'God-tier' fresh flavor will return DAYS after being discontinued by Walkers
A 'GOD-tier' Crips flavor is returning to store shelves and fans can hardly wait.
Marmite makers have confirmed that Marmite crisps are on their way, just days after Walkers announced it would no longer produce its version.
Now the brand has partnered with Tayto Group to launch a range of branded chips and snacks.
Marmite Chips will be available in stores from February 12 for £2.
Followed by Cheese & Marmite Puffs, £2, and Marmite Tortillas, £2.25, which will be available to supermarkets and convenience channels in April.
The brand recently shared a Facebook and Instagram post showing a hand holding a single potato chip.
Marmite said: “Soon…”
It's no surprise that there was a buzz on both social media platforms with thousands of likes and hundreds of comments.
One Facebook user said: “I would like to see Marmite Pringles!”
Another said: “Marmite, you save the day! My mother will be so happy! I tried to buy her a box before the old version disappears, thank you, thank you.
“Excellent!! I'm all in,” said a third user.
One Instagram user claimed the product would be: “Perfect with a cheese sandwich.”
“Bring it on!” said someone else.
A third user shouted: “Omg!! This makes me so happy.”
Jolanda Wells, licensing manager at Unilever, told The Sun: “The Marmite-loving nation can rejoice as Marmite crisps will continue to hit shelves nationwide, with a new and improved flavour.
profile and a striking, fully Marmite branded package.
“Our exciting new partnership with Tayto allows us to deliver an exciting pipeline of tasty Marmite innovation that we know consumers will love.
“Marmite chips are a firm favorite with Marmite lovers, but they're also great for those 'first-timers' who are a little unsure whether to buy a jar of the black stuff or not.
“We expect that new products and new flavors, such as cheese, will appeal to new customers and therefore also drive category growth.”
Matt Smith, marketing director at Tayto Group, said: “We are delighted to be working with such an iconic British brand and are excited to bring this wide range of great tasting snacks to shelves across the country.”
If you want to get your hands on these, you might have to take a look around as they start rolling out.
Please note that prices may vary per store.
It comes days after The Sun exclusively revealed Walkers had discontinued the Marmite crisp flavor at the end of last year.
The 20-year fresh flavor has slowly disappeared from shelves and fans have been devastated.
Marmite is owned by Unilever and the brand produces its own range of Marmite flavored snacks.
Cheese lovers can get cheddar cheese and Marmite bites, which is British Ilchester cheddar mixed with Marmite and comes in a pack of five for £1.50.
Fans can also get baked Marmite cashews, we found a 90g bag for £2.50 on Ocado.
If you're a Marmite superfan, we tested six supermarket dupes to see if they measure up.
If you're a snack lover, it's worth noting that there are quite a few chips that Walkers has discontinued in recent months.
The snack maker apologized to Walkers lovers who said they couldn't find their favorite Smiths Cheese Moments crisps anywhere.
In October, Walkers axed its hugely popular Worcester sauce flavor and fans claimed “their sandwiches were ruined”.
Fans also said goodbye to Max Fiercely Flamin Hot chips and the Beef and Onion flavor in November.
In December, Walkers discontinued Sensations Regal Lamb and Mint chips.
