The original Tago rolls cost £1.99, and one user commented that buying a similar product in a Cyprus airport can cost a whopping seven euros.
Chocoholics show no sign of slowing down after Easter as they rave about the "creamy hazelnut" filling, which "puts the Nutella into the crispy treat."
One raved: 'They taste beautiful, they're dangerous, I can't stop eating them.'
Another agreed, exclaiming: 'Oh my go, they are delicious, these will not last long, hazelnut is my kryptonite."
One TikTok food reviewer, whose discerning taste buds command the respect of nearly 70k followers, proclaimed: 'These are absolutely delicious and an absolute bargain!
'That creamy filling is to die for.
"I literally drove back to the store, 15 minutes away, to grab more before they went."
Creamy, creamy, creamy- the word was repeated by almost every reviewer.
Tariq Wright pointed out that you can bulk buy, as they have a shelf life of nine months, although it is doubtful that many will last that long.
But many users had already had to restock up, so good luck making them last that long.

Services returning from Paris have also been cancelled Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THOUSANDS of passengers have had their travel plans thrown into chaos after the Eurostar cancelled services today.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Thousands of passengers have had their journeys to Paris thrown into chaos Credit: George Cracknell Wright 2 Hundreds of passengers have been spotted waiting for updates at St Pancras Credit: George Cracknell Wright There were 17 Eurostar services scheduled to depart from London St Pancras today - six of which face ongoing delays delayed. A further five trains - out of a total of 18 heading from Paris to London - have been cancelled. Six others bound for London from France have been pushed back. A power outage in Moussy - 30 miles north of Paris - occurred at 8.30 this morning, triggering the slew of delays. As a result, services were forced to divert to slower lines which caused carnage on France's rail network. Since the problem is largely affecting French services, holidaymakers heading to Brussels or Amsterdam from London have largely been unaffected by the cancellations. The train operator took to X to confirm which services have been cancelled. A spokesperson for Eurostar said that the following services from London to Paris will not be running: #ES9022, 11.31 #ES9028, 13.31 #ES9044, 17.31 #ES9050, 19.01 Similarly, the following services from Paris to London will not be running: #ES9025, 11:37 #ES9039, 15:15 #ES9051, 18:10 #ES9055, 19:11 The spokesperson added: "We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused today." Passengers affected by the huge delays can exchange their tickets free of charge or request full refunds. Pictures taken at St Pancras show hundreds of Brits huddled around information screens, waiting for updates on when their train is going to depart. Some have taken to social media to vent their frustrations at the incident. One wrote: "How is it that the one day I choose to take the Eurostar they choose to cut power to the high speed rail in Northern France? "What are the odds?" However, according to lucky holidaymakers, regularly services are slowly being restored for some passengers. One person posted: "Thanks Eurostar for working through the track problems affecting all trains headed west from Paris Nord today. "Our train was late, but still running today. "Happy to be en route to London. We appreciate the work of your teams to make this happen." More to follow...

Woman says famous Scottish island 'isn't always like the videos you see online'
A woman who lives on one of Scotland's most visited islands and shares her everyday life online has opened up on how it may not match what many tourists imagine Scotland is renowned for its breathtaking terrain featuring peaks, such as the Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness. Countless visitors flock to the nation to experience its natural beauty and scenery, alongside attractions like historic castles. The country is equally celebrated for its cultural heritage, made up of its diverse selection of whisky, tartan kilts, bagpipes and the traditional delicacy haggis. Scotland is believed to provide a tranquil retreat from England's bustling cities, but one woman has revealed the stark truth about living on the nation's most sought-after island, the Isle of Skye. Stretching 50 miles in length, it's the biggest island in the Inner Hebrides, distinguished by its striking landscape and charming fishing communities. Niamh Mackinnon, 22-years-old, documents her island life through clips on TikTok and YouTube. In a recent TikTok upload, the Scottish local explained: "I live on the most popular island in Scotland and the reason we're so popular is because of specific landscapes, one of them being the Old Man of Storr, so I thought today I would show you what it's like at the height of summer because it might not be the picturesque, tranquil, peaceful dream that you are being sold online sometimes but we'll see, let's go." The Old Man of Storr is a soaring rocky formation on the Trotternish Ridge that is considered the most iconic hike on the Isle of Skye. Niamh prepared for her journey to the beloved landmark, bundling up in several clothing layers, waterproof trousers and hiking boots. As she arrived, Niamh was faced with rows of parked cars and dreary weather, prompting her to say: "I'm not trying to just complain in this vlog but the midges are so bad. I need to get a move on and look how busy it is." She embarked on the trek up the Old Man of Storr, but the conditions were far from ideal – grey skies, rain, fog, and a muddy path surrounded by grass. The young vlogger reflected on the changes over time: "I'm not even that old and there was a time when I was younger where you would come up here and know every single person that you passed. Tragic." Sitting amidst the bustle, Niamh shared her mixed feelings: "I'm just sitting here like looking at how busy it is and everything and I don't know, this is when I start to feel a bit like hypocritical or like bad about how much I post Skye online because it also makes me sad seeing this place so busy when I remember a time when it was so quiet and peaceful." She continued, grappling with her emotions: "And of course it's nice for other people in the world to get to experience this and it's on my doorstep so I don't wanna be greedy but yeah, it's a weird feeling to be honest." Although the Old Man of Storr was the focus of her video, the fog meant it was barely visible. Niamh concluded her video early, opting to head back down due to the wet conditions, crowds, and limited visibility of the Storr. She pointed out that this is "just the reality of Skye sometimes." Niamh's TikTok video has racked up an incredible 2.4 million views, alongside thousands of likes and comments. A shocked viewer asked: "This HEIGHT of summer???" Another user shared their experience: "I know this weird feeling. It's the same here in the Swiss alps. "As a kid you knew almost everyone you met on a hike. Now it's packed and most tourists don't even say hello." A third remarked: "A lot of places seem to struggle with excessive tourism having a negative impact. Hope that a happy balance can be found for the area you live in."

