Discontinued Pickled Onion Discos crisps to make UK return
Discos are also part of the snack giant's range of products.
The popular crisps currently come in various flavours including Salt & Vinegar, Prawn Cocktail and Cheese & Onion.
Now, KP Snacks is set to bring back a previously discontinued flavour of Discos crisps - pickled onion.
Pickled Onion Discos crisps were first launched back in 1979 before being discontinued in 2005, much to the disappointment of fans.
Crisp lovers have spent the past 20 years praising the popular flavour and calling for its return.
One person, posting on Reddit group r/crisps, said: "These were THEE best crisps to ever exist. Point blank. Period."
Another added: "Used to eat 5 packets at a time, they were 20p a pack back then!"
A third person commented: "They used to make my tongue bleed but I loved them."
While this fan wrote: "Bring back most pickled onion crisps. So rare nowadays. Monster munch don't count."
It appears KP Snacks has finally listened, with Pickled Onion Discos crisps to be sold in convenience stores across the UK from August 27, according to The Sun.
Customers can expect to pay £1.35 for a 70g bag when they land in shops.
KP Snacks has been contacted for comment.
Pickled Onion Discos crisps are not the only discontinued product to have made a comeback in 2025.

JOB LOT Walkers owner plans to cut 500 jobs as part of huge factory restructuring plan Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE owner of Walkers could cut over 500 jobs as part of a major restructuring plan. PepsiCo is proposing to axe 560 roles, including 250 at its Walkers site in Leicester. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 PepsiCo could cut more than 500 jobs in the UK Credit: Alamy It is understood workers at sites in Coventry, Lincoln and Skelmersdale could also lose their jobs. Should staff be made redundant, some will be offered alternative roles within PepsiCo. A PepsiCo UK spokesperson said: "We recently told our teams that we will be consulting on proposed changes to our operational structure, affecting a proportion of employees at our snacks manufacturing sites in the UK, including Leicester. "No decisions will be made without first consulting affected employees and their representatives. "Our priority is providing support for our people throughout this process. 'The changes being proposed are intended to bring our UK sites in line with a different operating structure we have had success with at some of our other international sites, leading to better ways of working and increased technical capabilities.' The news, as first reported by Leicester Live, comes after US food giant PepsiCo announced a £24million investment in its Lincoln factory in 2021. In 2023, it pumped £58million into its Leicester site then the a further £13milion into its Coventry site last year. In total, the business has invested £140million into its UK sites since 2020, including £20million in 2024. It is not all bad news for Walkers lovers though, as the crisp brand recently brought out a new flavour. Shoppers can now get their hands on Red Leicester flavour Quavers from Premier stores. The never-before-seen flavour joins other fan favourites such as Cheese, Prawn Cocktail and BBQ.

