McCoy's launches two new flavours for the first time in MONTHS and they are inspired by famous US fast food

The Sun5 days ago
MCCOY'S has launched two new flavours and they are inspired by famous US fast food.
Shoppers can now tuck into Blazin' Buffalo Chicken Wings and Secret Burger Sauce inspired crisps.
The savoury delights are inspired by popular American fast food dishes and have been rolled out to celebrate its sponsorship of the NFL UK & Ireland.
The crisp brand is sponsoring the sport for the second year running.
Amy Heap, marketing manager at McCoy's says: 'McCoy's is famous for delivering bold flavours with an unbeatable crunch, and our latest NFL-inspired editions are no exception.
"We're super excited to be adding Blazin' Buffalo Chicken Wings and Secret Burger Sauce to our existing portfolio and can't wait to hear what McCoy's fans think!'
You can pick up a six pack of the snack for £2.25, with Tesco, Morrisons and Asda all appearing to stock the treat.
Single bags of the Blazin' Buffalo flavour will reportedly arrive in convenience retailers for £1.35 come early August.
It has been months since fans of the brand have got to try a new flavour.
The snack maker rolled out a new Hot 'N' Spicy Crisps last January.
And it is not the only new crisps flavour landing on supermarket shelves.
Discos is set to bring back its pickled onion flavour after it was last seen on shelves in 2005.
Walkers confirm they've discontinued fan favourite flavour
The tangy snack will be sold in convenience stores across the UK from August 27, giving punters just a matter of weeks before they're reunited with the flavour.
Customers can expect to pay £1.35 for a 70g bag when they land in shops.
Walkers has also launched new Red Leicester Quavers.
Fans have already been going wild for the new flavour, which is already available to buy from Premier stores and Farm Foods.
A single-serve bag currently costs £1.35.
MORE NEW AND RETURNING PRODUCTS
Cadbury has launched a new a new Bournville dark chocolate at Sainsbury's.
The treat is packed with chopped hazelnuts and has a luxurious salted caramel flavouring woven through each piece.
White chocolate Maltesers have also made a grand return to shelves earlier this year after a 10-year hiatus.
A 30g bag is currently available to buy in Morrisons for £1.05, while a larger 74g pouch costs £1.75.
Elsewhere, Opal Fruits, which were rebranded as Starburst in 1998, will now be available across major UK retailers.
Customers will be able to purchase the treats from Sainsbury's, Tesco, and Morrisons stores for shoppers to enjoy a taste of nostalgia.
Aldi also said it would bring back its "addictive" Specially Selected Prawn Cocktail Crisps.
Why are products axed or recipes changed?
ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders.
Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether.
They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers.
There are several reasons why this could be done.
For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes.
Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs.
They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable.
For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018.
It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version.
Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year.
Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks.
While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose.

NFL star Deebo Samuel left fuming after interviewer spills secret live on air in painful exchange

Commanders star Deebo Samuel was left shaking his head in disbelief after NFL Network's Mike Garafolo accidentally revealed the wide receiver is battling a hand injury - live on air. Garafolo was left red-faced at the end of an interview with Samuel during a segment on 'Inside Training Camp Live' earlier this week. 'Alright, edit that part out, just strike that... that didn't happen,' the reporter said after his on-air blunder drew glares from the wide receiver. Samuel joined NFL Network to discuss 'good vibes' around the Washington Commanders heading into the 2025 season. But the interview instead ended with a painfully awkward exchange. 'Usually, I'll give a handshake when a guy leaves but I tried to shake your hand on the way up,' Garafolo began. Very awkward interaction between Deebo Samuel and NFL Network at the end of their interview after Saturday's practice. @JPFinlayNBCS @nflnetwork — Steronimo Gilton (@viceroy_14) August 2, 2025 The wide receiver joined the Commanders earlier this year after five seasons with the 49ers '(But) you said "No, no, no. I got a little jam in my finger today..." Though Samuel remained silent, only staring at the interviewer, Garafolo's co-host did his best to stop the NFL Network reporter digging himself a deeper hole. 'Woah, woah,' he said. 'Uh oh...' That caught the attention of Garafolo, who responded: 'Oh was I not supposed to say that? Alright, edit that part out, just strike that. that didn't happen.' Samuel shook his head before the host offered his fist for the receiver to bump. 'I ain't getting anything now,' Garafolo said as the network cut away from the interview. 'This is ridiculous,' someone could then be heard saying. Samuel was traded to the Commanders back in March after six seasons with the San Francisco 49ers.

