Shoppers go wild over new Walkers snack spotted on supermarket shelves based on beloved crisps
Scroll to see the bizarre new product CHEESEY DOES IT CHEESEY DOES IT Shoppers go wild over new Walkers snack spotted on supermarket shelves based on beloved crisps WALKERS fans are divided over a bold new twist on a British classic - Wotsits have been turned into a full-blown meal. The cheesy baked corn snack, a staple under the Walkers brand since 2002, has been given a surprising revamp. 4 A shopper spotted Wotsits Mac 'n' Cheese bowls in Tesco in a variety of flavours Credit: Food Finds UK Official 4 The shopper spotted a 'Sweet & Spicy' Mac 'n' Cheese bowl Credit: Food Finds UK Official 4 The shopper also spotted a 'Flamin Hot' Mac 'n' Cheese bowl Credit: Food Finds UK Official One savvy shopper took to the Facebook group Food Finds UK Official to share their bizarre find - Wotsits mac 'n' cheese bowls. The user wrote: "New Wotsits Mac 'n' cheese bowls spotted in Tesco!" They went on to list the flavours: "Sweet & Spicy, Flamin Hot, Really Cheesy." In response, one user commented: "Looks like pure poison." Other users took offence at the price, commenting: "£4 seems a bit much" and "These should be no more then £2". It comes as Walkers' Ketchup-flavoured crisps have returned to shelves after being axed. Tomato Ketchup crisps, which have been absent from supermarkets for the last two years, made their official return on March 17. But eagle-eyed fans had already spotted six-packs at Iceland days before. These were also accompanied by multi-packs of the Worcester Sauce flavoured crisps - which were originally brought back exclusively to a single store in Worcester. However, after a surge in demand, the company admitted it had made a mistake - and has since rolled out the snack nationwide. Walkers has a history of discontinuing certain flavours - and then bringing them back at a later point. Last year, it announced the return of another fan favourite flavour: BBQ Sauce. The popular variety, launched in the 1990s, had been discontinued before making its comeback in 2024. Walkers has also released some experimental flavours including Tomato Ketchup and Cheese Toastie with Heinz Beans. In 2018, Walkers celebrated its 70th anniversary with the launch of six limited-edition "flavours of the decades". These included Coronation Chicken, Roast Lamb & Mint, Cheese Fondue and BBQ Rib. 4 Walkers' Ketchup-flavoured crisps have recently returned to shelves along with Worcester Sauce crisps
