Hey all,

Why is it that we aren't allowed the privilege of having access to Tangy Tomato chips (Thins Potato Chips/Crisps) or the Hot & Spicy chicken with KFC all year round? Or the Thins Hot & Spicy. This limited edition / limited time only thing is simply annoying and is sacrilegious!

Marketing brains behind it eh?

  We need an ICAC investigation into this atrocity.

  Because people buy more when it could be taken away from them………

  Same reason idiots collect stupid mini grocery products from Coles like a pack of smooth brains.

    But if you get them all then you can fill up all the spots in the mini fridge.

    You sound like you've read, 'Predictably Irrational", if you haven't, you sound like you'd enjoy it ☺️

    That explains why, having spent the last 8 years in Brisbane and the 4 years before that in Perth, I'm struggling to figure out when H&S wasn't a year-round thing.

      Yeah me too, Im in Brisbane and I was thinking am I making an idiot of myself asking for H&S all the time

  Thins Hot & Spicy
  love this but it has been "limited edition" for 2 years lol
  why would hot and spicy only be year round for the hot states.. weird

    Why is hot and spicy food popular in a lot of hot countries? - Thailand, India, West Indies, Mexico Etc.

    People like the taste, it's not necessarily about temperature (although it has been proposed that spicy food making you sweat can cool you down)

  "limited edition" being the answer to your own question..

  I'm in a different industry, but when a large proportion of your sales comes from new lines, I assume there is a large amount of growth/sales contributed to limited edition products.

  Yet another first world problem?

    not really, tangy tomato / tomato / tomato ketchup / spicy is a regular flavour for example, in many (considered non first world) countries. e.g. Frito Lays around the world.
