Walkers crisps confirm they’ve axed divisive flavour for good

Walkers has confirmed it has discontinued one of its most divisive flavours - and no, we're not talking about prawn cocktail.

We'll give you a clue, you either love this flavour, or hate it. It's as simple as that.

With our nation being full of crisp lovers, this news may come as quite the blow to many.

Walkers actually discontinued the flavour at the end of last year, which means the packs are slowly disappearing off the shelves already.

And the flavour in question?

Yep, the crisp giant has confirmed that none other than the Marmite flavour is now a thing of the past.

Although, if you've ever tried getting your hands on a pack of Walkers Marmite before, then you'll know they're not the easiest to find.

Despite this, fans have been left gutted, with the crisps having been a favourite for some for over 20 years.

One wrote: “This flavour crisp takes me back to the 1960's," while another said: “I always come back to these."

A third shopper said: “Plenty of flavour - and they're well cooked and crisp without being greasy.”

And a fourth added: "Why are you discontinuing Marmite. The only crisps my son eats and he's now sobbing on his bed."

Another said the news had ruined her day, adding: "Completely ruined my Friday. If they discontinue the marmite ones, they should at least bring back the beef and onion ones."

Speaking to The Sun, Walkers apologised to Marmite fans who were gutted over the news.

“We are very sorry to disappoint fans of Marmite flavour Walkers crisps with this news. We know many crisp lovers will hate to see this Walkers’ flavour go.

“This change will enable us to focus our efforts on making more of the flavours crisp fans love the most.”

If you're looking to stock up, we can confirm that the likes of Ocado, Asda and Tesco are still stocking multipacks of the crisps.

But with the crisps no longer in production, they won't be around for long... just like another flavour which has sadly had its day.

Recently, we told you how the worcester sauce flavour has also been axed.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, a crisp fanatic asked the company: "Is it just me that's noticed but I've not seen these in my local shop/supermarket for a while now @walkers_crisps can I still get them??" alongside a picture of the infamous worcester sauce flavour.

For those not in the know, the crisp is infamous for its unique, tangy taste.

The Walkers admin then replied: "Hi, we're sorry but Worcester Sauce flavour is no longer part of our range."

This is a very sad state of affairs.
