Aldi prawn cocktail crisps have been discontinued
The savoury snack was made with British potatoes and part of its premium food range.
A packet cost around £1 and was only sold in Aldi.
Eagle-eyed customers took to social media to find out what happened to the delight.
Writing on X, one customer said: "What's happened to the prawn cocktail crisps? Bring them back please!."
A spokesperson confirmed in a response to the customer that the crisp flavour was no more.
They said: "We have discontinued this product. Sorry for any disappointment."
An Aldi spokesperson also told The Sun: 'We continually review our range of products to make sure we're meeting the needs of Aldi shoppers.
"We understand that some customers were disappointed to see the Specially Selected Prawn Cocktail Crisps go.
They added: "But the Snackrite Prawn Cocktail Crisps are a great alternative in our stores that continue to prove really popular with shoppers.'
The move will come as a blow to shoppers who have described them as "amazing" and "addictive".

Another fan said the crisps had the "most flavour" of any on the sad.
While a third said: "I'm not exaggerating to say they were the best I'd ever tasted (in any flavour). We need people to demand a return."
It is not the first time Aldi has axed a product customers love.
Aldi quietly removed the Specially Selected Caramel Layered Yogurt from its shelves.
Shoppers only discovered the yogurt was discontinued after failing to find it in their local shop.
