There is going to be a strike at KP foods so there won’t be any Pom Bears for a while. What are we going to do? It will be naice ham next.

The Tesco bunnies are delicious!

Forgottenmyphone · 10/02/2026 11:53

I’m more concerned about the Hula Hoops!
All the major supermarkets have their own version of Pom Bears - Tesco has bunnies, Asda has monkeys and Sainsburys has lions!

And McCoys 😢

Forget the salt and vinegar, no flame grilled steak McCoy's!

There are plenty of good salt and vinegars out there, McCoys are the only ones who can do steak flavoured properly

KP are quite likely making the supermarket own brands! So stock up now.

If the strike goes on for long, you may need to have a trip to France or Belgium to buy locally produced Pom Bears, the sacrifices we have to make for our children.

😯 the only ones I like

YouAndMeDays · 10/02/2026 12:17

I am panic buying McCoy's right now!!! 🙀

NimbleMoose · 10/02/2026 12:20

Oo I was also going to suggest the Tesco Bunnies but now I’m wondering if they’re made in the same factory as Pom Bears!?

Pom Bears are the gateway crisps for kids... evil, yummy, things...

spiderlight · 10/02/2026 13:16

Aldi's fake ready salted Pringles taste exactly like Pom Bears. Obviously they don't have the same texture, but you could say they were special PomBears that had been run over by a steamroller and combine a tasty snack with a road safety lesson.

Danikm151 · 10/02/2026 13:19

Forget about Pom bears… Snaps have fully gone

GinaXExperience · 10/02/2026 17:52

They already got rid of the green packet ones and replaced them with new horrible ones in yellow packet. I don’t care about the red ones. They were always meh.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 10/02/2026 17:57

Lindt make chocolate bears, they make an excellent substitute IMO. 🐻

WimbyAce · 10/02/2026 22:41

Morrisons have Dexter Dogs 😅

I can not be without the giant Hula Hoops... the beef ones. Life would not be worth living without those!

I can confirm they do as, last year there was a supermarket-branded packet of ‘hoops’ in my multipack
