Iceland is selling the Christmas tree flavoured crisps no one asked for
Ah yes, the distant merry bells of Christmas have already started edging closer as its, you know, early October.
Once the equally thrilling Halloween festivities are over, everyone will soon begin wondering where their Christmas jumpers are in preparation for the holidays.
Everyones favourite budget supermarket Iceland is kickstarting the merriment a little early though.
They have launched something we doubt anyone has asked for or possibly even thought of – Christmas tree flavoured crisps.
The frozen food specialists have launched the novelty snacks as part of their hand-cooked range which includes seasonal specials such as pigs in blanket flavoured crisps.

Luxury lobster cocktail crisps are also part of the range, in case you were bored of its seafood cousin prawn cocktail.
The Luxury Christmas Tree Flavour Salted crisps come in a 180g bag and are made with oil from real pine needles. In keeping with Iceland style prices, they are £1.
Icelands Head Chef, Neil Nugent, said: At Iceland we are always evolving our product range to include the latest foods and trends. The Christmas Tree Crisps have a slight ready salted flavour with a hint of pine that creates a completely new combination, unlike any other festive flavour.

Naturally, it piqued fan interest after Instagram account Kevs Snack Reviews shared an image of it.
Someone wrote: I cant be the only person thinking itll just taste like potpourri, while another said: Pigs in blankets and lobster Im down with… but Christmas tree?! I guess Id have to give it a try.
Another Instagrammar mentioned an equally dubious sounding snack. They wrote: Christmas tree? Funny, I wouldnt mind trying for fun. A friend from Ireland made me try shamrock flavoured crisps.
We can only imagine what they taste like.
