Following overwhelming demand, the beloved crisps have at long last made their return to store shelves.

One eagle-eyed shopper was quick to spot the popular flavour in store, and took to Facebook to share the exciting news.
Writing on the Aldi UK Shoppers page, she said: “Been waiting all year for these to come back, soooo good.”
She also shared a photo of the Specially Selected German Pilsner Beer crinkle cut crisps.
Retailing for £1.15 a bag, the beer flavoured crisps have hit shelves just in time for Oktoberfest celebrations.
Shoppers are thrilled to see the return of this unique crisp flavour.
One user was quick to comment: “What could be better? Beer flavoured crisps!!!”
While another shared their review: “Had these last night, I really enjoyed them.”
One shopper also simply commented “Yum Yum!!!”
This isn’t the only flavour to make its coveted return to Aldi store shelves in recent months.
In August, The Sun reported on the comeback on another unique crisp offering that was dubbed by shoppers “the best flavour ever.”
Not only did the garlic bread crisps make their return to shelves, but they also had a makeover.
As part of the budget supermarket’s Italian Week shoppers were able to get their hands on the sell-out crisps once more.
However, garlic bread crisp enthusiasts were quick to spot the different packaging to fit alongside the other Italian products on offer.
The Garlic Bread crisps were last available in March as part of the Specially Selected range, and shoppers were sent into a frenzy.
But while the packaging might be different, the price remained the same this time round.
Customers could pick up a 150g bag for a bargain price of just £1.15.
After seeing the announcement, one shopper said: “I need to get down there.”
Failing to hold back their excitement, another said: “Italian Week at Aldi sounds amazing!
“I’m excited to try their gnocchi and pizza dip sauce, and the garlic bread crisps look so delicious!”
Another said: “These are the best ever flavour!”
How to save money on your food shop
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save hundreds of pounds a year:
Odd boxes – plenty of retailers offer slightly misshapen fruit and veg or surplus food at a discounted price.
Lidl sells five kilos of fruit and veg for just £1.50 through its Waste Not scheme while Aldi shoppers can get Too Good to Go bags which contain £10 worth of all kinds of products for £3.30.
Sainsbury’s also sells £2 “Taste Me, Don’t Waste Me” fruit and veg boxes to help shoppers reduced food waste and save cash.
Food waste apps – food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public.
Some of the most notable ones include Too Good to Go and Olio.
Too Good to Go’s app is free to sign up to and is used by millions of people across the UK, letting users buy food at a discount.
Olio works similarly, except users can collect both food and other household items for free from neighbours and businesses.
Yellow sticker bargains – yellow sticker bargains, sometimes orange and red in certain supermarkets, are a great way of getting food on the cheap.
But what time to head out to get the best deals varies depending on the retailer. You can see the best times for each supermarket here.
Super cheap bargains – sign up to bargain hunter Facebook groups like Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK where shoppers regularly post hauls they’ve found on the cheap, including food finds.
“Downshift” – you will almost always save money going for a supermarket’s own-brand economy lines rather than premium brands.
The move to lower-tier ranges, also known as “downshifting” and hailed by consumer expert Martin Lewis, could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your food shop.
