Shoppers delighted as discontinued KP crisps return to shelves after 14 years

Shoppers have been made up to see some of their favourite crisps return to shelves after being discontinued 14 years ago.

KP's Scampi 'n' Lemon Nik Naks have been spotted in certain stores across the UK in recent weeks. The flavour was phased out back in 2008 to make room for a new Pickle 'n' Onion flavour.

The Scampi 'n' Lemon crisps have made a comeback in their signature green packaging as fans hope they "haven't changed" the intense flavour they remember.

A Reddit user posted their pleasing find to the social media app. They shared an image of the trademark packaging, with the caption: "Well well well, look who's back in town! A lot has changed old friend, but I dearly hope you have not."

Crisp lovers were delighted and eager to rush out to get their hand on some themselves. One Reddit user said: "I'm buying like 50 bags tomorrow."

Another said: "Looks like I'm going to go hunting tomorrow for a few packets." Meanwhile, a third added: "The best flavour. I thought I'd never see these again."

If you're wondering where to get them then it appears the Co-Op and smaller shops stock them. One Twitter user said: "And the Lord said: Let there be Lemon & Scampi Nik Naks at the local Co-Op. And so it was done."

Another added: "It seems be be easier to find them in corner shops than supermarkets." A third said: "One stop, a quid each for a grab bag."
