WALKERS have launched a new and limited edition flavour for Easter – but it has left fans divided.
The crisp giant’s new offering – Sensations slow-roasted pork and apple sauce – was spotted recently in Tesco.
Walkers described the “unforgettable” flavour as “a rich, smoky aroma of slow-roasted pork balanced with sweet, tangy apple sauce”.
“First… The smoky aroma of spit-roast pork. Then… A taste of sweet and tangy apple sauce”, reads the snack’s packet.
The Sensations packaging is also a coral colour with Easter eggs on it.
The product is priced at £2.50 at Tesco or £1.65 with a Clubcard.
However many were quick to express their dislike for the flavour on social media.
One said: “This flavour is nasty and the balance is completely off… These are quite possibly the worst crisps I’ve ever had.”
Another wrote: “My son got some this week and they are by all accounts nasty.”
A third added: “Those crisps are absolutely revolting, touched my tongue and felt so sick.”
But others disagreed with many rushing to defend the inventive taste.
A happy customer penned: “These were game changing. Didn’t think they’d get the apple sauce flavouring but they did it. Epic.”

This time, the snack will be made in collaboration with Lea & Perrins, the maker of one of the most famous Worcester sauces in the UK.
The tangy flavour was axed two years ago leaving fans heartbroken.
The product is only being sold in Worcester in one specific shop.
Walkers has confirmed a limited supply will be exclusively available at Charlie’s Convenience Store, 59 Barbourne Road, Worcester.

Walkers has a history of cancelling certain flavours before bringing them back.
In 2024, the crisp giant announced the return of another fan-favourite – BBQ Sauce.
The popular flavour was launched in the 1990s but was discontinued before making a heroic comeback.
In the past, the brand has also treated fans to an array of new flavours, including Tomato Ketchup and Cheese Toastie and Heinz Beanz flavour.
These limited edition flavours were not around for long however, and were removed from stores last October.
