Many thanks to DavidH who emailed me to let me know these crisps have become available.
Discos remind me of my school lunch boxes, and I don't think I've had any for years. It was nice then to buy them, and re-discover them. The new Bacon flavour is available in the multi-pack which comes with Salt and Vinegar and Cheese and Onion, so it is good to experience more items in the range too.
The first thing I noticed was that on the back of the packet they are described as 'crunchy snacks' not 'potato snacks' a quick look at the ingredients list reveals the reasoning and it is because they contain a substantial amount of wheat too. This wheat does give them a lovely wholesome texture that seems to make them quite moreish. The flavour itself is smoky, salty and meaty and really does the job. A lovely new addition to the Discos range, and I’m looking forward to re-experiencing the original flavours.

I had these a few weeks ago and the problem I found with this flavour is it left my mouth feeling dry. I only really get discos for the S+V flavour and usually they turn out to be disappointing but every now and then you get a packet that's so salty that just tastes awesome. ( bad for you I know)
When I was at school, Discos brought out some sort of toxic version or something which contained a packet of the flavouring like that of the more common salt and shake crisps. I used to put all the flavouring on 1 single crisp and enjoy that overpowering salty flavour. Those were the days.
I don't remember Discos having flavour sachets. But, hang on - you put the ENTIRE flavour on one crisp!!! Wow, I'm impressed! A little shocked, but impressed all the same! :-D
They brought out a special limited edition about a decade ago, can't remember what they were called but I remember the toxic logo was on them.
I love Dicsos but have only ever had the salt and vinegar variety so I must give these a go!
Also, praise the Lord for the return of the Wispa Gold!!
Still can't find much on the 'toxic' flavour, but other people I've spoken to do seem to remember them.
I bought a multi-bag of Discos, and have been enjoying all the flavours, the salt and vinegar are good.
And yep, Wispa Gold = heaven!
