For years, fans of Walkers crisps have been begging the brand to bring back one very specific flavour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Worcester Sauce crisps<\/a> were axed in September 2023 and the controversial decision to stop selling the snack<\/a> was branded a \u2018crime\u2019, with many saying they felt \u2018bereft\u2019.<\/p>\n

Then two weeks ago, all that changed as the crisp giants announced the \u2018god tier\u2019 flavour was finally making a comeback<\/a> \u2013 but there was a big catch.<\/p>\n

The crisps, which feature the iconic taste of Lea & Perrins, would only be available to buy from a convenience store in Worcester, and there was only going to be a limited supply available.<\/p>\n

Understandably, this caused a big commotion. <\/p>\n

While many flocked to the West Midlands<\/a> to get their hands on a packet, not everyone was able to travel that far, so once again Walkers<\/a> was inundated with messages from fans demanding they bring back Worcester Sauce crisps, but this time nationwide.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Instagram, @tripleeatsfood proclaimed: \u2018NATION WIDE RELEASE NEEDED RIGHT NOW!!!\u2019 As @krissie.p74 said: \u2018Bring them back everywhere. Best crisps ever.\u2019<\/p>\n

@derighetti admitted they were \u2018crying from Edinburgh\u2019, while @chantzy91 thought: \u2018They need to be worldwide. They are my favourite. No crisp compares.\u2019<\/p>\n

Similarly @jjone5y commented: \u2018I\u2019m currently losing sleep over this. Please tell me they are coming out nationwide.\u2019 And @cammywoo666 added: \u2018Bring to the whole uk plz.\u2019<\/p>\n

Thankfully, it seems the message has been received loud and clear, as the crisp brand has issued an apology to its loyal customers \u2013 and announced they\u2019ll be making a major U-turn.<\/p>\n

Walkers said: \u2018On reflection, maybe we shouldn\u2019t have just limited the sale of Walkers Worcester Sauce flavoured crisps to only one store in Worcester.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Fans, we\u2019ve heard your outrage loud and clear. So we\u2019ve decided that your favourite Walkers Worcester Sauce flavour crisps will land on shelves at retailers all over the UK from Monday March 17 onwards.<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re working hard to make them available for everyone to enjoy the beloved flavour \u2013 which is now even more Worcesterhsire-y with Lea & Perrins\u2019 iconic sauce. We\u2019re sorry for any distress caused.\u2019<\/p>\n
