Major UK crisp brand launches two new flavours and confirms exact date they hit shelves
Crisp fans are in for a real treat as Popchips have announced two brand new flavours hitting shelves. Popchips, branded as a 'healthier' snack have released two brand new bold flavours - peri peri chicken and chargrilled steak. Popchips are kept away from fryers and are instead cooked in a special 'pressurised chamber' and then quickly released - making them healthier than a poacket of crisps.
Now KP Snacks, owner of the Popchips brand has announced the brand new offerings available now and joun the popular line-up including barbeque, sour cream & onion, sea salt & vinegar, and sea salt.
Peri Peri Chicken combines the aromatic zest of herbs and savoury roast chicken, finished with a tangy burst of lime and a gentle lingering heat. For those craving a meaty crunch, Chargrilled Steak brings rich, savoury roast beef notes with a light, salty finish.
Jill Leslie, assistant brand manager at popchips, said ahead of the launch: "We're really excited to introduce our latest poppin' flavours of Peri Peri Chicken and Chargrilled Steak, and can't wait for everyone to try them when they hit the shelves on July 14. Whether you're looking for a quick snack or sharing with friends, these flavours are sure to add a pop of fun to any occasion.'
It's not the only crisp flavour KP Snacks have announced recently. A nostalgic and tangy crisp flavour is making a bold comeback after last being on the shelves 20 years ago, with an exact return date confirmed.
Discos, the crisps owned by KP Snacks, is returning with the popular pickled onion flavour, which was last seen back in 2005, and people are chuffed. And the good news is, the return of the iconic flavour is here to stay. Fans will find the pickled onion flavoured Discos in convenience stores across the UK from August 27, and they will be priced at £1.35 for a 70g bag.
Brits were so heartbroken about the disapperance of the flavour, one passionate individual went to the extreme of trying to persuade KP Snacks to bring them back some 12 years after they disappeared from shelves.
Launching a Change.org petition, the super-fan wrote: "These crisps were by far the best tasting pickled onion crisps on the market! Fellow crisp lovers help bring these back! KP can you not bring them back for a trial Halloween?!"
The petition was signed by 428 supporters who all agreed they should return in what was described as an "important cause". Back in 2024, one person took to X to call Discos the "best ever" in a post and gushed: "As a nation, we don't give enough credit to Discos for being some of the best crisps around."
Another crisp lover chimed: "I'd sell my soul for a pack of picked onion discos..." 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."

I make a fortune selling my HAIR to random men online – I took my braids out & one bloke sent me £800 just to sniff them
Lateisha also makes cash from selling old earbuds and foot masks HAIR THIS I make a fortune selling my HAIR to random men online – I took my braids out & one bloke sent me £800 just to sniff them Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN has revealed that she makes hundreds by selling her braids to random men online. Lateisha Jones, 24, has a very unconventional approach to making cash, and previously revealed that she flogs her used foot masks and earbuds online.

Taking to TikTok Lateisha explained that every six to eight weeks, she takes out her braids, and sends them to one specific customer. She said that people always assume that this man must be "old" or "weird. However, she described him as a "regular road man" in his twenties. Explaining what the man wants the braids for, Lateisha revealed: "He smells the braids and does his business." The TikToker revealed that she knows some people are attracted to the smell of unwashed hair, although she added that this is not a scent that pleases herself. "Because my braids are attached to my head, and they are in for so long, they have the unwashed hair smell", she said. Lateisha added that people always ask her whether she is concerned about pieces of her real hair getting mixed in with the braids she sends to the stranger. However, she said that this doesn't bother her as "he's not a serial killer, and he's not going to plant me at a crime scene." In a second video, Lateisha showed herself packing up the hair, and writing a "cute" card to send to the man. I earn cash by selling 'actual rubbish' on eBay - I flogged a freebie I found on the floor by a bin for £10, it's crazy "Hope they smell as good as they looked on my head", she said, adding a lipstick kiss to the card. Lateisha then showed screenshot of her bank account, revealing that the man had deposited £800 in her account for the braids. The video, posted to her account @latieshajbackup, has likely left many people impressed, as it racked up a whopping 105,000 views on the video sharing platform. TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts on her unique side hustle. Side hustles in numbers Based on new research from Finder, an estimated 22.8 million Brits are using side hustles to top up their income. Among those aged 18-23, 68 percent have a side hustle in 2024. Those aged 24-42 aren't far behind, with 65 per cent having an additional source of income. Side hustles are less popular among older generations, with 40 percent of those aged 43-54 having one. Whereas 23 percent of people aged 55-73 and just 7 per cent of those aged 74 and over are earning extra cash this way. One person said: "I've found my dream career!" A second said: "I'm about to start selling my extensions!" A third added: "How do I start this!"

