Bottom of the list of those in the survey included Mini Cheddars, Nik Naks, Salt n’ Shake and Walkers Squares.

Channel 5 shared the results in a pyramid graphic on Twitter, sparking backlash.

The Brexit of crisps?

Many compared the division over the top crisps verdict to the nation’s split opinion over Brexit.

Others weighed in, lamenting the lowly position of some of their favourite brands.

One wrote, “I’ve lost faith in the British public after this travesty, no wonder the country is falling apart if people think pringles are god tier while wotsits and quavers are only mid tier.”

Another commented, “That is all kinds wrong! Squares on the bottom… it’s a travesty.” Some were not so opposed to the ranking however, and clearly echoed the beliefs of those polled in the programme.

Britain’s Favourite Crisps was broadcast on Channel 5 on Sunday March 24. It can be re-watched on My 5 on demand.