Hundred eyes shirt-sponsor deals to rival Premier League
The £520m Hundred investment will help lure sponsors to rival the Premier League's, according to the dealmaker at the heart of the format's recent sale. KP Snacks' current arrangement for all teams could be plunged into doubt as commercially savvy new stakeholders push for new global brand partners. The crisps and nuts manufacturer this year secured an additional England team partnership but there is no confirmation Hundred team sponsorships will continue into 2026. The entire Hundred deal with KP has been valued in reports at £4m a year, which is dwarfed by £10m-plus deals commanded by even smaller top tier English football teams. Referring to all sponsorship opportunities rather than just shirt deals, Jason Schretter, head of European operations for the Raine Group, said teams should already be anticipating bigger commercial partners. 'A lot of the sponsorship in the Hundred overall has been quite local,' Schretter said in an interview with Telegraph Sport after playing a key role in raising around £520m via the sale of stakes in all eight teams this year. 'With this now [the arrival of new investors] and a global view on this competition, you could expect that the types of sponsors that will be a part of this will be in line with the Premier League or other global sports.' The Premier League, he concedes, 'draws massively more audience', but the Hundred, with its new investors, is nevertheless a 'compelling' for the biggest brands. Schretter added: 'In terms of the younger demographic, if you're a sponsor, families, kids, like, where else do you get that reach in sport.' A week ago, the England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed that six of eight team deals had been completed, with the purchases of stakes in Oval Invincibles and Trent Rockets to be finalised by the end of September. The investors in those two teams – the Ambani family (Mumbai Indians) and Cain International (which is fronted by the Chelsea joint owner Todd Boehly) respectively – effectively have a deadline of October 1 to complete the deals as they take operational control of the teams on that date. 'I'm excited about next wave of merchandise' Proceeds are already being redistributed to the counties by the ECB, but Schretter says the game has much more than just the immediate pay day to be excited about. 'If you look at the investors, just forgetting about pounds contributed, I don't think we could have gotten any better of a group,' he said. 'I mean it's really a who's who of sports investors.' The Sun Group, owner of Indian Premier League (IPL) side Sunrisers Hyderabad, has paid just over £100m for a 100 per cent stake in Northern Superchargers, who are based at Yorkshire's home Headingley. Indian company RPSG Group, which owns Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL and Durban's Super Giants in the SA20, has purchased 70 per cent of Manchester Originals, while GMR Group, which owns Delhi Capitals, has bought 49 per cent in Southern Brave. US-based groups Tech Titans (49 per cent), Knighthead Capital Management (49 per cent) and Washington Freedom (50 per cent) have completed purchases in London Spirit, Birmingham Phoenix and Welsh Fire, respectively. 'I think that the counties have a lot to offer in terms of understanding what the UK cricket experience is, but these partners have a lot to offer in terms of making the product better, making these things commercially more exciting,' Schretter says. 'I'm excited about the next wave of merchandise and everything that's going to come out.' Raine, which brokered the sales of Manchester United and Chelsea in recent years, overwhelmed some scepticism about their estimated valuation of the deal. However, Schretter, a founder partner in the group, said he had no trouble drumming up enthusiasm, despite a lack of cricketing knowledge in the US. 'I would say 90 per cent of the people that were in our process were people that we had already had strong relationships with,' he said. The Raine Group is also handling the sale of The Telegraph.

Popular crisps brand brings back iconic flavour which rivals McCoy's classic
A POPULAR crisps brand has brought back a limited-edition flavour that had fans going wild. Seabrook's Loaded Tasty Takeouts Burger crisps in the Sizzlin' Steak Burger Flavour will be landing back on Aldi shelves this week. The flavour was initially released as a limited edition back in April in Aldi's middle aisles. But after disappearing from shelves for a short time, it's now coming back again on Sunday. The packs cost £1.25 for 130g. They are also gluten free and vegan. Foodies spotted the crisps on shelves back in April, with some saying they were "very nice". One person commented: "It seems just when Walkers discontinue their range or flavours, Seabrook just bring out more choice." Popular Instagram reviewer John's Snack Reviews posted a review of the crisps previously, saying they tasted "like a big mac without the gerkin". He added: "It's got that musky chargrill with hints of beef along with the big mac burger flavour." At the time, Seabrook also brought out another flavour called Spicy Mexican Taco. It said both flavours were limited edition so "they won't be around for too long". Wake up to a weed-free lawn for months thanks to Aldi's £10 gadget that pulls them out without bending or kneeling down The Sizzlin' Steak Burger flavour could be a good dupe for McCoy's iconic Flame Grilled Steak crisps. You can get a multipack of six of these for £1.74 at Asda or currently £1.75 at Waitrose. Elsewhere they're £2.35 at Morrisons or Ocado. Reviewers say the McCoy version is "truly a household favourite" and "so delicious and moreish". Seabrook recently brought back another iconic flavour that rivalled a Walkers classic. The crinkle cut Tomato Ketchup crisps are available in Morrisons, where shoppers can pick up packs of six 25g bags for £1.45. The supermarket launched the limited-edition crisps in stores on May 19. They are similar to Walkers' Heinz Tomato Ketchup bags, which were confirmed as re-launched in March after being axed in 2023. 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.
