QUAVERS SUPERFAN BECOMES FIRST TO TRY ITS RETRO FLAVOURS
*** FREE FOR EDITORIAL USE *** Quaving mad: Christmas arrived early for Wiltshire-based mum of one Adele Keeble, after she beat off hundreds of crisp lovers to be crowned the nation's 'Quavers superfan' by Walkers today, winning a lifetime supply of the floaty, light snack and becoming the first person in the world to try the retro Prawn Cocktail and Salt & Vinegar Quavers, before their hotly anticipated January return after a decade off shelves.
Adele Keeble from Melksham, Wiltshire has beaten over 500 hopeful snack fans to become the first person in the country to try Prawn Cocktail and Salt & Vinegar flavour Quavers in almost 10 years. The 52-year-old mum of one, who works as a Software Asset Manager, has also been rewarded with a lifetime supply of the floaty light snacks.
To secure the opportunity, the superfan declared her love of the curly snack and the retro flavours via a poem, telling Walkers: “Quavers flavours are a joy to eat, flavour and texture hard to be beat. Calorie counting or a midday snack, it always leaves you wanting another pack. Let’s go quackers for Quavers and the flavours that are coming back. Hoping they’re in my stocking this year from Santa’s sack.”
Adele Keeble from Melksham, Wiltshire said: “I’ve loved Quavers for as long as I can remember, and the Salt & Vinegar and Prawn Cocktail flavours were my absolute favourites so when they disappeared from the shelves, I was devastated. When I found out they were making a comeback in the new year and I could be in with the chance of trying them before anyone else, it was a no brainer – I did everything I could! What’s more, I can confirm they taste as good as they ever did. Despite everything else this year, it’s been the best Christmas present!”
Will Robinson from Walkers also commented: “We know Quavers hold a special place in the nation’s heart and that there is a lot of love for them – especially for these two classic flavours. Following public demand and petitions to bring them back over the years, we’re delighted to hear that Adele has given them the seal of approval and confirmed they taste just as good as they did back in the 90s. We’re excited to hear what other Quavers fans think once they hit the shelves in the new year.”
Earlier this month, over 170,000 people cast their votes to bring back one of Quavers’ legendary flavours: Prawn Cocktail or Salt & Vinegar. Sending Twitter into meltdown, Walkers announced the good news that both flavours would in fact be available to fans in the new year.
The retro flavours – Prawn Cocktail and Salt & Vinegar – will be available in supermarkets nationwide from 10th January 2021.
