwich for the added crunch."
A fourth, posting a photo of a pack after buying one, chipped in: "Finally got myself a bag of vintage."
The Sun has asked Calbee when the limited edition crisps re-launched and how long they are on sale for and we will update this story when we have heard back.
It comes just days after KP Snacks revealed it was bringing back Disco pickled onion, last seen on shelves in 2005.
The tangy snack is being launched in convenience stores across the UK from August 27 with a 70g bag costing £1.35.
Meanwhile, Aldi has confirmed it is bringing back "addictive" crisps in a matter of months after they were axed.
Which chocolate bars have been discontinued in the UK?
Shoppers can buy the 105g bag of the Specially Selected Prawn Cocktail crisps for £1.05.
OTHER ITEMS MAKING A COMEBACK
Retailers often bring back nostalgic and previously discontinued items, based on customer demand and appetite.
Meanwhile, 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, are available from Sainsbury's for £1.25.
Why are products axed or recipes changed?
ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders.
Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether.
They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers.
There are several reasons why this could be done.
For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes.
Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs.
They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable.
For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018.
It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version.
Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year.
Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks.
While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose.
In other retail news, Aldi is selling nostalgic childhood crisps for just 99p.
Plus, Tesco shoppers are rushing to buy a stunning"reduced to clear" item scanning for 40% off.

Cheapest supermarkets for Wimbledon strawberries and cream
But, the red berries aren't cheap, although a new study has revealed that Aldi provides the most budget-friendly option. Aldi offers the most affordable strawberries and cream at 58p per serving, 53% cheaper than the most expensive option. Lidl and Asda place second and third, at 62p and 63p per serving, respectively. Waitrose ranks as the most expensive retailer at 89p per serving for the iconic tennis tournament snack, 31p more than Aldi. The current batch of "wonky" strawberries in Aldi is BIG The study, by QR Code Generator, compared the cost of 100g of strawberries and 30ml of cream at major UK supermarkets, using each retailer's cheapest own-brand options, to find out where fans can recreate a decent portion of the classic tennis snack most affordably at home. Sainsbury's places fourth, with an overall serving cost of 75p, closely followed by Tesco, who charge 76p per portion of strawberries and cream. Both supermarkets charge 63p per 100g of strawberries; however, they differ in cream prices, with Sainsbury's single cream costing £1.25 for 300ml compared to Tesco's £1.30. This small difference in cream pricing results in a 1p difference in their per-serving costs. Morrisons places sixth, with a portion of strawberries and cream costing 79p, 21p more expensive than the same portion at Aldi. M&S places seventh, with a higher price per serving of 83p, making them the second most expensive option. At the other end of the scale, Waitrose was found to be the most expensive supermarket for strawberries and cream at 89p per serving, which is 53% more expensive than Aldi. This highlights how shopping around could save consumers over a third of the cost. Jo Lambell, founder of Beards & Daisies and author of The Unkillables says: "The pairing of Wimbledon and strawberries isn't just nostalgic, it's rooted in British horticultural history. "Strawberries were in season when Wimbledon was first held in 1877, and their association with summer, freshness, and British identity made them a natural fit. The addition of cream came later, cementing the combination as a luxurious seasonal treat.' Their visual appeal also plays a role. The bright red fruit juxtaposed with white cream and manicured green lawns makes for a media-friendly image, part of Wimbledon's brand identity. Like strawberries? You're in luck... Interestingly, nearly all the strawberries served at Wimbledon are locally sourced from Kent, reveals Jo. 'The berries are picked at dawn and delivered to the grounds by afternoon to guarantee peak freshness. This emphasis on local sourcing supports British agriculture and reduces food miles.' This year has seen the biggest and sweetest strawberries in years, many British growers have reported.
