From Walkers and Tyrrells to Kettle and McCoy's there are so many crisps to choose from in the UK.

Even all of the major supermarkets like Aldi, Tesco, Asda and M&S have their own brand of crisps these days.

But which crisps are the best? Which brand stands out from the others as the most popular among crisp-loving Brits?

New and discontinued Walkers crisps

To celebrate Walkers being voted the most popular crisp brand in the UK, we've taken a look back at the products that have left and been introduced to its range recently (strap yourselves in because it's been a rollercoaster ride).

Several popular crisp flavours have been axed by the crisp giant recently.

In November 2023, Walkers revealed it had stopped making Salt and Vinegar Quavers, while in October fans discovered the popular Worcester sauce flavour had been discontinued.

Then in December, Walkers confirmed they had also stopped making Max Strong Hotsauce Blaze flavoured crisps and Max Wasabi Peanuts.

The company started 2024 by revealing it has stopped making Marmite-flavoured crisps.

Marmite crisps have since been re-introduced to the market with Northern Ireland brand Tayto.

Before in May, fans learnt Walkers' Sensations Streetmix range had also been discontinued (albeit back in 2022).

Discontinued UK chocolates and sweets

Walkers also recently revealed it had "no current plans" to bring back its popular Stax range, which was discontinued in the UK back in 2021, when quizzed by fans on X (formerly Twitter).

But its not been all bad news for crisp lovers with Walkers also releasing a number of new flavours in 2024.

In February, it added two new flavours to its Sensations range - Mature Cheddar and Chilli Chutney and Crushed Sea Salt & Black Peppercorn.