Rosie O'Donnell: Common Knowledge Gilded Balloon at Appleton Tower (Venue 140) ★★★★☆ Rosie O'Donnell begins her story with the death of her mother, when she was just 11 years old. 'It's not what you were expecting,' she tells the crowd. This is not stand-up, it's comedy storytelling which is slow and earnest, full of emotion, but also funny when it chooses to be. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Rosie O'Donnell: Common Knowledge | Steve Ullathorne It's a one woman show but Rosie's unseen co-star is Dakota, the child she adopted as a baby, who moved with her to Ireland and whose pronouncements on life often elicit the biggest laughs. Dakota, who is now known as Clay, is an autistic child with a huge vocabulary, an encyclopaedic knowledge and an insistence on telling the truth. Clay, in Rosie's telling, has an uncanny wisdom which acts as a chorus to the show. O'Donnell is a tremendous storyteller. She holds us in the palm of her hand as she tells us about her childhood, her five adopted children and her move to Ireland to escape the terror of Trump's America. In exile she discovers a very different response to her celebrity. And the difference for Clay, who is still at school, is eye opening. Rosie doesn't dwell on the world she's left behind, although she does share some very orange pictures she painted of her former president. The deranged tweet in which he threatens to remove her US citizenship is also shown. It would be wholly understandable if Rosie indulged in some Trump bashing – but she doesn't. Instead she pledges to find a better life for her and her child and to help other autistic kids. She's gentle, thoughtful, intelligent and wise with an ability to conjure emotion which is spellbinding. This isn't what anyone was expecting, but make no mistake about it, we are in the presence of an absolutely class act. CLAIRE SMITH until 10 August Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Alan Resnick: One Funny Hour Monkey Barrel Comedy (Venue 515) ★★★★☆ Alan Resnick seems like a nice guy, short, unprepossessing and slightly nebbish. He lets his shy tech open the show by performing an earnest-sounding poem. And yes, Resnick's potted overview of the various main kinds of comedy seems a bit insincere, spanning clowning, crowd work, edgy comedy and racist comedy, the latter deemed supreme despite his avowed detestation of racism, yet followed through in an arbitrary, but still hate-informed, way. And the mime of an outwardly unthreatening American man shooting everyone in the audience of his late-night basement show dead with dedicated precision might also be a bit upsetting for anyone not raised in a gun culture. Still, I thought I had an approximate handle on the sort of whimsical contrarianism that Resnick was bringing to Edinburgh for his debut, as I, like the rest of the crowd, accepted a non-disclosure form and was instructed to sign without reading. Mindful of the reviewer's responsibility to their readers, I only pretended to. Yet respect for the comedian's craft prohibits me from revealing too much more. Suffice to say, I found Resnick's analysis of one of the most spoken-about and pressing issues facing humanity initially interesting but increasingly yawn-inducing as it wore on, with him offering no quarter in the depth and detail of his visual lecture. Just as I was mentally writing the show off as pretentious, anti-comedy guff however, it happened. Did it justify everything that had come before? Yes. Is it escalating variations on the same joke for perhaps 20 minutes? I'll say yes because I lost track of time. Beyond the horrific Emperor's New Clothes aspect there are countless moral implications to Resnick's art that he simply glosses over, emboldened by his satirical, philosophical intent. Tedious, hilarious and awful, One Funny Hour is once seen, never forgotten. In your nightmares. JAY RICHARDSON until 24 August Michael Shafar – Inappropriate The Beehive Inn (Venue 178) ★★★☆☆ Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad When Shafar really gets going with this show it will be astounding. Right now it is a tantalising taste of an hour that drives across taboos like a combine harvester through comedy corn. He starts gently – why a white woman with a yoga mat in your area is a red flag and the bleakness of British children's fiction – but once he gets his teeth into autism, self diagnosis and white people's desperate need for hardship, he is on a real roll. He seems a little tentative with such strong material, but we are his first audience of the run. His is equal opportunity Sacred Cow slaughter. Immigration, racism, Jews driving German cars, KKK babysitters, the benefits of gay soldiers and why you should fly Emirates… there is enough here to upset half of Edinburgh and the fresh ideas just keep hitting us. Having said which, his idea for a way to replace gender reveal parties is a beaut and would probably be the fastest way to world peace ever to come out of a comedy festival. Still laughing at the Korean stuff… KATE COPSTICK until 25 August Ayo Adenekan: Black Mediocrity Monkey Barrel Comedy (Venue 338) ★★★☆☆ Ayo Adenekan's Fringe debut feels as if it's come at least a year too early, as the 23-year-old, 6'3' stand-up, who brings attention to his impressive wingspan, is stretching his material across an hour and can't quite do justice to all of his anecdotes. You get the excitement about him and his eagerness to launch himself onto this stage though, as his potential is undeniable. As a bisexual, slightly nerdy black man of Nigerian heritage who grew up in Edinburgh poshly educated, he has novelty, local knowledge and a number of identity issues tied to race, class, privilege and sexuality, the intersectional interplay of these rendering him distinct. Encompassing three years of his life, his casting in his school nativity play epitomises a tendency towards too much exposition in otherwise successful efforts to ingratiate himself with the crowd. Elsewhere, though, a shocking example of racism lands like a punch in the face, from out of the blue, in marked contrast to Adenekan's wry treatment of more insidious, micro-bigotry before it. The account pleads for more storytelling sophistication and he ought to rework it in the future. An emerging talent with innate likeability and presence, he's surely destined for greater things. JAY RICHARDSON until 24 August Catriona Dowden: Dance Like Everyone's Dancing Carbon (Venue 180) ★★★☆☆ Comedy that goes where no laughs have ever been got before is rarer than a bag of chips for under four quid in August, but Catriona gives us an hour of it. Her downbeat delivery and gentle-going-on-fragile demeanour are perfectly suited to her material, which plays ('riffs' seems too excitable a term to use) on medieval Anchoresses, dealing with apocalyptic thoughts, cruelty to 18th century pigeons and other animals and the devastating effects of feminism on the buoyancy of nuns. You simply will not get observational stand-up from a tiny, closed, onstage religious cell anywhere else. The section giving advice on acceptable wimpling manages to be absolutely hilarious as well as unexpectedly fascinating. This is cleverly constructed, properly thought through stuff, pretty much every turn and twist of the hour. There is a joke with a record-breakingly long set-up, quite a lot of information on vaginismus (stay with her, she keeps this section pretty tight...), St Vitus Dance, and how she and her sister became the Kneecap of NW Berkshire. We all leave knowing more about the inadequacies of 21st Century gynaecology than we had anticipated. Catriona might speak softly but she carries a big comedy stick. KATE COPSTICK until 24 August

