Die-hard fans of a famous British lolly are racing to Aldi stores across Australia this week.
And it’s all in a bid to get their hands on a cult-favourite treat that completely sold out last time it was on shelves.
The budget supermarket has just restocked its wildly popular Katja Biggetjes & Kokindjes bags ($7.99) which contain a generous 500g of sweet treats.
The soft Dutch pig-shaped lollies caused a frenzy when they first landed as part of Aldi’s limited-edition ‘Dutch Delights’ Special Buys in 2024, and now, after months of waiting by fans, they’re finally back.
While the original British version has become a global cult favourite thanks to its juicy texture and nostalgic pig-shaped design, it’s not exactly easy (or cheap) to get your hands on them outside of the UK.
Dubbed the ultimate ‘Percy Pig dupe’, the Katja Biggetjes & Kokindjes gummies are said to taste almost identical to the beloved UK Marks & Spencer sweets – minus the price tag and international shipping.
‘I love these! Last year I bought six or so packets to last the year,’ one shopper confessed.
‘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,’ another joked.

Aldi Australia has finally restocked Katja Biggetjes in stores, which are described by shoppers as a ‘dupe’ of the British M&S Percy Pig gummy lollies
The cult Katja Biggetjes & Kokindjes gummies ($7.99 for 500g) are made from real fruit juice, are vegan and gluten-free, and come flavoured with strawberry, raspberry and cherry
‘These look like the Percy Pigs you gave us from the UK,’ an excited fan wrote.

The relaunch has sparked renewed excitement among lolly-lovers, many of whom missed out the first time around.
‘We are always delighted when customers get excited for one of our Special Buys products,’ an Aldi spokesperson told the Royale.
Shoppers were warned last year that ‘they won’t be around for long though,’ and urged to ‘grab them before these little piggies are all snatched up.’
So, the imminent return of these chewy sweets has sweet-lovers literally squealing.
However, consider this your warning to get in quick if you missed out last time. These pigs will fly off shelves, again.
