Walkers is launching two permanent new crisp flavours for first time in decades
They've been quietly developing two brand new flavours for their permanent range – and this is kind of a big deal, as the brand hasn't added anything new to its core line-up in decades.
Salted crisps were first launched by Walkers in 1948, with Cheese & Onion crisps coming along in 1954. These were followed by Salt & Vinegar in 1967.
Other classic flavours like Prawn Cocktail, Roast Chicken and Smoky Bacon are thought to have been introduced in the 70s.
But as of this week this week, shoppers will be able to get their hands on Sticky Teriyaki and Masala Chicken flavours.
Walkers claims they've spent the last 12 months working on 'rigorous flavour testing' to bring these crisps to life, which involved a six-step process.
They initially started out with 63 different flavour submissions, before the team finally narrowed it down to just two.
And they're expecting both of the new products to be a big success, as research carried out by the crisp giants found that 73% of consumers would rather buy Masala Chicken crisps than the classic Prawn Cocktail ones, while 65% picked Sticky Teriyaki over Cheese & Onion.
In fact, following a taste test, 49% of crisp lovers admitted they preferred the new 'bold' and 'innovative' flavours over the entirety of the core Walkers selection. That's some serious fighting talk right there…
The new flavours will be available in supermarkets across the UK from the week of August 11. More Trending
But if you're curious to hear more about how they taste before then, Walkers claims the Sticky Teriyaki crisps are both 'sweet and tangy', and the flavour will 'hit your senses'.
And the Masala Chicken ones are said to have a 'rich and creamy' taste, giving you a 'bite-sized' version of the UK's favourite Indian dish, Tikka Masala.
Wayne Newton, senior marketing director at Walkers adds: 'Our development team has been on a mission for the past year to find two new flavours that meet the highest standards.

Waitrose launched 'mesmerising' retro cake from 1930s
The supermarket has teamed up with renowned cake maker, Fiona Cairns, to create a Lambeth-style cake, which feature a very specific decoration style, all to do with the way the icing is piped.
The over-piping technique has roots in Europe, dating back to the 19th Century, but was largely popularised by cake decorator Joseph Lambeth in the 1930s thanks to his book, The Lambeth Method of Cake Decoration & Practical Pastries.
Each of the Vintage Style Lemon & Raspberry Lambeth Cakes available from waitrose.com cost £65, serve 32-34 people, and are made to order, requiring eight days' notice.

Ibiza Final Boss's incredible new life from £9million villa to Bonnie Blue tease
Jack Kay shot to fame when a clip of the distinctive raver dancing on the Spanish party island went viral - now the Ibiza Final Boss is in line to earn six figures It began with a simple video on social media and soon after Jack Kay was captured dancing by Ibizan open air club Zero Six West, a legend was born. Jack, from Newcastle, was dubbed the Ibiza Final Boss of the Spanish party island after his distinctive appearance sent him viral on TikTok. The 26-year-old was quickly identified after Zero Six West asked in their caption: "Does anyone know this absolute legend coz we've got two free guestlist [spots] with his name on it!" The social media clip, which showed Jack sporting a memorable blunt bowl haircut as he partied wearing flashy sunglasses, a dazzling gold chain and designer black vest, has been viewed more than 18 million times in little over a week. Since going viral, we take a look at how his life has changed... READ MORE: Ibiza Final Boss' mystery relationship timeline as he 'fights to keep glam girlfriend' When the viral sensation's dancing display caught the eye of the internet, one person said of his eye catching haircut: "Ibiza at 11, bullying King John to sign the Magna Carta at 12", while another joked: "Short back and battle of Hastings please mate". Brands were quick to get on board too, with offering Jack an extended stay on the party isle. In no time at all, Jack had set up his own Instagram and TikTok accounts and he was soon snapped up by top celeb talent agency, Neon Management. The raver, whose distinctive look has been compared to everyone from Ringo Starr to Friar Tuck and a Lego man, went onto return to Ibiza in style with four mates. Sporting a fresh trim, the Ibiza Final Boss and his crew were seen boarding a £5 million private jet, with Jack sporting a fresh bowl cut trim from his barber Ali Kurbani back in Gateshead. "Ibiza, I'm on my way," he declared, heading to £5 million mansion Blue Stone Villa in upmarket Santa Eulalia. Ali, of B&D Barbers, told The Sun his client asks for a "medium skin fade with some length left on top", with the secret to the Lego -like shape being keeping the fringe crisp and the front well-defined. Jack's Ibiza Boss haircut costs £26. After returning to Ibiza, Jack was seen partying up a storm at a £9 million villa on the Spanish island, inviting 100 of his fans to watch DJs Deniz Menendez and Rsquared perform. Landing himself in hot water, the Ibiza Final Boss is said to have hired five dwarves for the event too, leading to criticism from disability rights groups. The party animal also turned the head of infamous adult content creator Bonnie Blue, who left an eyes emoji on a social media post which showed Jack riding in a Mercedes G-Wagon. The raver cryptically responded to Bonnie: "The final boss can't be slayed… your misses on the other hand? Her levels been completed". After he went viral, Jack's girlfriend Alisha Cook quickly made herself known. The 23-year-old from Durham captioned a series of clips on TikTok: "POV ya boyfriend's now known as the Ibiza final boss". But within days it was reported the couple were in trouble when Jack jetted back to the party island with his mates. Alisha later told The Sun: "All I want to say is, I love him, we're back together". As for Jack's career, PR Mayah Riaz, of Mayah Media, told the Mirror he had the potential to earn six figures if he made the most of his 15 minutes of fame. "He's got the holy trinity of viral success: that he's relatable, he popped up at the right time, and he's unintentionally hilarious," said the expert. "The internet seems to love him. And in today's fame economy that kind of organic buzz can absolutely be cashed in on, if he plays it right." Despite becoming the Ibiza Final Boss overnight, the Geordie insisted he was a simple lad at heart. "Appreciate all the love and messages off everyone," he told his fans on social media after he went viral. "I will get back to everyone quick as I can it's just a lot for me to take in at the moment. I am just a normal person from Newcastle it's crazy stay locked in got some big news coming."

