Iceland has introduced Space Raiders and Hula Hoops frozen potato shapes, both of which sound like an absolute shout.
According to New Foods UK, the Space Raiders shapes will officially be available in stores from 12 April, and come in either Pickled Onion or Beef flavour - although some shoppers appear to have been able to track some down already.
Ocado and KP Snacks detail progress on plastic phase-outs
Online retailer Ocado had launched a refresh of its own-range products that will remove more than nine million pieces of packaging while also reducing the amount of plastic used, while KP Snacks has also announced packaging reductions.
Both organisations have successfully removed plastics from a range of products
Ocado’s product refresh accounts for more than 530 products, ranging from coffees and salads to tinned goods.
The refresh will see the removal of nine million non-essential packaging components from Ocado’s own-brand products. Across the range, around 27 tonnes of plastic has been removed, including 640,000 plastic nets. An adhesive label has also been removed on items such as egg boxes, with information now printed directly onto the box, saving around 10 tonnes of paper annually.

Investment in new equipment that packs the products in a more efficient way has resulted in a cut of around 142 tonnes of packaging across Nik Naks, Space Raiders and Skips.
