Walkers Sensations are God Tier crisps. The Thai Sweet Chilli and Roast Chicken & Thyme flavours are up there with the best.
But the snack giant’s new offering hasn’t exactly been embraced.
The limited edition Slow Roasted Pork & Apple Sauce flavour, launched in time for Easter, has left taste tasters divided.
Walkers said they were ‘unforgettable’ with an extraordinary flavour, describing it as ‘a rich, smoky aroma of slow-roasted pork balanced with sweet, tangy apple sauce.’
What’s not to love, right? Well, shoppers aren’t convinced.
Snack critic @johns_snackreviews tried the new flavour, and dubbed them the ‘worst crisps ever made’.
He scored the Sensations a rock-bottom 0/10 and said they’d been ‘slam dunked straight in the bin.’
Penning his thoughts on Instagram, John, who has amassed more than 25,000 followers on the social media platform, said: ‘They taste like sick and smell like out of date meat. Full blown gagged.’
He added that the crisps were a ‘shambles’.
His followers agreed to, with comments labelling them ‘rank’ and ‘gross’.
One commenter wrote: ‘This flavour is nasty and the balance is completely off… These are quite possibly the worst crisps I’ve ever had.’
It’s not the first time @johns_snackreviews has had some choice words to say about Walkers crisps.
When the company launched Extra Flamin’ Hot Wotsits, John warned his followers of a strange aftertaste, writing: ‘Lemon, lemon, lemon – that’s all I could taste.’
But, not everyone agrees that the Slow Roasted Pork & Apple Sauce offering should be avoided at all costs.
