Back in 2022 Walkers discontinued it's popular Worcester Sauce crisps causing an entire country to cry out in unison.
"Hang on.....@walkers_crisps have discontinued Worcester Sauce flavour?!?!?!? This is outrageous, we need to petition to bring these back immediately," one fan said on X (formerly Twitter) at the time.

But the same group of people, that just years before had been left heartbroken, rejoiced upon news Walkers was bringing back Worcester Sauce crisps to the UK.
At first, the "little purple bags of joy" were only available at Charlie's Convenience Store in Worcester.
Now Walkers Worcester Sauce crisps are set to land on shelves at retailers across the country on Monday (March 17).
I never understood the unconditional love some people showed towards these previously discontinued crisps, until now.
Having grown up in Australia, I never had the opportunity to try Walkers Worcester Sauce crisps.
So when I finally managed to get my hands on a packet I was intrigued to see what all the fuss was about.
I now completely understand why people queued up in Worcester and have been spending ridiculous amounts on eBay to get their hands on a packet of these delicious crisps.
I'll be honest, I'm on the fence when it comes to Worcester Sauce in general, so I went into this taste test fully expecting not to like these crisps. How wrong I was.
From the moment I took my first bite I was hooked. That slightly tangy, but not overpowering flavour was delicious.
I was transported back to eating crisps as a child in Australia, many years ago, as they reminded me of Smith's Lightly Tangy chips (or crisps if you're in the UK).
After trying Walkers Worcester Sauce crisps for the first time I am now completely hooked. (Image: Patrick Glover) So now I am left wanting more.
I have one packet left in my kitchen which I dare not eat, as I want to savour it, just in case I am unable to get another packet.

I went looking for discontinued chocolates still on sale in UK - here's what I found
But it also leaves me wondering, along with thousands of fellow crisp-lovers across the UK, why Walkers discontinued the popular crisps in the first place.
They truly are Walkers' best crisp flavour and I'm glad I have only just discovered their deliciousness, otherwise I'm not sure how I would have coped these past few years.
So I now issue a plea to Walkers - please never take away Worcester Sauce crisps again.
Walkers Worcester Sauce crisps will be available in retailers across the UK from Monday, March 17.

'Love Island' Contestant Issues Apology After Being Removed From Show For Saying The N-Word
Shortly after Peacock announced the "Love Island USA" cast in late May 2025, video clips of a new islander, Yulissa Escobar, saying the N-word on a previous podcast went viral online. During the season's second episode, which aired on June 4, 2025, the "Love Island USA" narrator, Iain Stirling, announced that producers had removed Escobar from the villa, which many fans assumed was due to her past problematic statements. Now, after some time to process the news that she'd no longer be in the running for the $100,000 grand prize on the most recent season of "Love Island," Escobar released an apology, which has drawn a mixed reaction from fans. On Instagram, Escobar posted a graphic that read, "Owning my mistakes; speaking my truth." In the caption, she wrote, "First, I want to apologize for using a word I had no right in using," referring to viral clips of her using the N-word while speaking about men during a previous podcast episode. "In those clips, I used a word I never should've used, a racial slur," she wrote. "I used it ignorantly, not fully understanding the weight, history, or pain behind it." She continued, "I wasn't trying to be offensive or harmful, but I recognize now that intention doesn't excuse impact. And the impact of that word is real. It's tied to generations of trauma, and it is not mine to use." Elsewhere, in her caption, Escobar explained that when she used the word, she was "speaking casually in conversation" and wasn't thinking "deeply or critically" about how her words could impact others. "The truth is, I didn't know better then, but I do now. I've taken the time to reflect, to learn, and to grow from that moment," she added. "I've changed a lot since then, not just in how I speak, but in how I show up, how I carry myself, and how I honor the experiences of others," Escobar continued. "Growth means recognizing when you were wrong, even if it's uncomfortable, and choosing to move forward with humility and accountability." As she finished, the now-former reality star explained that she was choosing to speak for herself and did not want anyone commenting on her behalf. "I'm choosing to speak for myself because I take full ownership of my actions. Do not listen to the fake statements. This is my official statement. This is me, speaking directly to you," she wrote. On X, formerly Twitter, many "Love Island" viewers voiced their opinions about Escobar's statement, with many questioning its sincerity. "Girl, you just got kicked out of the villa," one user wrote. "How much time have you really taken to reflect on this?" "I understand why they chose to have her exit the villa, but she didn't learn anything by that," another user commented. "This apology may or may not have been genuine. Having her stay in the villa and understand the weight of the word would have either been a better lesson or shown viewers how she really feels." "Not understanding the weight, history, or pain of the word? I don't buy it," a user posted. "It doesn't take thinking 'deeply or critically' to know not to say the number one racial slur," another user shared. "This is so embarrassing." However, under Escobar's Instagram post, the 27-year-old also received support from a handful of followers. One user said, "Everybody makes mistakes," while another said, "Life is about growth and learning." "We live, we learn, and we grow!" a third commented. "This doesn't define you. Sending you warm hugs." Since Escobar's exit from the villa, "Love Island USA" producers have brought in two new cast members to turn up the heat, bringing the current lineup to 11. For the women, the cast includes: Chelley Bissainthe, 27, from Orlando, Florida Olandria Carthen, 27, from Decatur, Alabama Huda Mustafa, 24, from Raleigh, North Carolina Belle-A Walker, 22, from Honolulu Cierra Ortega, 25, from Arizona For the men, the cast includes: Austin Shepard, 26, from Northville, Michigan Ace Greene, 22, from Los Angeles Taylor Williams, 24, from Oklahoma City Jeremiah Brown, 25, from Los Angeles Nicolas Vansteenberghe, 24, from Jacksonville, Florida Charlie Georgiou, 27, from the United Kingdom

