News you can trust since 1817
Rightly hailed for their usual Christmas release - Pigs in Blankets flavoured crisps - this winter's limited edition flavour has left many feeling a little perplexed.
This year, they will be selling candy cane flavoured crisps; essentially, a savoury snack that tastes like peppermint.
Picture: Tesco
Priced at £1 for a 150g, the new crisps are the latest release from the limited edition Tesco Finest range and are described by the supermarket brand as "hand cooked crisps seasoned and dusted with a sweet peppermint flavouring" for a "sweet and salty taste experience".

As usual, Twitter users were fairly opinionated about the Christmas themed product.

The new crisps aren't red and white but described as having a "pinkish tinge".
