WALKERS have confirmed the return of a beloved fan-favourite crisp, but if you want to get your hands on them you will have to act fast.
The savoury snack giant is bringing back its iconic Worcester Sauce flavour, The Sun can reveal.

The tangy flavour was axed two years ago, leaving fans heartbroken.
At the time, many fans took to social media to slam the crisp maker for its decision.
In a post on X, formally Twitter, one user said: “You made a grave error dropping Worcester Sauce and I hope this hits your profits HARD.”
But just this week, the Walkers account has started to reply to these sorts of posts, telling fans to keep their eyes peeled and to check their DMs.
In a post hinting at its return, many fans left comments sharing their excitement.
One wrote: “Day has been made omfg.”
While another said: “OMG! So exciting. Travesty that these were discontinued.”
While a third said: “Oh my goodness! Heaven.”
And now the company has confirmed it is bringing back the crisp flavour.
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.
Fans looking to get their hands on the crisp may need to act fast.
That’s because the product is only being sold in Worcester in one specific shop.
A limited supply will be exclusively available at Charlie’s Convenience Store, 59 Barbourne Road, Worcester.
It appears they will only be available to buy on Tuesday March 4 from 10am.
That gives punters five days to plan their trip to the West Midlands town.
CANCELLED WALKERS CRISPS
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.
Why are products axed or recipes changed?
ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders.
Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether.
They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers.
There are several reasons why this could be done.
For example, government regulation, like the “sugar tax,” forces firms to change their recipes.
Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs.
They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable.
For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018.
It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version.
Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year.
Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks.
While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose.
