'I went to Cadbury World without any kids to see if it's worth it as adults'
Cadbury World is a chocolate lover's dream as it offers visitors the opportunity to learn how the chocolate is made, enjoy a pot of melted chocolate and get some free Cadbury chocolate bars to take home with them. The site opened in Birmingham in 1990 and quickly became one of the city's most popular tourist attractions.
Amber Taylor visited Cadbury World but wasn't sure if it would be enjoyable without children. She posted her experience on TikTok and said: 'There is a high possibility I'm going to be way too old for this but we're going to give it a go anyway. We're giving Cadbury World a go as adults so let's see how it goes.'
The TikTok user was treated to three free Cadbury chocolate bars when she arrived at the site and she chose Wispa, Dairy Milk and Dairy Milk Caramel.
She mentioned you can buy a purple Cadbury branded bag to put the treats in and it costs £1.50 for a small bag or £2.50 for a big one.
Amber added: 'So when you go inside you go around a set route where you can see how chocolate was made years ago, all the old advertising and a few shows, but my favourite bit was this one where they give you a pot of melted chocolate and you can pick two toppings to put in it.'
The chocolate fan opted to have Oreo crumbs and white chocolate buttons in her pot and reported that it tasted 'so good".
She then showed the 'have a go zone' where you can do some chocolate drawings and try to temper some chocolate.
Next on the route was the 4D cinema experience, complete with motion seats, loud music and periods of darkness that Amber admitted was better than she expected.
The sweet treat lover continued: 'There's also this little ride that you can go on where you go around and shoot at screens to collect all the ingredients which did actually break up the route quite nicely.'
Other areas guests can visit are the cafe that has lots of different Cadbury food and drinks to enjoy, such as hot beverages, freak shakes and ice creams, an outside playground, interactive machines and photo opportunities with a green screen that can make you look like you're surfing on a chocolate bar.
After taking some photos Amber headed to the gift shop and declared that those who love chocolate will be 'in for a treat".
She went straight to the chocolate section, skipping past the souvenirs, after spotting that nearly all the products were being sold at a discounted price.
Amber concluded: 'So I was kind of worried this was just for kids but honestly, we had a great few hours out the house.'
Reflecting on her trip, she found that Cadbury World is 'great' for a family day out or adults looking for something fun to do for a few hours.
Her TikTok video has garnered 327,100 views, 18,600 likes and more than 100 comments in two days.
One user said: 'Been to Cadbury World twice as [a] kid, once when I was too small to remember it and once when I was a bit older (maybe 8/9) and seeing this has made me want to go back, looks really good.'
Another added: 'Never too old for this! I went and it's so worth going as an adult as you understand more!'
Standard tickets to visit Cadbury World start from £19 if you book in advance and the website states that pre-booking is essential.

Aldi selling TikTok viral health drink for just £1.49 as shoppers hail it ‘amazing'
A NEW TikTok health craze is hitting Aldi shelves — and it's only £1.49. Shoppers are raving about the budget supermarket's brand-new drink, calling it 'amazing'. 6 Available in stores across the UK from July 24th, Aldi's Original and Strawberry Matcha Lattes (84g) are already causing a stir online. The excitement follows a viral post by British nutritionist and TikTok star GQ Jordan, who shared five creative ways to use the powdered drink — and fans can't get enough. The green tea blend has become a must-have ingredient in kitchens up and down the country, thanks to Jordan's unexpected twist on traditional recipes. She's managed to whip up everything from cottage cheese ice cream to creamy hummus, all using matcha as the star flavour. In the video, GQ Jordan also shows how to make a vibrant matcha pesto pasta, rich matcha French toast, and even bite-sized matcha cheesecakes — proving the viral drink isn't just for sipping. Her fans were quick to react, with one saying: 'These look amazing! "Who knew you could create so many different recipes with Matcha.' It's not the first time a TikTok trend has had shoppers flocking to Aldi, but this one is proving especially popular with health -conscious buyers. Many are ditching their usual coffees and teas in favour of this green powerhouse, known for its antioxidant benefits and gentle caffeine boost. The matcha lattes come in two flavours — classic Original and fruity Strawberry — both designed to be mixed with water or milk for an easy at-home drink. 