Walkers confirms major change to popular crisps
Fans of Walkers crisps have been left outraged after a very popular flavour appeared to have vanished from supermarket shelves.
Twitter users rushed to social media to express their concerns when they couldn't find any packets of Monster Munch Flamin' Hot.
The claw-shaped snack is very popular in the UK and the Flamin' Hot version is one of Walkers' most beloved flavours according to dismayed fans.
Megan said on X, formerly Twitter: '@walkers_crisps what is happening with monster munch flamin hot?!
'Cannot be found anywhere only the sweet and spicy variation which cannot compete with the original.'

Walkers revealed the brand had just been renamed and given a new look, which is why buyers hadn't been able to recognise it on the shelves.
They replied: 'We have given them a facelift! They are now called Sweet and Spicy Flamin' Hot. We'll be sure to pass your comments over to the wider team.'
When Monster Munch was first acquired by Walkers in 1995 it offered Roast Beef, Pickled Onion and Saucy flavours.
A spicier alternative - known as Flamin' Hot - was then added to the range and it became a fan favourite.
It comes after UK crisp lovers were left disappointed to learn that another popular flavour has disappeared from shelves last year.

Walkers confirmed to a snack fan on X (formerly Twitter) that it is no longer making Salt & Vinegar Quavers.
There was further disappointment expressed that the news was only revealed as a result of the crisp giant responding to a fan.
Taking to X, the social media user called Linda asked: 'have you stopped making salt and vinegar quavers? I can't find them anywhere.'
To which Walkers responded: 'We're sorry to break it to you Linda, but we're not making this flavour anymore.'
