Heinz urged to bring back 'cheap' dish that now sells for £50 on eBay

Thousands of Heinz fans are desperate for the return of one of its most beloved products - almost a decade since it was discontinued. Toast Toppers were a staple for many families throughout the 1970s and 1980s thanks to their ease and cheapness.

The cans of creamy food came in many varieties, including chicken and mushroom, cheese and ham and mushroom and bacon. And they required nothing more than spreading on toast and popping under the grill.

The Heinz company itself has even posted a meme on its social media page that nodded to people's love for the food item. Manchester-based Aimee Foy runs the popular Toast Toppers Facebook group and explained why there is still such a desire for them.

She told Sky News: "It was just a really nice but versatile snack. Like a lot of people, I have really nostalgic memories of having it as a teenager." Aimee described the cans as "tasty" as well as "really simple and cheap," going on to compare them to the pricey cost of ordering a meal from Uber Eats or similar these days.

The fan also pointed out that the relative affordability of Toast Toppers would appeal to people during the current cost of living crisis. "It was only around £1 when they stopped doing it, but even at twice that price people would definitely still buy it," she added.

The proof of people's love for them can be found on eBay, according to Aimee. She said: "I've seen tins on eBay that were six years out of date but going for more than £50, which just shows how much people love it."
