The 140g packet of biccies is 90p at Sainsbury's and just one of a range of new flavours of the iconic brand.
A photo of the mango and passionfruit Jammie Dodgers was shared to the Newfoods UK social media pages where reactions where mixed.
"Wish they would just stick to original!!!! More jam!!!!!!!!" wrote one person.
Another added: "Oh yum."
A third commented: "Tasteless."
And a fourth reacted: "We need to get these."
A spokesperson for Fox Burton's which makes Jammie Dodgers said they expect the new flavours to fly off the shelf.
"We are very excited about these new flavours and expect them to do well in market," the spokesperson told The Sun.
Another of the unique flavours available at supermarkets is cherry, apple and blackcurrant, and strawberry Jammie Dodgers.
Last year, the brand raised eyebrows when shoppers found a re-released banana version of Jammie Dodgers.
Biscuit lover left gutted after finding Jammie Dodger without key ingredient
The banana flavouring replaces the classic jam filling that Brits have grown to love over the years.
The yellow-flavoured biscuits were first launched in the UK in July 2022 inspired by the Minions film, The Rise of Gru.
It was not the first new flavour the biscuit company has tried - other tempting flavours have been launched such as cherry and apple.

Molly-Mae cries as she brushes off ‘out of touch' accusations in tearful motherhood update
Molly-Mae Hague wiped away tears as she opened up about motherhood difficulties in a new vlog on Sunday (27 July), declaring: "I don't care who tells me I'm out of touch with reality." In a previous video, the former Love Island star described how she'd told a friend she was going to reach the end of summer 'having not done one social fun thing'. The remark drew criticism on social media, with one commenter saying: "I love Molly-Mae, I think she's sweet, but this complaining is making her look so ungrateful at least she's been on more than one holiday in under a year." In Sunday's update, Molly-Mae said she was trying hard to stay positive, but it was tough because even small tasks — like putting socks and shoes on Bambi — made her daughter scream.

Tom Cruise, 63, and his 'new love' Ana de Armas, 37, enjoy night at Oasis' Wembley concert - despite Gallagher brothers hating his films
Tom Cruise and his 'new love' interest Ana de Armas enjoyed a night out at Oasis' concert over the weekend - despite the Gallagher brothers claiming to hate his films. The actor, 63, and the Blonde actress, 37, were spotted in the crowd at Wembley with DJ Goldie sharing a selfie with him during the set. During a past interview Noel once branded Tom a 'little f***er' - however all appears to have been forgiven. Speaking in their 2007 documentary, Lord Don't Slow Me Down, the famously outspoken brother's gave their opinion on the actor. 'Tom Cruise is a f***ing c**t. Midget, he's a midget. He's a little f***er and he's not been in one good film,' Noel said while speaking backstage during their Don't Believe the Truth world tour in 2005. Someone asked: 'What about Cocktail?' 'Cocktail's great,' Liam replied, before adding: 'I hate Tom Cruise. B*****d. Him and Michael Owen. F***ing c**ts.' Tom and Ana were first linked in February and have been spotted travelling together on many occasions since then. The Mission Impossible star was among a number of famous faces in the crowd, turning up to watch Liam and Noel Gallagher reunite on stage in front of 90,000 fans. He was seen in the seated section, keeping things low-key as he enjoyed the show alongside DJ Goldie. Tom gave a thumbs-up in the snap as he enjoyed the electric atmosphere of the long-awaited gig. It comes after it was reported that Tom was expected to attend Friday's concert, after he was spotted at Oasis' set during Glastonbury last year. And while millions of fans scrambled for tickets to the reunion - many limited to just four per person - the Hollywood star reportedly pulled some strings, according to the Mirror. It's said that Tom managed to secure up to 20 tickets so he could bring a group of friends along for the night. A source close to the band told the publication: 'Tom is excited to see the gig, and his friends were thrilled he was able to offer them tickets too. They are hard for even the biggest and richest people to secure.' 'He is taking up to 20 people with him, and must be one of the few people on this tour who will be able to attend with such a big group.' MailOnline has contacted Tom's representative for comment. Oasis made a long-awaited return to London on Friday, playing their first gig in the city in over 16 years. Following a series of homecoming shows at Manchester's Heaton Park, the rock legends, fronted by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, took to the stage at Wembley Stadium.

