MCCOY'S has launched two new flavours and they are inspired by famous US fast food.
Shoppers can now tuck into Blazin' Buffalo Chicken Wings and Secret Burger Sauce inspired crisps.
The savoury delights are inspired by popular American fast food dishes and have been rolled out to celebrate its sponsorship of the NFL UK & Ireland.
The crisp brand is sponsoring the sport for the second year running.
Amy Heap, marketing manager at McCoy's says: 'McCoy's is famous for delivering bold flavours with an unbeatable crunch, and our latest NFL-inspired editions are no exception.
"We're super excited to be adding Blazin' Buffalo Chicken Wings and Secret Burger Sauce to our existing portfolio and can't wait to hear what McCoy's fans think!'
You can pick up a six pack of the snack for £2.25, with Tesco, Morrisons and Asda all appearing to stock the treat.
Single bags of the Blazin' Buffalo flavour will reportedly arrive in convenience retailers for £1.35 come early August.
It has been months since fans of the brand have got to try a new flavour.
The snack maker rolled out a new Hot 'N' Spicy Crisps last January.
And it is not the only new crisps flavour landing on supermarket shelves.
Discos is set to bring back its pickled onion flavour after it was last seen on shelves in 2005.
Walkers confirm they've discontinued fan favourite flavour
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.
Walkers has also launched new Red Leicester Quavers.
Fans have already been going wild for the new flavour, which is already available to buy from Premier stores and Farm Foods.
A single-serve bag currently costs £1.35.
MORE NEW AND RETURNING PRODUCTS
Cadbury has launched a new a new Bournville dark chocolate at Sainsbury's.
The treat is packed with chopped hazelnuts and has a luxurious salted caramel flavouring woven through each piece.
White chocolate Maltesers have also 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.
Aldi also said it would bring back its "addictive" Specially Selected Prawn Cocktail Crisps.
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.