'Absolutely delicious' shopper exclaims at new Aldi summer bargain essential that's perfect for BBQs But thanks to GQ Jordan's inspiration, shoppers are now experimenting far beyond the mug. It's not the first time TikTok has helped turn an Aldi product into a must-have. Earlier this year, the retailer's high-protein puddings became a viral sensation, praised by fitness influencers as the perfect post-gym snack. Frozen avocado chunks also took off after TikTokers revealed their go-to smoothie hack — a fuss-free, freezer-friendly way to get your greens. Beauty lovers, meanwhile, have flocked to Aldi for its £1.99 collagen shots, touted online as affordable alternatives to premium wellness brands. Even recipe hacks have taken hold, like air fryer pizza wraps made with Aldi tortilla wraps — a quick, crispy snack that exploded in popularity. And thanks to TikTok's love of budget 'dupes,' Aldi's shelves are constantly being scoured for lookalikes of trending protein bars and snacks, offering big savings without compromising on flavour. 6 6 6

Ellie Goulding, 38, flaunts her toned figure in an array of skimpy bikinis during Italian holiday amid new romance with actor, 28
Ellie Goulding left little to the imagination as she flaunted her toned figure in a series of sizzling bikini snaps during her sun-soaked holiday in Italy. The singer, 38, appears to be enjoying her summer after reportedly going public this week with actor Beau Minniear who is ten years her junior. According to The Sun Ellie and Beaum 28, debuted their romance as they attended the clash between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois together at Wembley on Saturday night. And on Thursday, she sent temperatures soaring as she treated her Instagram followers to a smouldering photo dump. Kicking things off in a tiny black string bikini, Ellie turned heads as she lounged on a sunbed with a book before snapping a sultry selfie. She later slipped into a green two-piece to continue basking in the sunshine, showing off her toned abs and golden glow. In another eye-catching moment, Ellie posed with a coconut in hand while rocking a Fenty bikini. Rounding out the carousel, the pop star turned up the glam in stunning day outfits and mirror selfies. 'Carbs,' she penned alongside the post. Since the breakdown of her marriage to her younger husband Caspar Jopling, 33, with whom she shares son four-year-old son Arthur, Ellie has enjoyed a string of romances. According to The Sun Ellie is thought to have met actor Beau- who has a string of small acting parts in TV and film in the US - earlier this year. Last week she reportedly teased a romance with him with a cryptic TikTok video posted to her socials. The publication claims she shared a clip stroking a man's arm, with the caption: 'Just a little something to take the edge off.' The video is no longer on her TikTok account. Her fans reportedly noticed that the watch the man was wearing in the clip matched one Beau regularly wears in Instagram snaps. They also reportedly noticed they both posted photos last week from the same hotel in Florence - before attending the boxing match together. A source told the publication: 'Ellie is into Beau and they have a lot of shared interests like exercise and art. 'They've been having fun together and they certainly make for an attractive couple.' A representative for Ellie has been contacted by MailOnline for comment. The star previously dated hunky surf instructor Armando Perez, 29, who she sought comfort with following the breakdown of her marriage. They met in late 2023 in Costa Rica where the songstress had rented a swanky villa with pals after secretly separating from her partner after five years. Ellie and Armando were first introduced when he gave her surf lessons, after previously teaching Shakira, 48, before pictures emerged of them passionately kissing and she was forced to confirm publicly that her marriage was over. The hunk and his brother Gero run the $70-a-night La Puente Surfhouse and hostel on the west coast of the Central American paradise. Ellie made numerous trips from her home in the UK to Costa Rica over the following months which she documented on Instagram, including a string of stunning bikini snaps. According to the El Observador newspaper, she made this trip as many as six times over just five months, typically staying a week at a time, sometimes longer. With the couple enjoying further private lessons, as well as shopping trips and dinner dates. An Insider told The Sun at the time: 'Ellie and Armando seemed very into each other. When Armando wasn't teaching Ellie, he couldn't keep his hands off her and pulled her in for a hug and a kiss'. 