Iceland Frozen Food Based on Crisps; McCoys & Hula Hoops!

Little Miss Kat · 23-09-2013, 20:52

Anyone seen these yet?

Iceland have frozen potato products based on famous brands of crisps. There are two flavours of the frozen McCoy's and three flavors of the Hula Hoops. All of them simply go in the oven, a bit like frozen oven chips. The MCoy's were quite tasty

There was also one called "Wot'sThis" which were the only one without an official trademark.

I'm intrigued!

Takae · 23-09-2013, 21:33

I'm thinking "No."

Seems too weird for my (admittedly unadventurous) taste.

What a cool idea! I don't normally go to Iceland because the aisles are too narrow and it upsets me, but I actually want to go and get these now. Are the exclusive to Iceland? I'll brave going in there. If I can clear some freezer space I'm getting hula hoops and mccoys.

Edit: ah yes, exclusive to Iceland. I'll pop in later today after I get my nails done.

mike_dunn · 24-09-2013, 08:58

It says the McCoy ones are the best so I'll try those.

speedy_gonzales · 24-09-2013, 14:36

they should make frazzles and monster munch next if they sell well.

Hayley_baby · 25-09-2013, 20:33

The Lazy Bs cant be bothered to make crisps now so charge you instead

Yes, I feel the same way about Iceland. My local store is not the best (horrible queues in particular) and I tend to avoid it. However, there is the occasional product that is worth popping in for!

The Hula Hoop ones are proving very popular too

Genius idea! Especially the Frazzles, I'd love to see that happen!

Tiwttmos · 25-09-2013, 21:49

I know what'll happen. They'll be the best potatoes i've ever tasted, then in a few months they'll be gone forever, just like my Cross&Blackwell pasta choice

The Alpha Gamer · 26-09-2013, 02:04

Makes me wish I lived near an Iceland.

dgi_m · 26-09-2013, 10:26

I was keen to try the Cheese & Onion McCoys, but they only had Ready Salted

I opted for the Beef Hula Hoops.

It's kinda weird eating them as normal food, but I'm sure they'd go down well will some dips as party food.

KidPoker · 26-09-2013, 18:14

Sounds disgusting.

curvybabes · 26-09-2013, 22:16

So far we,ve tried the cheese and the beef hula hoops, the cheese were the best. Monster Munch would be amazing

curvybabes · 27-09-2013, 16:42

Cheese hula hoops seem to be the favourites they are always sold out in my store. Bought the Wotsits today not sure I fancy them but the kids will no doubt love them.

Frazzles would be fab, I can almost imagine what they would taste like (if done correctly). Yum!

rivercity_rules · 29-09-2013, 15:59

Am i imagining Hula Hoop chips being around years ago?

These were originally released in 2000 and Iceland are again recycling an idea. Although I cannot wait to try them

. Off to Iceland for me

The Cheese & Onion Hula Hoops are next on my list now! Hope they're not sold out when I next go.

GG86 · 30-09-2013, 13:22

I actually made a special effort to go to Iceland today and try these. I got the Beef hoops and the cheese and onion McCoys

Beautiful_Harv · 30-09-2013, 16:32

Ooh i want some, might go to Iceland at the weekend

MarzBar85 · 30-09-2013, 16:45

Got original hula hoops. Its like eating warm crisps... Strange. Not sure if I fancy the McCoys ones. But I also saw that Iceland are now selling Noisette potatoes - been looking for these for years!!

curvybabes · 30-09-2013, 17:57

The wotsit ones are just horrid, even the kids didnt like them!

The Hula Hoops ones really are just like the original crisps, especially when they cool down. The Mccoys are worth trying, they're different from the actual crisps and very tasty in their own right.

The Noisette potatoes sound good, will look out for those!

Yes, same here! I wonder if it's because they are Iceland own brand rather than official. Although I don't really like Wotsits much anyway.