James Blunt: It's not a love song, actually
When James Blunt released 'You're Beautiful' in 2005, it quickly climbed the charts around the world, hailed as a bittersweet love song perfect for weddings, first dances, and sappy rom-com montages. Twenty years later, the British singer is reminding fans that the track was never meant to be romantic. In fact, it's about something entirely different. 'Whoever thought a song about being high as a kite, stalking someone else's girlfriend would resonate quite so much?' Blunt said this week in a video posted to X (formerly Twitter). 'Thank you. You guys are beautiful.' Blunt has long maintained that the lyrics were never meant to be sentimental. The opening lines describe a brief, possibly delusional encounter on the subway: 'She smiled at me on the subway / She was with another man.' It's not a relationship. It's a fleeting obsession told from the point of view of someone clearly not doing great. 'It's always been portrayed as romantic,' he told the Guardian in 2020. 'But it's actually a bit creepy. It's about a guy (me) who's high and stalking someone else's girlfriend on the subway.' In 2014, Blunt admitted he grew to resent the song's ubiquity. 'It was force-fed down people's throats,' he told Hello! magazine. 'It became annoying.' The backlash to the hit was swift and intense, making Blunt a punchline. Over the years, Blunt has leaned into the joke, building a reputation as one of music's most self-aware and funniest personalities on social media. He's repeatedly poked fun at himself and his fans, even getting into a bizarre online spat with Piers Morgan over coffin shapes during the pandemic. Now, two decades after 'You're Beautiful' took over radios and wedding playlists everywhere, Blunt is celebrating its strange legacy with gratitude, a sense of humor and a reminder that, no, it's not a love song. And yet, the song helped him buy the house he lives in today. As he puts it: 'Thank you. You're beautiful.'

Kenya Moore Reacts to RHOA Reunion Disinvite: ‘Back on Bravo Soon'
It's official — Kenya Moore will not appear at the Season 16 Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion. Bravo just dropped the seating chart for the sitdown, which confirmed that Kenya was not on the premises. Oddly enough, her nemesis Brit Eady didn't show up either. While Bravo fans continue to make sense of what's going on with RHOA, Kenya chimed in on Twitter/X with a hopeful message about her Housewives status. She said she felt 'disappointed' to not be a part of the reunion while teasing a possible return to reality TV. The cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta sat down with Andy Cohen to film the Season 16 reunion on Thursday, June 5. Weeks before the taping, Kenya said that she was 'disinvited' by the network. She also criticized Bravo for not having her back when Brit made the comments about having a weapon. While the cameras were rolling on the reunion, Kenya posted on social media. She sounded willing to make amends with the network, regardless of the salty feelings she had about the hair spa situation. 'I'm disappointed to not be a part of the #RHOA 16 reunion taping today,' Kenya began. 'Please know I take full accountability for my actions and deeply apologize to all those affected including Brittney, the cast, crew, guests and viewers. I look forward to seeing you all back on Bravo soon,' the RHOA star continued. Although Bravo gave Kenya the boot in the middle of Season 16, she has consistently said that she was still under contract with the network. Whether or not any of this means she'll be back on RHOA is still to be determined. Keep your fingers crossed, Team Twirl. In the meantime, Kenya has been focusing on her daughter and, yes, her hair spa. Despite the grand opening making headlines for all the wrong reasons, the spa remains open for business. The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo and on Hayu in the UK and Ireland. TELL US – WHAT'S YOUR REACTION TO KENYA'S STATEMENT? DO YOU THINK BRAVO SHOULD HAVE INVITED HER TO THE RHOA SEASON 16 REUNION? The post Kenya Moore Reacts to RHOA Reunion Disinvite: 'Back on Bravo Soon' appeared first on Reality Tea.
