Crisp fans are rejoicing after finding out that a beloved classic will be returning to UK shelves – some 20 years after being discontinued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pickled Onion Discos, owned by KP Snacks, were taken off shop shelves way back in 2005.<\/p>\n

But now, they will be coming back in a highly-anticipated return, with the tangy flavour destined to return to shops on August 27.<\/p>\n

In 2022, several X (formerly Twitter<\/a>) users spoke wistfully of the discontinued flavour.<\/p>\n

One said: ‘Pickled onion disco were the best.’<\/p>\n

Another agreed, writing: ‘Bring back Pickled Onion Disco crisps.’<\/p>\n

In 2023, another agreed, saying: ‘Disco’s pickled onion. Was the underrated best crisp. RIP.’<\/p>\n

The snack had such a cult following, that in October 2017, a Change.org petition was launched calling for their return.<\/p>\n

The petition was promoted on Reddit, where\u00a0\u00a0crisp fans<\/a>\u00a0on Reddit in 2023, where snack fans discussed their disappointment that the snack had been discontinued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One wrote: ‘Loved these growing up.\u00a0They replaced it with Prawn Cocktail many years ago and while it is nice… It does not hold a candle to the mouth watering taste orgasm of pickled onion discos.<\/p>\n

‘I found a petition to bring them back […] This is an important cause folks. Maybe one day we will have those pickle drenched salty discs melting on our tongues once more.’<\/p>\n

Another added: ‘These were THEE best crisps to ever exist. Point blank. Period.’<\/p>\n

‘They used to make my tongue bleed but I loved them,’ another admitted.<\/p>\n

In a similar vein, another wrote: ‘Used to eat 5 packets at a time, they were 20p a pack back then!’<\/p>\n

One Redditor said: ‘Bring back most pickled onion crisps. So rare nowadays.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I dream of these coming back every day. Best thing to do is to email KP. The more people that email showing interest the more likely they are to return,’ a further Redditor sagely advised.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now these fans will no doubt be delighted at confirmation that the snack will be back.<\/p>\n

She 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.<\/p>\n

\u2018Whether you\u2019ve loved them forever or you\u2019re just discovering their iconic punch, we can\u2019t wait for you to tear open a bag and try them.\u2019<\/p>\n

However, while the flavour is the same, one thing is changing – the price tag.<\/p>\n

According to shoppers, the crisps used to cost 20p a bag.<\/p>\n

When they return at the end of August, they will reportedly have an RRP of\u00a0\u00a0\u00a31.35 for a 70g bag.\u00a0<\/p>\n