Tesco's copycat waterproof is selling for £30 less than John Lewis – it's stylish, hooded & perfect for festival season

Tesco made a major change to F&F clothing in May BY GEORGE! Tesco's copycat waterproof is selling for £30 less than John Lewis – it's stylish, hooded & perfect for festival season Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TESCO shoppers are racing to bag a stylish waterproof jacket that looks just like a designer version from John Lewis - but for £30 less. The hooded coat is perfect for festival season, keeping you dry without skimping on style. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Tesco's take on the waterproof makes the supermarket a no-brainer for bargain hunters who still want to stay stylish in the rain Credit: Tesco Rain or shine, it's the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe - without the posh price tag. PRODUCT DETAILS This shower-resistant poncho is built for Britain's unpredictable weather – with a buttoned front and elasticated cuffs to keep you dry on the go. The longline fit adds extra coverage and style, making it the perfect throw-on for festivals, park days or last-minute dashes to the shop. It's lightweight, packs down easily, and gives major high-street vibes without the hefty price tag. With its A-line shape and floaty sleeves, this water-resistant cape doesn't just keep you dry – it looks good doing it. The popper fastenings make it easy to throw on in a downpour, and it's 100% polyester and machine washable. It comes in classic black or on-trend khaki – and it's a steal at just £17. Festival-proof, fashion-forward and budget-friendly – what's not to love? I'm a size 14 and did the best Tesco summer haul - run before new co-ord sells out HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO DESIGNERS John Lewis has a near-identical cape in navy – though it'll set you back £47. That's £30 more than Tesco's take, making the supermarket steal a no-brainer for bargain hunters who still want to stay stylish in the rain. Tesco's cape is made from polyester, while John Lewis uses nylon – but when it comes to keeping dry, both do the job. Polyester offers a lightweight, breathable feel, while nylon is known for being a touch more durable. But at a massive £30 less, Tesco's version still comes out on top for style and savings. ONLINE CHANGE Tesco made a major change to F&F clothing in May. The UK's biggest supermarket has officially re-launched the clothing brand online for the first time in seven years. Shoppers were first able to buy the F&F range on a separate site from 2009 before it was moved onto Tesco Direct in 2016. However, it was ditched in 2018. Customers could still buy items from the collection through Next until this January, until it stopped stocking the range. Tesco shoppers can now pick up F&F-branded clothes via and the supermarket's Grocery and Clubcard app. If you don't have the app you can download it for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play. The collection includes women's, men's and kids' clothing, as well as footwear and accessories. Shoppers looking to pick up F&F items online will have to pay a £3.99 home delivery fee on all orders. How has Tesco's F&F upped its game By Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend ZARA has become a high street staple in recent years thanks to its hot-off-the-catwalk designs and affordable prices. But recently those prices have risen with the brand's popularity. However, if you are looking for high fashion inspired outfits with low price tags you needn't drag yourself to your local shops, just head to the supermarket instead. F&F has come a long way from selling a few backs of T-shirts and fluffy dressing gowns and is now a must have shopping destination for thousands. They produce good quality, long lasting and on trend clothes that puts others to shame. F&F is filled with Zara dupes and other looks inspired by our favourite shops that will set you back less than £50 - and you can get them while you pick up your dinner. I for one love F&F denim, it's durable, fits really well and has all the best silhouettes. So even if you're not looking for reasonable prices but just want good clothes, get yourself to Tesco.
