Using the tagline ‘Feel the Zing’ to highlight Discos’ association with fun and tangy flavours, the new packs will begin rolling into stores this month. 

Pauline Warren, Heritage Portfolio Manager, KP Snacks, says: “Discos is a familiar and well-loved brand that has been providing great tasting snacks for decades.

Delivering great value, PMP formats continue to be a significant growth driver within the category, with £1.25 PMPs accounting for 61% of retailers’ sales.”
