Walkers is bringing back another axed crisp flavour (Picutre: Matthew Horwood\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It\u2019s a good week to be a Walkers crisps<\/a> fan, as the snack giants just brought back a discontinued favourite \u2013 Worcester Sauce flavour.<\/p>\n

The crisps, which were axed in 2023 and feature the iconic taste of Lea & Perrins, have finally returned to shops nationwide after Walkers admitted they\u2019d made a mistake<\/a> only bringing them back in one shop in the West Midlands<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not all\u2026 There\u2019s even more exciting news for those who have been missing another top tier flavour, as Walkers has confirmed that Heinz Tomato Ketchup<\/a> crisps are also going to be making a comeback.<\/p>\n

Yes, Walkers and Heinz are joining forces<\/a> once more to bring back the saucy crisps many shoppers have been missing for two years.<\/p>\n

Walkers teased the return of the fan-favourite on Instagram, sharing a snap of a crisp covered in the classic Heinz sauce, along with a date showing March 17.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They captioned the post simply writing: \u2018You know it makes sense.\u2019<\/p>\n

More than 44,000 people liked the post, with hundreds going wild in the comments, proclaiming the crisps the \u2018best\u2019, their \u2018fave\u2019, and \u2018elite\u2019.<\/p>\n

A user named @shazzathewino posted: \u2018This better be UK wide, unlike Worcester Sauce. Don\u2019t break my heart again.\u2019 And @robin_hope_summers wrote: \u2018Ketchup is genuinely my favourite flavour crisp. I\u2019m dying over here bro.\u2019<\/p>\n

Similarly @another_snack_reviewer admitted they were her \u2018fave\u2019 crisps, adding: \u2018So glad these are back!\u2019 While @realpeteyquinn commented: \u2018Love me some Ketchup Walkers. Easily the best flavour.\u2019<\/p>\n

Metro\u2019s <\/strong>very own assistant news editor Isobel Frodsham was also ecstatic about the snack news, boldly proclaiming the Walkers and Heinz treat \u2018the greatest crisp creation ever created\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She said: \u2018For some people the McDonald\u2019s McRib<\/a> might be their dream food return to the shelves, but for me, it\u2019s always been Tomato Ketchup crisp.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018While I am a salt and vinegar lover at my core, the Tomato Ketchup flavour is the greatest crisp creation ever created, in my humble opinion. It\u2019s perfectly balanced \u2013 salty and sweet, and not too overpowering with the tomato flavour. I am delighted they are returning to the shops \u2013 I\u2019m rushing out to buy a packet asap.\u2019<\/p>\n

And while Walkers was teasing something for March 17, it seems those who just can\u2019t wait another day might already be able to get their hands on the crisps, as several shoppers claimed they\u2019d already spotted multipacks of them on sale in Iceland and the Food Warehouse stores for \u00a32.<\/p>\n
