A host of much-loved snacks and drinks are returning to UK supermarket shelves this year, following campaigns from fans who mourned their disappearance. Brands including KP Snacks, Nestlé, Mars, M&S and Britvic have all responded to customer demand by bringing back discontinued items for limited periods.
KP Snacks announced in April that it would revive its Salt and Vinegar Discos, which were axed in 2020 due to falling sales. The crisps will be available this summer in multi-pack six-bag packs at stores such as B&M, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Farmfoods, priced at around £1.50.
Nestlé has also re-released its Caramac bar — a caramel-flavoured chocolate treat discontinued last year — for a limited time. Similarly, Milky Way Crispy Rolls, which Mars stopped making two years ago, have reappeared at Home Bargains stores.
M&S has brought back its 'reverse Percy' sweets, a twist on the original Percy Pigs with swapped gummy ears and foam faces, after a decade-long absence. Meanwhile, Tango confirmed last week that Cherry Sugar Free will return to Iceland stores nationwide from August, with a 500ml bottle priced at £1.99, two litres at £3.19, and eight cans at £5.29.
A Britvic spokesperson said: 'Gone are the days craving for a hint of Cherry flavour. Tango Cherry is here to remind you what real cherry tang should taste like. It’s bold, it’s invigorating, and it’s back.' The drink was originally discontinued in 2018.