The mysterious Apple Music nerds saving classical music from extinction
Few things are more depressing for classical music lovers than the classical recording charts. Your eye roams despairingly down the endless lists of crossover and ambient pap, looking for something real and substantial. The problem is the deathly hand of the algorithm used to mould customer's choices via those ubiquitous playlists, which is squeezing all the joyous variety out of the art form. For grim evidence of that, take a look at the current 'official' list of top 10 classical recordings, which is based on purchases of physical albums and downloads in the UK. Albums by Ludovico Einaudi occupy no less than six of the top 10 slots, mingled with Max Richter's appropriately soporific Sleep, organist Anna Lapwood 's lightweight 'filmic' Firedove, and a compilation of utterly predictably classical hits from the London Philharmonic Orchestra. The 'hits' generated by this chart will be recycled into yet more classical playlists, which in turn will squeeze the art form further. Among streaming platforms Spotify is especially culpable, for making classical music impossible to search properly and bombarding us with dull playlists. It's death by slow asphyxiation. So imagine my surprise when, in a moment of idle curiosity, I peeked at Apple Music Classical's latest edition of its top 100 chart. The chart is scrupulously compiled every week from Apple, iTunes and Shazam data sources measured in more than 160 countries. Among the top 10 there are two albums by that deeply serious and still fairly obscure mid-Baroque German composer and virtuoso violinist Heinrich Biber. There are also two albums of music by Erik Satie, including one of unknown pieces recently unearthed in French archives, and at number two, some delightful theatre music by little-known Italian Baroque composer Pietro Locatelli. What's going on? Is there a sinister cabal of classical music nerds who hacked Apple's servers and substituted Biber and Locatelli for Einaudi? Not exactly. There is certainly a bunch of classical nerds busily subverting the market, but they have the title 'editor' and do it with Apple's blessing. They don't fix those charts, but they certainly have a big influence on them by offering their recommendations of new and old recordings on the top row of Apple Music Classical's homepage, the so-called 'Heroes Shelf'. The overlap between the top 100 and the Heroes Shelf isn't absolute, but it's certainly noticeable. Look further down the page and you'll find more evidence of their guiding hands. There's clearly a guitar enthusiast or two among them, and the playlists are more interesting than any algorithm could come up with. For instance, the Art-Song playlist includes some Italian song, which is normally overlooked. Of course, the contrast isn't absolute. Not even the mighty Apple can ignore the market entirely, and Einaudi and Max Richter are among their best-sellers. Nonetheless the difference made by employing a bunch of classical music lovers as editors, guiding customers' tastes, has been profound. All this has happened with remarkably little fanfare, and yet to me it seems one of the most significant transformations in classical music taste-forming in the entire history of the art form. Go back to Renaissance and Baroque times and it was elites – emperors, dukes, cardinals – who decided what art-music would be performed, though musicians themselves played a significant role by enforcing standards of craftsmanship. Later, as a mass market for cultural goods arose, new sorts of taste-maker came into being: publishers, managers and above all impresarios. Henry Wood, co-founder of the Proms, was completely upfront about his desire to 'raise the level of public taste'. These impresarios had outsize personalities, but latterly the taste-formers such as the Controller of BBC Radio 3 have been more discreet, and their hand on the tiller correspondingly lighter. But the remarkable thing about the taste-formers at Apple Music Classical is that they are entirely anonymous. I tried my hardest to winkle some names out of the company, but they wouldn't even put a number on them. Some may regard this as sinister; I actually find it quite touching, because the condition of anonymity grants them total freedom. When taste is led ostentatiously from the front, fashion and social distinction affects people's judgement. By contrast, the nerds (sorry, editors) at Apple Music Classical constitute a pure Republic of Classical Music. Unaffected by prestige, they are free to recommend what they love just because they love it. It should be said Apple isn't the only classical streaming platform which aims to guide listeners. Idagio offers artists' interviews, an 'editors' weekly pick' and intelligently curated playlists. Presto Music offers in-depth articles and guides listeners through new releases. But Apple Music's reach is bound to make it especially influential, and its 'top 100' list shows is already having a transforming effect on listeners' tastes. Not all the changes are necessarily good; for instance the great names among classical performers are notable by their absence in the top 100, apart from Glenn Gould and Rubinstein. Younger performers are more prominent, particularly Asian ones, but not only Asian. That excellent early music group from the West Country Brecon Baroque has received a massive boost on the international stage, thanks to its appearance on the Heroes Shelf and in the top 10. Joseph Haydn's stock is down, Heinrich Biber's is noticeably up, and in general the canonical 'great composers' no longer have pride of place. But all taste-formers have their blind spots and preferences. Better a bunch of human enthusiasts than the stultifying sameness induced by those algorithms, which really are the death-knell of the art-form.
