Five supermarket chips you'll never see again and customers are begging for their favorite flavors to return

DESPITE new flavors and types of potato chips constantly popping up, some people still crave chips that have been discontinued.

All across the globe chips are a staple when it comes to snacking.

Doritos, Cheetos, Fritos, and all of the other -itos are just a small portion of the seemingly endless amount of chips.

Because of the constant innovation, not all flavors stick around forever.

Customers may move on to newer and better flavors leading to a drop in sales, while other options never really drew a crowd in the first place.

Regardless of how long they've been off shelves, fans continue to beg for their favorites back.

The U.S. Sun rounded up five chips that are no longer in stores, but still in our hearts.

1. CHEETOS SALSA CON QUESO

This flavor was a huge hit as it was offered in the extremely popular crunchy Cheeto option.

Hints of spice, lime, and tomato were added to the iconic cheese seasoning.

Fans should have known not to get attached as a label on the bag read: "Limited time only."

2. GOOD & GATHER PARMESAN GARLIC KETTLE CHIPS

One fan of these chips tweeted that they were "inconsolable" upon finding out they were discontinued.

The snack was especially popular as it was gluten-free.

On Target's website, several customers left reviews begging the store to keep them in stock.

"These are my absolute favorite chips and I've been looking for them for months! Please don't discontinue them," wrote one person.

Unfortunately, the Target-exclusive chips are listed as sold out on the site.

3. RUFFLES SMOKEHOUSE BARBECUE CHIPS

Fans were gutted when these were pulled from shelves.

"I will never stop talking about these chips and how they are discontinued," one disappointed fan tweeted.

They first popped up in 2019 and were an instant hit.

It's hard to imagine why they were discontinued, but all good things must come to an end.

4. KEEBLER PIZZARIAS PIZZA CHIPS

These were not potato chips, but rather made of pizza dough.

The dough was baked to a crisp and topped with a powerful blend of pizza seasonings to perfectly mimic the iconic flavor.

After launching in 1991, the snack remained a hit until it disappeared from shelves in 2000 - leaving many fans scratching their heads.

“These are it. This is where we went wrong,” one Redditor said regarding the discontinuation.

“They never should have left…”

Another wrote: “These were the absolute best snack food. A Friday night bag (or three) of Pizzarias and some USA: Up All Night. So good!”

5. TAPATIO DORITOS

Tapatio is a hot sauce that is loved by fans all around the world.

Of course, it pairs great with crunchy, cheesy Doritos.

"Tapatio Doritos are by far the best," one die-hard fan tweeted.

Upon hearing the flavor would only be available for a limited time, a customer left a review on the Doritos website saying; "If I had known that, I would have bought 20 bags or so."

In late 2022 through early 2023, customers started sharing that they hadn't been able to find the chips.

However, if you're willing to shell out upwards of $20 for a single bag you can find several options on eBay.

Oreo fans recently found a previously discontinued cookie is back on shelves, and they're buying it in bulk.

Plus, what Hershey had to say to customers who were willing to buy "100 boxes" of discontinued snacks.
