We think it's the perfect time to get down to the supermarket, because Walkers has just announced a brand new range of limited edition flavours, and we must try them all immediately.
Yep, your lunchtime snack just got a serious upgrade, as the crisp maker has announced four new, exciting packs have landed on shelves, including a hot dog flavour, a chicken tikka masala flavour and a steak and ale pie flavour.
A super-spicy sour cream and sweet chilli flavoured bag of crisps is also part of the range. And the best part? They've all been given punny footie inspired names, in honour of the summer of football we have ahead of us.
The names are:
- Steak and Ale 'Pie-nalty'
- Chicken 'Tackle' Masala
- 'Hotshot' Hot Dog
- Sour Cream And Chilli 'Kicker'
Oh, and the classic Salt and Vinegar crisps have been given a revamp, too, in honour of the brand's celebrity ambassador and all-round footie legend Gary Lineker.

In tribute to the man himself, we're finally seeing the return of Walkers' iconic Salt & Lineker crisps.
(Better luck next time, Michael Owen - looks like Cheese & Owen just missed out on the reboot!)
The crisps are available from Monday 17th May 2021 for one footie season only, but after that they'll be gone, so if there's a flavour that's taking your fancy you'd better be quick to ensure you stock up.

The football crisp flavours are inspired by iconic match day meals, whether you indulge in a pre-match pie outside the ground, a quick hot dog at half time or a celebratory curry following a big win.
You can buy them in major retailers nationwide, including Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons, while the Salt and Lineker crisps will be sold exclusively in Tesco stores.
While prices may vary, multipacks will have a RRP of £1.00, while grab bags will be £0.65, a larger sharing pack is set to have a RRP of £1.00, too.
Affy Halari, brand manager at Walkers, commented: "For some time, football fans haven't been able to enjoy their favourite match-day meals, so ahead of all the football this summer we're excited to unveil our brand-new crisps, Walkers Limited Edition Footy Favourites.

"Inspired by iconic match day meals, our new and unique flavours of Hot Dog, Sour Cream and Chili, Steak & Ale Pie and Chicken Tikka Masala are the perfect snack to cheer on your team to glory".
We think Walkers has really scored with this one...
