Co-op dill-ivers pickle crisps in response to viral trend
20 April 2026
Co-op is set to wow shoppers with a dill-icious first to market launch joining its iconic crisps range – Dill Pickle Ridge Cut Crisps (£1.70, 150g) – inspired by one of TikTok’s hottest food trends.
Available now as part of the convenience retailer’s 2026 summer range, the launch caters to the nation’s love for tangy flavours and jumps on the pickle trend which has taken food culture and social media by storm – boasting a crunchy ridge cut shape coated with a combination of the aromatic flavours of dill and the sharp vinegary tang of pickles to create the ultimate potato snack.
Last year alone Co-op sold over 10 million bags of its own brand crisps and with searches for ‘pickle’ on Co-op’s website up by 152%*, shoppers will need to be quick as these crisps are available for a limited time, and for the summer only.
Natalie Dawe, Co-op’s Product Developer Manager for Crisps, Snacks and Nuts said:
“Pickles are having a huge moment and our new crisps hits that bold, tangy sweet spot shoppers can’t get enough of. We know our crisps are cult classics, so we’ve taken a trend that’s exploding online and turned it into something that feels right at home in our range. These crisps deliver great flavour, loads of crunch, and exactly the kind of fun, trend focused twist the nation loves. Plus, they’ll be joined by a fantastic selection of snacks we’re sure will be summer favourites for our shoppers!”