I'm an ex-soap star & my voice is now world famous due to viral ads… but I'm terrified of being sacked
Zoë said she was crying to her husband two weeks ago about the direction of her life STAR VOICE I'm an ex-soap star & my voice is now world famous due to viral ads… but I'm terrified of being sacked Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN EX-soap star has spoken out after a catchphrase she recorded for a TV advert unexpectedly turned her into a global sensation. Many people might recognise actress Zoë Lister, 43, from her four-year stint on Hollyoaks until 2010 - but to millions more, she's the current voice behind an iconic airline ad campaign. 11 Zoë Lister met up with The Sun this week for an exclusive chat Credit: Louis Wood 11 Her voice over has gone viral on TikTok Credit: Instagram 11 Zoë appeared in Hollyoaks for four years until 2010 Credit: Channel 4 The voice actor started recording voice-overs for Jet2 in 2019, with commercials played between episodes of ITV series Love Island. But now her famous phrase, "Nothing beats a Jet2 Holiday" - from an advert first broadcast last year - is being clipped and used by hundreds of thousands of fans on TikTok and Instagram. Zoë has given an insight into a whirlwind few weeks after her lines from the popular commercial went viral on social media. The catchphrase has been described as the sound of the summer after social media users started dubbing the track over clips showing Brits brawling abroad and turbulent flights. The craze got to a point where Zoë believed it would spell the end of her Jet2 career. In an exclusive interview with The Sun, the mum-of-two admitted she is still dumbfounded by her sudden fame. She joked: "It's all a bit silly, isn't it? "It was just a voiceover. I've done these voice overs for several years for Jet2, and this was just a new campaign. "And it was the Nothing Beats a Jet2 holiday line. That was the slogan. "I'd never in a million years think that that this was going to be the thing to go viral." Watch the moment Jess Glynne finally meets Jet2 voiceover star after TikTok trend goes viral Zoë continued: "It's annoying me probably the same as everybody else right now. "My friends and family are just sending me videos all the time, but everyone's just along for the ride." She said things "got super weird" when she was on a train last week and heard several people listening to the catchphrase on their phones. "But we're all just really enjoying it because it's just silly, it's stupid joy, and that's what we all need," Zoë said. "It's time limited, but for now, I'm just enjoying the ride. I'm having a really fun summer." My friends and family are just sending me videos all the time, but everyone's just along for the ride. Zoë Lister The sound even interrupted an important anniversary meal for Zoë and her husband, who overheard another table quoting it. She added: "I was out for dinner with my husband because we were celebrating our 10-year anniversary. "But there was clearly some more dominant stuff going on at the time! "We were sat there and the next door table were doing their own video of Jet2 holidays, doing all the voices. 11 Zoë has been doing voice overs for Jet2 since 2019 Credit: Alamy 11 Zoë feared the worst when her voice suddenly went viral Credit: Louis Wood 11 She was delighted when Jet2 renewed her contract Credit: Louis Wood "And my husband was like, 'do you want to meet the woman that has the voice?'. "He's leaning into it now. It was really funny. It was a good moment for all of us," said Zoë. Referring to the catchphrase suddenly going viral, she continued: "Things started to get weird last year. People would send me videos of terrible turbulence with my really happy voiceover over the top. "It was really funny, but I was really certain that Jet2 were going to rebrand. I didn't know what they were thinking about the viral stuff. "I'm not joking, two weeks ago, I was crying to my husband about the direction of my life. "I didn't know where they (Jet2) were going. I was hoping they had a sense of humour," she said. "And then it's just gone really positive and joyful. And I'm all about the joy. "I went to Leeds Pride with them at the weekend and performed on stage. It was great." Jess Glynne Popstar Jess Glynne, 35, sings the iconic Hold My Hand backing track for the proper advert. Earlier this week, Zoë was invited onto the Capital breakfast show, hosted by Jordan North, to link up with the singer for the first time. The pair had previously never met, despite the 2015 hit being the theme song for Jet2 for a decade. In a video posted to Instagram, Jordan was so excited that he squealed it was "finally happening" ahead of the two women meeting. "It's happening! It's happening!" he screamed, as Zoë entered the studio and gave Jess a hug. While in the studio, Zoë gave an impromptu live performance of her famous voice over while Hold My Hand played in the background. Speaking on the experience, Zoë said: "I feel like the summer has been leading up to this point when Jess Glynne and I are in the same room. "(Capital) asked if I fancied coming on the breakfast show to talk about it. And I was like, all right. "Capital made it happen. I felt like I'd won a competition to be on there. "We met and it was hilarious. She's just a really cool popstar who didn't ask for any of this. "I suggested that I was kind of in her band now, but I don't think she agreed! 11 Zoë met Jess Glynne this week on Capitol Credit: CapitalOfficial/Instagram 11 Glynne's music has been used in the Jet2 ads for years goes Credit: CapitalOfficial/Instagram 11 Glynne performing at the Isle of Wight Festival earlier this summer Credit: The Mega Agency "Then on the show, Chris Stark said he was DJing that night and asked if I wanted to do a live performance of the Jet2 voiceover. "I was like, yes, let's go. I felt like a Spice Girl." Hitmaker Jess joked it was the "most amazing thing", before she recorded her own version of Zoë's famous voiceover. When quizzed on the origins of the slogan, she told The Sun: "We usually kind of work it a few times. "Especially the line, um, that's £200 off for a family of four because it is kind of so ridiculous. "We're like, how do we say this without being really patronising? "Because my normal speaking voice is not quite my voiceover. "I'm not selling people holidays in my day to day interactions! "I remember the sound engineer told me, 'you've just got to throw it away. Let them in on it like they're your friend'." Zoë is now looking at launching her own podcast on the back of her TikTok fame. She added: "I'm very grateful that Jet2 are going to re-sign my contract. "That was my number one priority. But I do other things, I'm a writer and an actor as well. "I started to make silly comedy videos on TikTok last year because this is the future now. "So I'll probably just keep putting videos out and see what emerges from that. "I haven't really done any acting for ages because I've had children. You just run out of time to be creative. "You don't have the time or energy to be able to do things in the hope that somebody might buy your script. "But I've been working on a podcast idea for ages. I think maybe now's the time, especially now that people absolutely know my voice. "This moment has just been really fun. Whatever happens is just unexpected and joyful. It's great." 11 Zoë at the 2009 British Soap Awards Credit: PA:Press Association
