Walkers has launched a new limited edition flavour to its popular Sensations range ahead of Easter, leaving shoppers divided.

The crisp giant has unveiled slow-roasted pork and apple sauce crisps, inspired by the traditional British roast dinner.

Shoppers in Tesco stores across the UK have already noticed the new offering. Some shoppers have also reported spotting the seasonal flavour in Home Bargains stores.

Walkers remains Britain's most popular crisp brand with nearly 200 different flavours released over the years.

The new Easter-themed Sensations are available for a limited time only, with the brand urging customers to "be quick" if they want to sample the seasonal flavour.

But the launch has sparked divided opinions among crisp enthusiasts on social media. While some are eager to try the roast dinner-inspired snack, others have expressed strong negative reactions after tasting it.

The coral-coloured packaging features Easter egg designs and describes the flavour experience in two stages.

"First... The smoky aroma of spit-roast pork. Then... A taste of sweet and tangy apple sauce," reads the product description.



Clubcard holders can enjoy a significant discount, with the price dropping to £1.65 when using the loyalty scheme.

The crisps have been promoted on the popular food social media page New Foods UK, where consumer reaction to the new flavour has been notably mixed on social media.

Many enthusiasts expressed excitement, with comments like "They look yummy" and "They sound nice" appearing under the New Foods UK post.

"Omg need to try!" wrote one eager fan, while another echoed: "Hmm must try these."

"These look mint," commented a third supporter.

However, not all feedback has been positive, with some shoppers sharing distinctly negative experiences.

"My son got some this week and they are by all accounts nasty," revealed one disappointed parent.

Another critic was more forceful, stating: "Those crisps are absolutely revolting, touched my tongue and felt so sick."
