Fritos brings back discontinued flavor after four years
FRITO fans can finally rejoice as the once discontinued Bar-B-Q flavor returns after its four-year absence.
Starting on September 19, major nationwide retailers will start carrying the favorite chip once again.
Frito-Lay describes the Bar-B-Q chips as a “tangy, flavor-packed twist on Fritos’ classic corn chip.”
A spokesperson told Today that it was inspired to bring the flavor back due to “fan love and consumer demand.”
The chips were originally discontinued back in 2018 leaving devoted snackers to take matters into their own hands.
A petition was started shortly after the flavor was discontinued and replaced with Honey BBQ Twists & Chili Cheese flavors.

Similarly, there was a successful petition to bring back Cheetos Flaming Hot Asteroids after social media users reached 90,000 signatures.
The coveted Bar-B-Q flavor will be available September 19 in the following sizes:
- For 9.25 oz. bag - $5.19
- For 3.5 oz. bag - $2.29
- For 1.0 oz. bag - 50 cents

More new flavors
The Frito-Lay brand is actually introducing three new flavors:
- Cheetos: Bolitas
- SunChips: Spicy Jalapeño and Southwestern Queso
- Popcorners: Cinnamon Crunch
The Cheetos Bolitas were previously only available in Mexico but were just released in the US last week at major retailers nationwide.
The chips are chile and cheese lime flavor bite-sized balls with that expected Cheetos crunch.
The SunChips brand debuted its two new flavors that stray from the classic flavors customers are used to.
The wavy, ripple-y squares of the Spicy Jalapeño flavor are bold and tangy while the Black Bean Spicy Jalapeño has the perfect amount of chipotle pepper flavor.
The chips are available at most nationwide retailers.
Lastly, the Cinnamon Crunch flavor from Popcorners has just the right amount of cinnamon and brown sugar if a savory chip is your staple.
These sweet treats are also available in most retailers nationwide.
