While not connected to BrExit, since the UK left the EU, the quality, flavours and cost of Walkers Crisps appear to have all suffered. I used to see a 6-pack of Quavers for £1, a 12-pack for £2, and a 24-pack was £3, which changed to a 20-pack for £3 (All in the local Tesco store). After BrExit, and Covid, and following the IT problems a Walkers, which all seemed to affect supplies, a 6-pack is now £1.75-£2, a £12 pack £2.75 to £3, and 20/24 packs are not to be found. In protest, I've been looking at other options, generally Walkers packs of potato crisps are priced similarly, though 22-pack boxes are available. The thing is, the flavours are now pretty insipid, not at all comparable to the flavour from 5 years ago. Bring back Smiths, Golden Wonder and the other crisps that provided taste and value from years ago.
