Walkers have announced that prawn cocktail Wotsits will be making a return, but customers are not happy about the pre-order price.
Following weeks of teasing, the crisp giant announced on Friday that the much-loved snack would coming back — though with a slight change.
The flavoured crisp will be returning after 20 years away in the form of Wotsits Giants — which are significantly larger than the standard-sized snack.

Sharing the news on their social media channels, Walkers wrote: "BIGGER. BETTER. PRAWNIER. Prawn Cocktail Wotsits are back and now GIANT We’re almost as excited about it as you are."
The crisps will begin appearing in supermarkets from March 7, and Walkers also shared an Amazon link where customers can pre-order the snack to be delivered to their home.
Fans on Twitter and Facebook were quick to share their thoughts, and many were delighted at the news.
Writing on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, one consumer said: "I can’t wait. The best flavour!"
"Omg yessssss i love these," a second shared.
A third wrote: "Oh I’ve so been waiting for these".
"I NEED these in my life right now," posted a fourth.
Another stated: "I should not be this excited about a bag of crisp!"
However, some fans had one major complaint about the announcement — the price of the pre-order.
Those who click on the Amazon link that Walkers shared will find that a case of nine packets of the crisps will cost £17.91.
One frustrated fan commented: "£17.91 FOR 9 PACKETS.......I think I will wait until they come out in the shops....."
Another said: "For that price? Will pass thanks."
"£18 for 9! You having a laugh," a third posted alongside a laughing emoji.
Another incredulous Facebook user asked: "How much?"
Of the return of the snack, Josephine Taylor from Walkers said: “We know just how excited everyone is going to be to try this legendary flavour again.
“It’s been a challenge keeping this giant secret under wraps but we can now officially announce that our most requested flavour of all time - Wotsits Prawn Cocktail - is back.”
She added: "Following a challenging two years, I’m sure we could all benefit from a moment of melty Wotsits enjoyment and we hope that devotees of the original flavour agree that this Giant version is worth the 20-year wait."
