Shoppers rejoiced. The crisps have real Worcestershire Sauce. Lea and Perrins makes it. The crisps are back briefly.
The line went outside Charlie’s store on Barbourne Road in Worcester. It is the only place selling them now.
Gubir Singh runs the store. People call him Gav. His family owns it since 2019. He is 31 years old.
Gav felt honored by the relaunch. He said it played a role in the city’s history. He wants people to visit while they last.
Walkers celebrated the crisps’ return. A huge crisp packet floated on the River Severn. It measured six meters.
Some fans came from Glasgow. They wanted crisps straight from production. Four fans got the first bags.
Katie Barnes is a superfan from Kent. She celebrated her 28th birthday. She had waited years for this.
Katie often talked about the flavor. She took off work and traveled far. It was a great birthday gift.
Irina Panescu works at Walkers. She said the crisps are more Worcestershire-y. They worked with Lea and Perrins.
She apologized to fans. The supply is for Worcester locals. They love it, she said. The town turned purple.
