Walkers has confirmed the axing of another crisp flavour from its range of products.
The crisp giant is responsible for a range of products including Quavers, Wotsits, Monster Munch, Squares and Bugles as well as their various ranges like Max and Sensations.
Several popular crisp flavours have already been axed by Walkers in recent months.
In November, the crips manufacturer 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.

Walkers, speaking to The Sun, revealed the Marmite flavour had been discontinued but hoped the decision would pave the way for new crisps.
A Walkers spokesperson, speaking to The Sun, said: “We are very sorry to disappoint fans of Marmite flavour Walkers crisps with this news.
“We know many crisp lovers will hate to see this Walkers’ flavour go.
“This change will enable us to focus our efforts on making more of the flavours crisp fans love the most.”
Fans in tears after Marmite-flavoured crisps discontinued
The decision by Walkers to axe the Marmite-flavoured crisps has left fans disappointed calling the move a "travesty".
One fan on X (formerly Twitter) said: "Why oh why? @walkers_crisps have you discontinued Marmite crisps?! @marmite can you do anything about this travesty? #crisplover #marmitelover."
Another person commented: "@walkers_crisps Just read your stopping producing marmite flavour crisps now! That is so disappointing, I love marmite crisps, usually buy a multi pack!"
While a third person said the decision had their son in tears: "@walkers_crisps why are you discontinuing Marmite.
"Tje only crisps my son eats and he's now sobbing on his bed #outrage."
Although the Marmite-flavoured crisps have been discontinued, all hope is not lost for those fans hoping to get one last packet before they disappear for good.
Supermarkets including Tesco and Sainsbury's still have multipack bags of Marmite flavoured crisps in stock, according to their websites.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
