ALTHOUGH the city is home to Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce - our favourite crisp flavour (and the rest of The Midlands) is actually smoky bacon, according to Walkers.

And those in the south actually love Worcestershire Sauce the best instead.

Up in Scotland, it’s all about pickled onion, in Northern England - tomato ketchup is grand, the Welsh go weak for beef and onion and down in the South West, it’s not a question of love or hate - they can’t get enough of Marmite.

Rachel Holms, senior marketing director at Pepsico, said: "Cheese and onion, salt and vinegar and ready salted might be the more well-known nation’s favourites, but different parts of the UK have quirky and diverse tastes which have inspired Walkers over the last 70 years.

"Flavours like Marmite and smoky bacon have the same level of loyalty in certain regions as our traditional flavours.

"A brand like Walkers can’t claim to be the nation’s favourite unless it listens to the subtleties in the tastes of the nation."

And as part of its on-going 70th anniversary celebrations, Walkers is encouraging crisp fans to try all six of their regional favourites for a chance to win £5,000.

Walkers is putting all six flavours together into a limited edition 12-bag multi-pack for the very first time, alongside two variety multi-packs, and giving crisp connoisseurs the chance to win £5,000 for just trying each region’s relishes.

Crisp consumers can enter the competition by entering the promo codes on the back of each pack of crisps at walkers.co.uk/favourites.

Once a promo code from each of the six flavours are collected, participants win a free bag of crisps and your entry into the weekly draw to win £5,000 is confirmed.

And it’s not limited to just the one entry; each crisp fan can enter the draw once a week, every week, for the entire duration of the campaign, which ends on October 14.
