WALKERS has axed another popular crisp flavour from shelves “with no notice”, shoppers have complained.
The snack maker has told customers that it’s no longer making a favourite Quavers flavour that only returned two years ago.

The comment was in response to a fan asking what happened to salt and vinegar flavour Quavers.
“I can’t find them anywhere,” they said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Walkers replied: “We’re sorry to break it to you Linda, but we’re not making this flavour anymore.”
The retro flavour first joined Walkers’ lineup back in 1993 and returned to shelves in 2021 along with prawn cocktail Quavers after demands from crisp lovers.

The fan responded: “And with no notice. This is a sad day”.
Lovers of the soon-to-be-gone flavour include celebrity cook Nigella Lawson.
Shortly after the crisp flavour’s return she tweeted: “Why have I only just now discovered salt & vinegar Quavers?”
Others were not quite so convinced.

After spotting the lunch essential, comedian Tim Vine said: “Just trying to decide if salt and vinegar flavoured Quavers are a good idea or the beginning of the apocalypse.”
But since the comeback, the crisps have built up a cult following.
One fan branded them “the best crisps ever” and added: “if they stop making these salt and vinegar quavers again, they are mad”.
