Walker's announces new flavour of popular crisps and people are baffled
Walkers have announced a brand new flavour of crisps - but fans have a mixed opinion. It's not very often a brand new crisp flavour is launched, but the new Quavers flavour is causing a debate. The popular cheesy crisps were first launched in 1968, capturing lovers across the nation and the Red Leicester flavour is set to hit shelves by the end of July.
The crisps join fan favourites such as Cheese, Prawn Cocktail and BBQ Sauce - and Tesco shoppers will be able to get their hands on the new Quavers first, with other major supermarkets reportedly stocking them from September.
Fans have already shared their thoughts online, with some picking up the bags in Farm Foods and Premier convenience stores. A post shared on the Facebook page New Foods UK revealed the new flavour, as one user wrote: "What a time to be alive," while a second penned: "Bet these will be nice".
While others aren't too sure, as one crisp fan pointed out it will still be a cheesy flavour and said: "What even is red Leicester.I've eaten it before and could not tell the difference between that and regular cheese." A second said: "They taste the same as the normal ones."
The food giant, known for its quintessentially British flavours like Cheese & Onion and Prawn Cocktail, has waved farewell to a bunch of classics over the years. Beef & Onion are no more, Marmite is gone for good, and Worcester Sauce is now a distant memory.
But it is the brand's BBQ Rib flavoured crisps, which were slowly phased out years ago, that the nation misses the most. Social media users have constantly been begging for its return, describing the meaty snacks as the best flavour' ever. Petitions demanding they get put back on the shelf were even created online..
Now, Walkers has launched a new Smokin' BBQ Sauce crisp that has joined its core range. Packaged in a very similar black colour, the crisps aren't the same as the previously axed BBQ Rib - but shoppers are already making comparisons.
"FINALLY!" one user raved. "I think the last time I had these was when I was six! I'm 25 now, and I've never stopped thinking about that taste!"
Another wrote: "I've demanded these for years even went to 10 downing street," while a third mistakingly added: "Not new, just back again, but these are lovely."

H&H Bagels is doing 'Hamilton'-themed bagels and schmear in honor of musical's 10th anniversary
New York's favorite bagel shop is officially in the 'room where it happens.' To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton, H&H Bagels is launching its first-ever Broadway partnership—and naturally, it's a toast to the city that birthed them both. Starting Friday, July 25, all five H&H locations will offer two limited-time menu specials inspired by the record-breaking musical. First up: the Revolutionary Lemon Poppyseed Cream Cheese, a zesty spread with enough zing to duel a plain schmear into submission. Then there's the Taylor Hamilton Egg & Cheese, a stacked bagel sandwich featuring Taylor Ham, scrambled eggs, American cheese and a kick of hot honey, a tribute to New Jersey's favorite breakfast meat and one of New York's greatest immigrant success stories. Both items will be available through Sunday, August 17, and the lemon poppyseed schmear will also ship nationwide. Consider it your edible souvenir of the $10 founding father. H&H, itself a New York institution since 1972, has seen enough drama to warrant its own off-Broadway saga, including bankruptcy battles, late-night closures and a cameo on Seinfeld. But in recent years, the brand has staged a comeback worthy of a standing ovation. With a booming wholesale business, nationwide shipping and aggressive expansion plans (including 25 new locations across the U.S.), H&H is once again riding high. As for Hamilton, the musical's legacy continues to reshape the Broadway canon and beyond. Since its 2015 debut, it's racked up 11 Tony Awards, a Pulitzer Prize, and legions of fans who can rap the entire Cabinet Battle by heart. This new collab is the perfect celebration of New York, its classics and the joy of a great bagel paired with a cultural phenomenon. No matter if you're a lifelong Upper West Sider or a tourist on a Broadway pilgrimage, now's the time to rise up and grab a bagel. Just don't throw away your shot—these specials are gone after August 17.

Everyone thinks I'm 25 because I look so hot wearing mini-dresses and tiny shorts – but my real age will shock you
A FASHIONISTA has rubbished the suggestion that people should dress their age - and has left the people stunned by how old she really is. TikToker Charlotte Singmin grew up in a time where women were bombarded ''with toxic messaging'' on ''how they 'should' look''. 2 2 ''When I was growing up our bodies would be labelled apples or pears and we were convinced we had an expiry date,'' Charlotte recently said online. ''Turns out we don't need to identify with fruit and we should feel good dressing however we want at any age,'' she shared in an uplifting post. Now, Charlotte doesn't hide or dresses to become invisible - the brunette beauty rocks mini dresses and figure-hugging shorts, and urges others to follow suit. ''i'm 49 and I don't believe in 'dressing your age'. ''If it makes you feel good, do it,'' she said in the video. For Charlotte, however, it wasn't an easy journey, with vicious trolls slamming her with ''ageist comments'' about her style. It wasn't until her 49th birthday that the stunner, who posts under the username @ charlottesingmin, rediscovered her ''love of fashion''. The mum and entrepreneur said in a video: ''I'm turning 50 in November and I'm finally starting to live life on my terms and learning what makes me happy. ''Turns out, I love putting on a cute fit and drinking mocktails with my girlie.'' Charlotte's inspiring words have clearly resonated with many, as the stylish mum has racked up more than 370k views. I'm 5ft3 & a size 12-14 - my 7 Tesco dresses are an absolute bargain & perfect for a last-minute wedding guest outfit As many flooded to comments, one couldn't believe the mum was about to turn 50 in autumn. ''49 looking like 25,'' the fan was gobsmacked. A fellow fashionista chimed in: ''I turn 45 this weekend and I'm wearing whatever the hell I want.'' ''49 but looking better than most of 20' out there,'' a viewer said. ''I can't stand people saying dress your age.. it doesn't even make sense.. there's no mandatory look for any age,'' a TikToker thought. ''Just be a decent person and wear whatever you want.'' ''This isn't 'dressing your age'. this is dressing your power. period,'' a fifth penned.

Although many big brands have created their own twist on Dubai chocolate this year, it's usually a chocolate-filled shell with pistachio cream, tahini, and crunchy kataifi (shredded filo dough). Kataifi is the main ingredient used in knafeh, which is a Middle Eastern dessert with crispy, stringy pastry, layered with a sweet cheese filling. The original Dubai chocolate was launched by Dubai-based FIX Dessert Chocolatier in 2022.
