Aldi stores across Gedling borough are selling a controversial new Walkers crisp flavour that one shopper has already called ‘a crime against humanity’.
In what is a combination that has surprised snack lovers, Walkers has decided to launch Christmas pudding-flavoured crisps.
The new limited edition Sweet & Spiced Christmas Pudding flavour comes as part of the Walkers Festive Selection Pack. Other flavours included in the bundle include Pigs in Blankets and Festive Turkey.
You can currently get your hands on the selection pack for £1.65 on ‘Specialbuys’ offer from your nearest Aldi.
And so far the Sweet & Spiced Christmas Pudding edition has sparked a strongest reaction, with Aldi proudly claiming that one TikTok user dubbed it a “crime against humanity”.
Reactions to the Christmas Pudding flavour in particular started coming in thick and fast on social media.
“Hell NO,” one person wrote in the comments on a social media post announcing the launch of the Christmas Pudding flavour, while another wrote: “Christmas pudding is disgusting… why would they make crisps with that taste?”, and a third questioned: “Christmas pudding? Is someone taking the p**s?”.
Not everyone was displeased though, as one pleasantly-surprised shopper wrote in reaction on Instagram: “I tried the Christmas pudding ones today just to be curious, and honestly they are nice – they taste of Carmel and cinnamon.”
