Walkers announcement to customers over popular crisp flavour 'back in supermarkets' A fan was left stunned when told it'll be 'starting to appear back on the shelves now' A crisp fan was left stunned when he took to social media to beg for his favourite flavour to come back after being discontinued. Maker Walkers quickly got back to the fan - and revealed they’ll soon be arriving back in the shops. The popular crisp maker has ended many lines - last October it said Tomato Snaps crisps are to be confined to history. In April it said it had ended production of Crinkles crisps with PepsiCo-owned brand telling one fan: “Sadly our Walkers Crinkles range stopped being produced in Feb 2026.” Now it has given a food fan some good news. On X Wayne Hunt asked: “@walkers_crisps - please bring back these beauties- Please bring this beauty back, they were the best Walkers Max Double Crunch KFC Zinger crisps.” Normally, people are disappointed by the response, but this time, Walkers said: “Great news, they’re back! The wait is over as MAX KFC Zinger and MAX KFC Original are back on shelves! Enjoy!” Excited Wayne asked: “When from and from what retailer please?” Walkers said: “They’re starting to appear on shelves in major supermarkets now, so keep an eye out!” From Worcester Sauce to Marmite-flavour crisps, Walkers has discontinued a number of products from it’s range recently. Along with its core range, Walkers is responsible for products including Wotsits, Quavers, Monster Munch, Squares and Bugles, as well as various ranges like Max and Sensations. But its range of products has varied over the years with new crisps and snacks being added and others being discontinued. Arguably the most controversial Walkers axing ever was that of it’s popular Worcester Sauce Crisps in 2023. The crisps have been described by fans as “the best” and the decision to discontinue them caused outrage among fans. But Walkers Worcester Sauce crisps returned to supermarkets across the UK after the outcry. The “little purple bags of joy” made a comeback on March 17, 2025, after a successful re-launch at Charlie’s Convenience Store in Worcester just week’s earlier. In November 2023, not long after confirming Worcester Sauce crisps had been axed, Walkers revealed it’s Salt and Vinegar Quavers has also been discontinued. One fan, posting on X at the time, commented: “@walkers_crisps have you stopped making salt and vinegar quavers? I can’t find them anywhere.” To which a Walkers Crisps spokesperson replied: “We’re sorry to break it to you Linda, but we’re not making this flavour anymore.” In December 2023, Walkers confirmed they had also stopped making Max Strong Hotsauce Blaze flavour crisps. Fans at the time took to social media to ask why they could no longer find the Walkers crisps. One X user posted: “@walkers_crisps Was Max Strong: Hotsauce Blaze discontinued? Can’t find an answer anywhere.” A Walkers spokesperson replied: “Hi, sorry to disappoint you, we don’t make this flavour anymore.” [Image text:] EVERY HOUR SENSATION WALKERS READ SMLTED READY
