Don’t miss out: ALDI’s $7.99 treat is flying off shelves again—Here’s why everyone wants it

If you’ve ever found yourself pining for a taste of the UK—or just love a good sweet treat, well there’s some good news for you.

ALDI Australia has just delivered some delicious news that’s got lolly lovers across the country squealing with excitement.



The budget-friendly supermarket has restocked its wildly popular Katja Biggetjes & Kokindjes gummies, a 500g bag of pig-shaped delights for just $7.99.

And if you missed out last time, you’ll want to move fast—these little piggies are notorious for vanishing from shelves in record time!

Why all the fuss? Well, these aren’t just any old lollies. Katja Biggetjes & Kokindjes have earned a cult following for being a near-perfect dupe of the iconic UK Marks & Spencer Percy Pig sweets.

For those unfamiliar, Percy Pigs are a British institution—soft, chewy, and bursting with fruity flavour, they’ve been a staple in UK lolly aisles for decades.

But getting your hands on a bag in Australia usually means paying a premium for international shipping, or relying on a generous friend returning from overseas.

ALDI’s version, part of their limited-edition ‘Dutch Delights’ Special Buys, first appeared earlier this year and caused a frenzy.

Shoppers snapped up bags by the armful, with some fans admitting they stockpiled enough to last the year. ‘These are my favourite. I always stock up with several bags then get sad when I eat them all like the pig I am and wish I got more,’ one sweet-toothed shopper confessed.

Another added, ‘These look like the Percy Pigs you gave us from the UK!’



So, what makes these gummies so irresistible? For starters, they’re made from real fruit juice, are vegan and gluten-free, and come in a trio of classic flavours: strawberry, raspberry, and cherry.

That means they’re not only delicious, but also a treat that many with dietary restrictions can enjoy. The generous 500g bag is perfect for sharing—though, if the comments are anything to go by, you might just want to keep them all to yourself!

ALDI’s Special Buys are known for their limited availability, and the Katja Biggetjes & Kokindjes are no exception.

Last year, they sold out in a flash, leaving many fans disappointed and vowing to be quicker next time. ALDI themselves have warned shoppers: ‘They won’t be around for long, so grab them before these little piggies are all snatched up.’



But what’s behind the enduring appeal of these piggy lollies? For many, it’s a taste of nostalgia—whether you grew up in the UK or just remember a special treat from a holiday abroad, there’s something comforting about the familiar fruity chew.

For others, it’s the thrill of finding a high-quality, affordable alternative to a hard-to-get favourite. And let’s be honest, who can resist a cute pig-shaped lolly?

If you’re new to the world of Percy Pig (or their Dutch doppelgängers), here’s a quick rundown of what to expect: a soft, chewy texture that’s not too sticky, a burst of real fruit flavour, and a shape that’s sure to bring a smile to your face.

They’re perfect for popping in your bag for a sweet pick-me-up, sharing with the grandkids, or even using to decorate cakes and desserts.

Why do we have such a big story on lollies that are full of sugar and bad for health, why. We as adults are becoming more and more responsible for children's bad eating habits, by making an issue out of sugar infested lollies. 🙏🦋
