Gone without a word in the early 2000s. Twenty years without a replacement. We want them back.

Not quite a crisp, not quite a cracker. Something thin and flaky that gave way the moment you bit in. Made from proper potato, not reconstituted starch. A small equilateral triangle, coated on every surface with coarse salt crystals that caught the light in the bowl.
Ready salted. That was it. No flavour variants. No "Chilli Mango Infusion." No "Loaded BBQ Ranch Stack." Potato. Triangle. Salt.
"It was that coating of tiny salt crystals that did the trick."

M&S called them Deltas. Tesco called them Potato Triangles. Sainsbury's had their version. Morrisons, Asda - all of them, the same snack under different names, almost certainly from the same manufacturer. Every aisle, same taste. Classless. Ubiquitous. Irreplaceable.
Somewhere in the early 2000s, they disappeared from every supermarket. No announcement. No farewell. No explanation. The shelves filled with something else. Twenty years later, nothing in the crisp aisle has come close.
"I've hunted everywhere and they simply don't exist any more. It's strange, as I thought they were such a popular and timeless classic."
- Someone on Metropol247
"Why aren't Potato Triangles made anymore? They were — and are — my favourite snack in the World. Please bring them back."
- Someone on Twitter, tagging Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Asda simultaneously
"For years now, whenever I ask what munchie treats the family want, they always ask for potato triangles. I simply cannot get them anywhere."
- Someone on MoneySavingExpert
"Very thin salted potato triangles. So more-ish. Every supermarket had them under its own brand, but I reckon there was just the one manufacturer as they all tasted the same."
- Someone on Gransnet
"There was — and still is — a market. Nobody makes or sells anything similar. It's baffling that nobody has filled the gap."
- Someone on PistonHeads
"Deltas were lush. Haven't seen them in years, sadly."

Cadbury brought Wispa back after a Facebook campaign. Walkers has run "Bring It Back" votes. When demand is real and visible, manufacturers act on it. The problem with Potato Triangles was never the demand. It was that no one had organised it into anything a manufacturer could see.
An email list is not a focus group. It is a verifiable count of real people who want these back. When this list reaches the right number, we take it to manufacturers. Not with a pitch deck. With names. The argument is not sentiment. It is evidence.
The economics have changed. Contract snack manufacturing is viable at order quantities that would have been impossible fifteen years ago. A Minimum Order Quantity that once required a supermarket contract can now be crowdfunded. You are that audience.
This is not sentimental. It is a gap in the market that has existed for two decades, a proven demand that has persisted without any product to spend itself on, and a production route that is now achievable. The only thing missing was someone to organise it.
That's what this is.
Add your name
No money changes hands. Just your email. When we hit the numbers, we use them, and you'll hear about it first.
Tell everyone who remembers them
Think of one person who'd remember finding these in a bowl at Christmas. Then send them this page.
We build the case
Every name on this list is evidence. When we hit the targets, we take the numbers to snack manufacturers and show them what demand looks like. Not a pitch. Not sentiment. A list.
Pre-order and fund the run
When we have a manufacturer and know the minimum run size, we publish a funding target and open pre-orders. You pledge for a bag. We hit the target, we make them, we send them. All-or-nothing. Full refunds if we don't get there. No small print.
Public milestones
No spam. Just your email. Every name on this list is evidence. We'll write when we have something worth saying.

M&S called them Deltas. Tesco called them Potato Triangles. Sainsbury's had their version. We're going with Potato Triangles. It's what most people search for, it's what the packet says, and it's what you'd tell someone who'd never heard of them.

Nothing weird. We'll write when we hit the targets, when we've spoken to a manufacturer, and when we have a price and a funding target. That last one comes to you first.
