Discontinued ‘best crisps to ever exist' are finally back on the shelves after 20 years
After 20 years off the shelves, crisp brand Discos is bringing back its pickled onion flavour. Owned by KP Snacks, pickled onion Discos were last seen on supermarket shelves way back in 2005, but they'll make a highly anticipated return to UK supermarkets on August 27. The news comes after snackers begged KP to reintroduce the flavour — there was even a petition launched. One fan said on Reddit: 'Loved [pickled onion Discos] growing up. 'They replaced it with Prawn Cocktail many years ago and while it is nice… it does not hold a candle to the mouth watering taste orgasm of pickled onion discos.' Others shared the same enthusiasm saying: 'These were THE best crisps to ever exist. Point blank. Period.' Another even said they 'used to eat 5 packets at a time.' Keep seeing this & its frustrating that pickled onion discos aren't there. By far used to be the best crisps ever 😭 — KerryAdair (@KerryAdairx) January 19, 2020 Kerry on X labelled pickled onion Discos 'the best crisps ever' while back in 2018, 13 years after the snack was last seen, @ScottMcGready wrote: 'I'm still really upset that @KPSnacks's pickled onion Discos got discontinued.' Another wrote: 'I am once again on my knees asking for pickled onion flavoured Discos to be brought back.' Amy Heap, marketing manager at Discos shared the excitement, saying: '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.' While shoppers claim they used to spend just 20p on the snack, its returning at a cost of £1.35 for a 70g bag. But Discos aren't the only one to be bringing back some discontinued goodies. Maltesers confirmed that the white chocolate version of the iconic treat was making a comeback after 11 years, and it's now in stores. First launched in 2003, White Chocolate Maltesers were a fan-favourite before being discontinued in 2014 and people have spent more than a decade begging for them to return. A retro 80s sweet has also returned to supermarkets – Opal Fruits. Today they're better known by a very different name, as they were rebranded as Starburst in the late 90s. The sweets are being sold in 138g pouches containing strawberry, lemon, orange and lime flavours. Do you have a story to share?
