Walker's announces new flavour of popular crisps and people are baffled
The new flavour is set to launch in stores from the end of July - but shoppers are divided on the brand new flavour leaving them confused at the difference in taste 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."
