Where have all the prawn cocktail crisps gone?!

I've been to five different supermarkets so far this week looking for them. What's happened to them? Who is hoarding/ bulk buying MY crisps?

Sorry, it's me. If you PM me your address I'll send you a packet.

I notice M&S have stopped stocking their amazing Kettle Chips style prawn cocktail. 😭

I've not seen them for a while now I come to think of it, but I don't specifically look for them as I don't like them.

Oh my gosh I’ve noticed the same! One of my faves! So annoyed I can’t find them either ha!

I’ve had to secure a bag, in what seemed like a covert operation, from the one shop that occasionally has them in stock for DD who is at Uni and can’t get them anywhere. It seems they are obviously in high demand or maybe going out of production?

Reading this to the tune of 'where have all the cowboys gone?'
It's not a perfect sync but it's now in my head 😂

ItWasntMyFault · 04/10/2023 17:10

Same here! I did manage to find one bag in Lidl the other week but other than that can't get them

Marmite27 · 04/10/2023 17:10

Don’t buy the Aldi ones, even if you can find them. They’ve changed the recipe and they’re disgusting now Sad

B+M had some Walkers ones and those crinkly ones (seasalt?) today.
I didn't buy any because I think they are gross....but where are the smokey bacon?

ForeverYellow · 04/10/2023 17:14

Have just bought a 6 pack
of Walkers in BM Bargains as they are my son’s favourite. There were lots .

Loads in our corner shop. Mind you-it does sell a lot of bizarre stuff!

CurlewKate · 04/10/2023 17:16

It's as if they go round the cash and carry with their eyes shut..

Spinet · 04/10/2023 17:17

I think they might all be in my tummy. Sorry.

Badbadbunny · 04/10/2023 17:17

Plenty in our corner shop too. Quavers, Walkers and Seabrook, all plentiful here! But then again, the shop is always exceptionally well stocked with loads of things that supermarkets don't stock.

Travellingraspberry · 04/10/2023 17:18

In the bin where they should be 🤢

FrippEnos · 04/10/2023 17:18

Had some pringles ones the other day and they were a let down, didn't taste the same as I remember.

icallitasplodge · 04/10/2023 17:19

Brexit ate them. Probably an ingredient that we can’t get anymore.

I'm glad some of you are having the sand issue - was beginning to take it personally!
