There's no denying the unique appeal of a bag of Nik Naks. The 41-year-old crisps have been a hit with shoppers since the 80s and have a unique appeal.
The savoury treats from KP Snacks have earned a legion of fans over the years and many would have been disappointed when the company discontinued the popular Scampi & Lemon variety 14 years ago. But shoppers were delighted to discover the return of the crisp flavour recently.
Taking to Facebook's Food Finds UK group, one shopper revealed that a certain brand of crisps were set to bring back a popular flavour. The Scampi 'n' Lemon flavoured Nik Naks crisps were phased out around 14 years ago back in 2008 to make room for another popular flavour, Pickle 'n' Onion, which has since been discontinued, EdinburghLive reports.
Although the lime packet can be purchased in multipacks, this particular flavour they cannot be bought separately.
The Facebook page shared the news and wrote: "Nik Naks Scampi & Lemon are coming back THIS WEEK in convenience stores! Keep your [eyes emoji] peeled! Thanks treatsinstore for the news."
The post racked up hundreds of likes and more than 700 comments. Beneath the popular photo, shoppers shared their excitement over the news.
One person said: "This is my favourite flavour Nik Naks" and a second wrote: "Yes! These were the best one!"
A third added: "Used to love these back in the day. Bloody gorgeous!!"
A fourth excited shopper said: "Best crisps ever!" and a fifth wrote: "bulk buy".
Others wrote: "omg I need these xxxxx" and "I love this flavour!"
Another added: "Definitely need to bring back the cheese ones."
Scampi 'n' Lemon Nik Naks are expected back in stores soon.
