The user responded to the news by saying: "Can you please break it to my teenage daughter, because she’s not going to take this well."

Walkers' Max Hot Wings crisps were first released in the UK in January 2018, and have received rave reviews.

One review on the Sainsbury's website reads: "These crisps are getting harder to find so when on special offer I grab a few packs.

"These are my only crisps that I buy just love them."

Another shopper added: "I enjoy the fire max range but out of them all, this one is the best."

A third fan described Walkers' Max Hot Wings crisps as "addictive".
