It\u2019s a big week for crisp lovers! <\/p>\n

We kicked off with Walkers<\/a> unveiling two new permanent flavours<\/a>, which was a big deal, as it’s the first time in decades the brand’s core crisp<\/a> range has been updated.<\/p>\n

And now another iconic crisp giant has announced plans to launch new products, that are a twist on classics.<\/p>\n

Nik Naks, which have been a lunchtime staple since 1982<\/a>, revealed new Twisters <\/strong>– a new spin on the existing crisps, but shaped to look like a whirling, twisting tornado. <\/p>\n

These will be available in two fan favourite flavours: Nice \u2018n\u2019 Spicy and Tangy \u2018n\u2019 Cheesy and the new look is a huge milestone for the brand.<\/p>\n

This is because it’s the first time in its 40-year history that a different shape has been released. <\/p>\n

The new Twisters are going to be exclusively sold in Sainsbury\u2019s <\/a>supermarkets<\/a> from October and will cost \u00a32.50 for a multi-pack of nine bags.<\/p>\n

If you’ve never tried Nik Naks before, this could be the time to do so, that way you’ll be able to compare and contrast the differences when the new ones arrive.<\/p>\n

Made of corn, the original Nice ‘n’ Spicy option taste tangy and spicy, while the Cheesy ones bring a traditional cheese flavour. <\/p>\n

Shoppers have long been big fans of the former especially, with reviews on the Tesco<\/a> website hailing the Nice ‘n’ Spicy crisps as ‘small but mighty’, ‘flawless’, ‘delicious’, ‘different from other crisps’ and ‘the perfect snack’.<\/p>\n

One customer gave five stars, writing: ‘Amazing taste. What can I say, Nik Naks have been an absolute favourite of mine since childhood and they haven’t changed a bit. Still taste the same, my favourite flavour is Sweet BBQ, but I still love the tast of Nice ‘n’ Spicy ones.<\/p>\n

‘It’s great value for money, the texture is crunchy and great.’<\/p>\n

Another reads: ‘I love Nice \u2018N\u2019 Spicy \u2013 they\u2019re my go-to when I\u2019m craving something with a bit of a kick. The knobbly, crunchy sticks are so satisfying, and the spicy flavor really hits the spot without being overwhelming. <\/p>\n

‘Perfect for when I want a bold, fun snack that\u2019s a little different from the usual.’<\/p>\n