Everyone is stunned when they realise my nan is 97 & her tips to being wrinkle-free are so easy – one is free too
Plus, why you should consider turmeric for anti-ageing YOU GLOW GIRL Everyone is stunned when they realise my nan is 97 & her tips to being wrinkle-free are so easy – one is free too Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A NAN has left people with their jaws on the floor after revealing she's almost 100. The adorable gran became a TikTok sensation after her granddaughter, only known as AK, posted a video of the stunning OAP on the platform. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The adorable nan - pictured with an ageing filter - has left people stunned with her youthful glow Credit: tiktok/@akfromjupiter 2 The grandma, born in 1928, has also spilled the beans on how she's maintained the fresh-faced look at 97 Credit: tiktok/@akfromjupiter According to the younger relative, from France, her grandma was born in 1928 - long before Botox became a staple for millions of beauty buffs. Despite looking as glowy as ever, the grandmother has allegedly never used the popular cosmetic treatment - and instead, sticks to two tried-and-tested tips to keep the wrinkles at bay. Spilling the beans on how she's kept her youthful glow, the nan revealed there are a few things she does to stay wrinkle-free - and one of them is totally free. This, she recently told her granddaughter in a wholesome video, is keeping active by doing ballet. As well as giving you a dopamine boost, exercise is a wonderful - and affordable - way to maintain a fresh-faced complexion without forking out for pricey fillers. Whether you're off for a yoga class or simply getting your daily steps in, exercise increases blood flow, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to skin cells, while also removing waste products. This improved circulation contributes to a healthier, more vibrant complexion. Regular physical activity can also help protect against oxidative stress - a major factor in skin ageing. On top of this, the gorgeous gran also swears by her skincare routine - and there's one cult favourite brand she's been using for decades. ''I clean my face every day before going to bed, I put on my creams in the morning and in the evening.'' 4 ways to banish wrinkles WITHOUT Botox or fillers Her go-to products include Lancôme Absolue range, which has helped ''to preserve'' her radiant skin. ''Lancôme eye creams are also very good. Everything Lancôme sells - I like it. ''I have been using that for 30 years,'' the nan praised the luxe brand. ''I run out of fun and I go for another. Lancôme dry skin cleanser - great.'' Why is turmeric good for anti-ageing? A study published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that turmeric and curcumin may help prevent DNA damage and aid in DNA repair. This is promising news for disease prevention and slowing the ageing process. It also: Boosts Collagen Production: Collagen is a protein that maintains the skin's elasticity and firmness. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. Turmeric helps stimulate collagen synthesis, thereby promoting firmer and more youthful skin. Improves Skin Health: Turmeric has been shown to improve various skin conditions, such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help soothe the skin, reduce redness, and promote a clearer complexion. If you're a beauty buff, you'll know that Lancôme products are on the more expensive side - but luckily, there's a huge variety of buys for a fraction of the cost. For a dry skin cleanser dupe of Lancôme, consider CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser. Currently on sale for £9.36 at Superdrug, this shopper favourite cleanser is creamy and hydrating, with dozens of fans dubbing it ''excellent'' for dry skin. Meanwhile, if you're on the lookout for a more purse-friendly dupe of the viral Absolue Eye Cream (£135), fans have been raving about L'Oréal Age Perfect Cell Renew Midnight Eye Cream. On offer for less than £23 at Boots, this high street buy ''wraps the full eye contour in a silky veil of comfort, for a luxurious overnight experience''. Similarly, several serums can serve as dupes for the £202 Lancôme Absolue serum, offering similar anti-aging and hydrating benefits at a lower price point. Some popular alternatives include the La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum (£31.50) and Kiehl's Vital Skin-Strengthening Hyaluronic Acid Super Serum, which sells for £45. The clip, posted under the username @akfromjupiter, has taken the internet by storm, winning the wholesome duo more than 11million views in just one week. Amazed by how radiant the nan looked, over 3,000 people flooded to comments, where on said: ''97 whattt?? Months??'' ''There's no way your grandma is 97!'' another was lost for words. A third chimed in: ''being 97 alive walking talking eating is winning big already.. being healthy at amazing.'' ''Whattt? To be honest, that would be completely acceptable even with the age filter at 97. She looks phenomenal,'' someone else added.
