Crisp fans are buzzing after spotting a popular flavour of crisps on Aldi's shelves for the first time – and are now rushing to get their hands on a bag.
Viral snack brand Takis has brought its blue rolled tortilla chips to the UK to tap into shoppers' "continued demand for spicy snacks." The Blue Heat Takis, which is the second top-selling flavour in the US, are described as "an explosive combination of chilli and lime flavours".
Fans are buzzing after the treats are rolling out into UK stores - joining the UK's existing Takis' line-up including Fuego, Dragon Sweet Chilli and Fuego. They have already been launched in Co-Op and Morrisons will join the stock list next month, from April 2. The 55g bag, priced at £1.25 will be available in convenience stores this month as well.
Recently, the crisps landed at Aldi, setting customers back £2.99 for a large bag. Sharing the news on Instagram, Aldi said: "You asked, we delivered! Takis Blue Heat have landed in Aldi for £2.99! Who's ready to turn up the heat?"

Fans rushed to comment on the announcement, as one said: "Yes, finally." Another added: "Picked some up yesterday just had to get my hands on these!"
"What a beautiful time to be alive," said another. "Oh yes," said another. "OMG," said another. One other said they were "drooling". Some people warned that the treats are not for the faint hearted; they are very hot.
One individual warned: "Extreme Takis should come with a warning from the chief medical officer."
In other crisp news, Walkers issued an apology this week after crisp enthusiasts were left upset because of the limited availability of a returning favourite flavour.
Walkers have now announced Worcester Sauce crisps will be making a comeback. But when it emerged that the sought-after flavour was only available in Worcestershire, fans took to social media again, insisting on a nationwide release – with some even claiming they had travelled to the county to get their hands on a bag.
Walkers have now issued an apology for the limited availability of the crisps and has decided to make the Worcester Sauce flavour crisps available to purchase across the whole of the UK.