Spain holiday plane left with SMASHED nose & forced to make emergency landing after crashing into bird in midair horror
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A PACKED holiday plane was left with a smashed nose and damaged engine after hitting a large bird midair - forcing 182 terrified passengers into an emergency landing. Iberia flight IB579 had just lifted off from Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport en route to Paris-Orly on Sunday when horror struck. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 A packed Iberia flight was left with a smashed nose and damaged engine after hitting a bird midair Credit: X 5 The bird, believed to be a vulture, was later sucked into the plane's left engine Credit: X 5 The 182 terrified passengers on board the flight saw the cabin filled with smoke and forced to wear oxygen masks Credit: @ Just minutes into the climb and at least 6,500 feet in the air, the Airbus jet collided with what's believed to be a vulture - triggering panic in the cabin. The bird first struck the nose section, shattering the radome that houses the weather radar. But things got worse after the bird was sucked into the left engine, leaving several fan blades damaged. Photos taken on the ground reveal the full extent of the chaos - with a large portion of the aircraft's sleek new nose torn away, exposing its internal radar systems. Read more world news FLIGHT PANIC Brit, 15, sneaks onto flight to ITALY after losing parents at Spain airport The plane, a state-of-the-art Airbus A321NEO XLR, is one of the most modern in the world and was just four weeks old at the time of the incident. Panic quickly spread among passengers as the cabin filled with smoke. One woman said: "We couldn't breathe." Passengers described having to pull down oxygen masks themselves as the crew prepared for an emergency return. Spanish air traffic controllers confirmed the crew declared an emergency and requested to return to Madrid. They shared on social media: "The crew of the flight departing from Madrid-Barajas to Paris informs us of impact with bird. Ex- fighter pilot and son, 13, feared dead after plane crashed off Majorca as wreckage found near tourist hotspot "They request to return to Barajas in an emergency." Emergency protocols were immediately activated at the airport. The flight was given priority landing and directed to runway 32L, where fire crews and emergency responders were already waiting. Passengers disembarked via regular stairs after a safe touchdown around 25 minutes after takeoff. No injuries have been reported, according to Spanish outlet El Mundo. Air traffic controllers praised the crew's calm and professional behaviour, saying the incident "was a scare" but highlighted the tension onboard. A video captured by flyer Giancarlo Sandoval showed clearly shaken travellers donning oxygen masks during the crisis. In another clip from the cabin, user @ wrote in Spanish: "You never know when the last time you can say thank you, sorry, and I love you will be. "So if you're hesitating, do it." The jet has since been pulled from service for a detailed technical inspection. Iberia had only recently begun flying the A321XLR on shorter European routes to train crews ahead of long-haul deployments across the Atlantic. Sunday's terrifying incident is a sharp reminder of the dangers bird strikes still pose to modern aviation. And while this close call ended without tragedy, others haven't been as lucky. In December 2024, a Jeju Air flight in South Korea suffered a bird strike to both engines, crash-landing and bursting into flames – killing 179 of the 181 passengers onboard. 5 The strike shattered the nose's radome, the part of the plane that houses the weather radar Credit: X
