The Flavour Combination
A new mockup proposes one of the more unusual flavour crossovers seen recently: Walkers crisps seasoned with Vimto. The concept, presented in a standard 32.5g bag, imagines the distinctive taste of the classic British cordial applied to a potato crisp, complete with a ‘Fizzy Fruit’ descriptor.
Vimto’s flavour is more complex than simple fruit. It’s a specific blend of grape, raspberry, and blackcurrant, famously augmented with a secret recipe of herbs and spices. Translating this to a crisp seasoning presents a unique challenge, balancing the inherent sweetness of the cordial with the savoury, starchy base of the crisp. The ‘fizzy’ element suggests a sherbet-like powder or popping candy, a texture sometimes seen in confectionery but rarely in the crisp aisle.
Walkers’ Innovation History
While a soft drink crossover would be a new direction for Walkers, the brand has a long history of moving beyond its core range. The permanent fixtures remain the undisputed classics: Ready Salted, Cheese & Onion, and Salt & Vinegar. Prawn Cocktail and Smoky Bacon also occupy a permanent spot in the national consciousness.
However, the company frequently launches limited editions and collaborations that test more adventurous profiles. The current lineup includes flavours like Hot Honey, Masala Chicken, and Sticky Teriyaki, all of which bring a degree of sweetness and complexity. The most direct precedent for a partnership is the Walkers Max KFC Zinger, a successful co-branding effort with a major food chain. This Vimto concept, under its ‘Real Flavour Innovation Editions’ banner, would take that collaborative spirit into the drinks category for the first time.
What the real range looks like
The current Walkers lineup includes classics like Ready Salted and Cheese & Onion, alongside adventurous flavours like Hot Honey, Masala Chicken, and Sticky Teriyaki. A Vimto crisp would push the boundaries even further than their existing food brand crossover, the Walkers Max KFC Zinger.
