The crisp manufacturer has removed a popular line from shops for the second occasion within four years.

Beyond its standard offerings, Walkers also produces Wotsits, Quavers, Monster Munch, Squares and Bugles, along with lines such as Max and Sensations.

The company has eliminated numerous items over recent years, among them:

Worcester Sauce flavour crisps

Salt and Vinegar Quavers

Max Strong Hotsauce Blaze variety

Marmite flavoured crisps

Max Wasabi Peanuts

Sensations Streetmix

Max Pizza Hut Texan BBQ variety

Pepperoni Feast crisps

Prawn Cocktail Quavers

Walkers has now confirmed that its Crinkles line has been removed once again.

This beloved range first arrived in British shops in 2011, offering several varieties such as:

Simply Sea Salted

Cheddar & Onion

Salt & Malt Vinegar

Sweet Chilli

The Crinkles range disappeared from stores in 2022, only to reappear on UK shelves two years later in 2024.

The Crinkles range had earned a loyal following among snack enthusiasts.

Walkers has now stated that Crinkles crisps have been discontinued for a second time.

Manufacturing of the line concluded in February, meaning the product will only remain on shelves until existing supplies are exhausted.

A Walkers representative, speaking to The Sun, indicated that after a successful period, Crinkles would soon be departing from retail outlets. The representative acknowledged that some consumers might find this disappointing, but reminded them of the available alternatives including new Walkers Baked varieties Slow Roasted Beef and Sun Dried Tomato & Basil alongside the stronger Walkers MAX options. The company explained that adjusting their product range enables them to concentrate on developing the flavours that customers enjoy most.

Enthusiasts have taken to online platforms to express their fondness for Crinkles.

One shopper, reviewing a Simply Salted multipack on Amazon, noted this had been among their favourite Walkers products and expressed disappointment at its unavailability.

Another purchaser on eBay described them as their favourite crisps, praising the salty crunch and recommending them as an ideal evening snack with a cold drink.

A third individual simply declared them the finest crisps Walkers produces, noting the excellent seasoning, generous portion size and expressing wholehearted endorsement.
