Walkers has confirmed that one of its crisp flavours Brits “absolutely love” has been axed – and the company has no plans to reverse the decision in the near future
Walkers has delivered a “sad” update to crisp enthusiasts – announcing the discontinuation of a beloved snack.
The UK crisp giant broke the news to fans, confirming that the much-loved Stax range has been axed. A dismayed customer inquired on X, previously known as Twitter: “Hi, I’m from abroad and absolutely love Lays Stax. Are they available here? Cause I haven’t found any.”
Walkers responded with a sad face emoji, saying: “Hi Jonathan, we used to make Walkers Stax here in the UK, but sadly they’re no more!” The company confirmed there are “no current plans” to bring back the popular crisps. On Amazon, where the snacks were once highly rated, one customer lamented: “Fast shipping! Lays Stax taste great! I love that the packaging from Lays states to please take care of them as if they were eggs!”
“That would have been nice! Sadly they weren’t. There are some whole chips still in the cans thankfully. There are a lot of broken ones too though. We sure don’t want Amazon or anyone else to ship eggs this way.”
“These are my favourite chips – shame that they have to come all the way from the US, but worth every cent,” a second said. “These are good to have around. My shipment never arrived but we eat them often so I know they are good,” added a third.
But another said, according to Birmingham Live: “Literally…..Broken Pieces. I ordered these in August, they came and were delivered just fine. Honestly, not one broken chip. Flavor is very good, fresh, crispy. Purchased a case of 11 on the 11th of Nov, and every container had horribly broken chips and yes, sounded like broken glass.”
And another said: “I love these. I received them in good condition. There is bound to be some broken chips, which I am ok with. They were packed good.”
