Crisp giant makes U-turn after fans show outrage over snack only sold in Worcester
A CRISPS giant has made a major U-turn in their decision to sell a famous flavour of crisps only in Worcester.
Walkers has apologised to fans after they expressed outrage that the Worcester Sauce flavour would only be served in Charlie's Convenience Store in Barbourne Road.
Many people had flocked to the store to get their hands on the limited edition flavour, which made many fans feel left out.
The crisps will be on sale across the rest of the UK from March 17.
A spokesperson for Walkers said: "On reflection, maybe we shouldn't have just limited the sale of Walkers Worcester Sauce flavoured crisps to only one store in Worcester.
"Fans, we've heard your outrage loud and clear.
"We're working hard to make them available for everyone to enjoy the beloved flavour - which is now even more Worcestershire-y with Lea & Perrins' iconic sauce."
Fans had gone to social media to show their outrage at the move to only sell the crisps in Worcester.
One, @tripleeatsfood, wrote: 'NATION WIDE RELEASE NEEDED RIGHT NOW!!!'
And another fan, @krissie.p74, added: 'Bring them back everywhere. Best crisps ever.'

A business spokesperson said it had 89 boxes of the crisps, all of which are gone.
Charlie's is expecting a new flavour delivery in the next few days.
People had travelled far and wide to celebrate the return of Worcester Sauce crisps on March 4, which led to Walkers completely taking over the city.
Large inflatable crisps, signs and people dressed in the packet's colours had popped up to mark the day.