'Ellie looked blissfully happy and was laughing and joking with him as they messed around in the sea.' Antonio is also believed to have also visited Ellie in London on at least one occasion, reportedly watching her perform to a live crowd from backstage. One friend said: 'Amando and Ellie were very attracted to one another. Despite the age gap, they struck up an instant chemistry when he gave her private surfing lessons. The star previously dated hunky surf instructor Armando Perez, 29, (pictured L) who she sought comfort with following the breakdown of her marriage. 'They soon formed a bond and loved spending time together - Ellie loved hanging out on the beach with Armando to get away from everything that was going on back home after her marriage had come to an end. [Armando was used to spending his days instructing in the water and running around barefoot in swim shorts, and was more comfortable enjoying his 'quiet life' without the 'drama' of being in the public eye, the source added. 'They had a very special time together and she visited the country a lot. 'But they are from very different backgrounds. She is a big pop star from England while Armando's whole life is based here in Playa Hermosa. He loves it here and I doubt he would have any plans to leave. 'Their lives are very different and so it was natural for them both to eventually move on. But they still remain great friends.' Ellie and her art dealer ex Caspar were reportedly living separate lives for at least six months before announcing their split, despite trying to work things out for the sake of their son. They married in August 2019 at York Minster with A-list guests including Sienna Miller, Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry. Their split was first rumoured in June 2023, when sources claimed they were 'living apart'. After weeks of discussions about how they would reveal their separation, the pop star's team finally revealed they had been spending time apart - blaming their 'hectic schedules' for the demise of their marriage.

Common mistakes that are destroying your healthy hair Haircare experts at Tangle Teezer shared their insight. Not brushing correctly Brushing your hair regularly is one of the most basic, yet effective, ways to keep it looking healthy and maintained. However, mechanical damage from your hairbrush and brushing your hair the wrong way may be doing more harm than good. To avoid excessive pulling and breakage to the hair, the best way to brush your hair is to start at the ends and work your way up to the roots. It's also important to choose a brush that is gentle on hair, but tough on tangles. Not using the right hairbrush for hair type Selecting the right hairbrush for your hair type is essential to maintain healthy hair. Different hairbrushes are designed to work with different hair types, textures, and lengths. Taking the time to pick out your perfect brush is the little thing you can do to make a big difference when it comes to your hair health. For fine hair, a brush with soft-flex teeth is recommended as it can de-tangle hair without pulling or damaging fragile strands. For straight to wavy hair, we recommend our de-tangling brushes with regular-flex teeth, and for thick or curly hair, we recommend our firm-flex teeth and our brushes with a larger paddle size. If you have tight curls and coils, a wide-tooth comb maybe a better match for your hair. Not brushing treatments through in the shower Using treatments is a great way to keep your hair hydrated and healthy. Whether you're using a deep conditioner or treatment masque, it's important to brush it through from the mid-lengths through to the ends of the hair. This will make sure it is evenly distributed through the hair so the treatment can nourish all strands. When brushing through your treatment, make sure you use a brush that is as gentle on wet hair as it is dry. The importance of scalp care in healthy hair Healthy hair starts at the root so bring a scalp brush into your hair care routine has many benefits, as it promotes blood circulation. A scalp brush can help with dandruff, by removing the build-up of old skin cells and products that can lead to an itchy, flaky scalp. Not only do scalp brushes remove the leftover products that can lead to dandruff, but they can also help apply products - from oil treatments to anti-dandruff shampoos - deeper into your scalp. Also, massaging your scalp stimulates pressure points and increases blood circulation, unblocking hair follicles, allowing your hair to grow stronger and healthier. Close to 100 people flooded to comments, where one said: ''Oooh as a greasy haired gal I'm intrigued.'' Someone else would also be dashing to their nearest M&S to snap up the £3 find, ''Ooh I love a clarifying shampoo as someone with thick hair who uses a lotttt of product. Must try this!'' ''Oooh I've been meaning to find a new clarifying shampoo, I'll give this a try!'' chimed in another one. ''Love them but the bottles are an absolute nightmare to squeeze,'' penned a fourth.
