Tesco has best prawn cocktail crisps according to shoppers
Shoppers were so enraged by the decision, the supermarket giant decided to reverse its decision, announcing the popular crisps would be returning to stores later this year.
While Aldi's prawn cocktail crisps have been described as "addictive", shoppers believe Tesco lays claim to having "the best".
Brits on Reddit have said Tesco's Finest Prawn Marie Rose Hand Cooked Crisps are the best in the UK, labelling them "top tier".

Shoppers spot chocolate bar that's a Kinder Bueno dupe but it has a HUGE twist
Plus, find out how to save money on chocolate CHOC O LOT Shoppers spot chocolate bar that's a Kinder Bueno dupe but it has a HUGE twist Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHOPPERS have spotted a new chocolate bar in B&M that's a Kinder Bueno dupe - but there's a big twist. The discount retailer has started selling Nutymax bars which have come all the way from Turkey. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The Nutymax bar looks very similar to a Kinder Bueno but comes with a pistachio filling Credit: Grand Turkish Bazaar At first glance they look similar to the popular Kinder Buenos, with two fingers of chocolate filled with crispy wafer and a cream filling. But rather than having a hazelnut filling, they contain pistachio - much like the viral Dubai chocolate bars. They are selling for 89p for a 44g bar, making them much cheaper than a Kinder Bueno. For comparison, B&M sells Kinder Buenos for £1.95. They're cheapest at £1.75 in Iceland, but this still makes them almost twice the price. The Nutymax is described online as having a "crispy wafer and abundant cream filling" and "pistachio puree overflowing from the wafer and the whole pistachios inside". Popular Instagrammer John's Snack Reviews shared his thoughts on the bar, giving it a solid 7.5 out of 10. "The pistachio cream is really decent. Strong nutty cream that tastes like supermarket pistachio spread," he said. "However, the thickness of the milk chocolate coating overpowers it so it's a touch difficult to taste the pistachio until the end." Commenters shared their excitement to try the new sweet treat, with one saying: "This sounds like a DREAM!" Dubai Ice Cream Another wrote "Ooooohhhh yum" while a third said they "need it". But a different commenter said they had tried the bar in Turkey and it was "disappointing". Shoppers seem to be divided as reviewers on which also sells the bar, say they are "the BEST chocolates". One person said: "LOVE them so much, great presentation, great packing and flavor perfect, LOVE them so so so much!!" Another said: "Delicious, never had these before and can't get them here. Will be ordering more in time." What other Kinder Bueno varieties are there? Of course, this is a dupe rather than a new Kinder Bueno version. But you can get a couple of Kinder Bueno varieties. The original version comes with milk chocolate, but there is also a popular white chocolate one. These cost 75p in Asda or £1 in Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrisons. At Christmas you can also get Kinder Bueno Eggs in an 80g pack. You can also get Kinder Bueno ice creams, which are £4.94 for a pack of four at Asda. They're one penny more expensive at Morrisons, Iceland and Tesco.

Famous city barber shop closing after 34 years in business
Originally from Dundee, Mr Morrison and his shop proved to be revolutionary for the city's hair-cutting scene. He told The Herald's sister title The Glasgow Times: 'The whole scene of 90s barbershops in Glasgow was men in white coats who only knew one haircut. It was horrible and clinical. READ MORE: 'We decided to open a barbershop where barbers wore waistcoats and aprons, and men were offered free beer and coffee, and the football was on the TV. We wanted to create a men's club atmosphere. 'We prided ourselves on the fact that no matter who walks through the door we've got staff members to do their hair. The other day, a girl came in with long hair and said she wanted a baseline cut. When I said to come in, she was surprised because we were a barber and I said, 'What does that matter?'' The 64-year-old added: 'If you look at barbershops now, there are a lot of Turkish places offering the shave and it's all about being trendy. But we started the trend. 'We've even had Jim Kerr in the shop and loads of other famous faces over the years. It's been an incredible 34 years.' (Image: Keith Morrison, owner of Merchant City Barbers, pictured by Colin Mearns) Mr Morrison's decision to shut up shop comes after he was diagnosed with two different cancers – one of which is terminal. Following doctors' orders, the grandfather will be giving his time and energy to his loved ones. He said: 'I have a wee grandson coming in August and my plan is to meet him, that's the priority. And who knows, maybe we will then get to Christmas.' (Image: Keith Morrison, owner of Merchant City Barbers, pictured by Colin Mearns) Mr Morrison and his wife also plan to visit their second home in Kassiopi, Greece, after the barber closes its doors for the final time. Kassiopi is where he and his wife were married, and he even claims they were the first-ever Brits to get married there in 1986. He said: 'We had to change the law because Greece required a Certificate of no known impediment, and they require one from each person getting married. 'At the time, the British authorities assumed that you were marrying a local, so they only issued one. So, we had to go to court and change the law, so the British authorities were allowed to issue two certificates.' (Image: Keith Morrison, owner of Merchant City Barbers, pictured by Colin Mearns) The pair hope to get over to the 'tiny town' towards the end of this year, so Mr Morrison can say one last farewell to their friends. He said: 'It'll be a sad time, but nothing gets me down. You can't let it get you down because that is just a defeatist attitude. 'It's just about taking it day by day, but there is not a sad thought there at all. I've lived a fantastic life. Not a minute of my life do I regret.' (Image: Keith Morrison, owner of Merchant City Barbers, pictured by Colin Mearns) Mr Morrison was diagnosed with the first cancer after the primary lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic. As he was well on his way to completing treatment, he was then diagnosed with the second. 'I guess I must just be lucky,' he joked, before revealing that he has been given around a year left to live. However, as he said himself, nothing gets him down and he plans to close his shop in style. The barbers will host a farewell do on Saturday. He added: 'We're still open that day and will be cutting hair, but people have the option to come in, have a bit of a giggle, share stories of old times and at the end of the day, that's what it is all about.'

How changes to the welfare bill affects your PIP and Universal Credit payments
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BRITS on Universal Credit and PIP will see fewer changes to their payments after the Government U-turned on its welfare bill this week. Sir Keir Starmer had been hoping to push through welfare reforms that would have seen a crackdown on payments to some benefits claimants. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Sir Keir Starmer had been hoping to push through welfare reforms that would save billions Credit: AFP 2 Universal Credit is one of the benefits set to be affected by the welfare reforms Credit: Alamy The reforms were aimed at saving billions of pounds on Britain's welfare bill, which is set to balloon in the next five years. The Government has projected the number of working-age claimants of Personal Independence Payments (PIP) will rise from 2.7million in 2023-24 to 4.3million in 2029-30. Meanwhile the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has estimated the overall cost of the working-age benefit system would rise from £48.5billion last year to £75.7billion by 2030. The reforms would have seen disabled Brits facing stricter tests for claiming PIP payments and a freeze on the health payment element of Universal Credit. But in a major defeat for the Government this week, 49 Labour MPs rebelled against the welfare reforms. It forced the prime minister to shelve the controversial reforms so the bill would not have to be scrapped entirely. The bill will return to the Commons for a third reading on Wednesday before it can be passed. Here is what the latest changes mean for you… Personal Independence Payments (PIP) PIP is the main benefit for people with a disability. Three key benefits you could be missing out on It's for people under state pension age who need help with daily activities or getting around because of a long-term illness or disability. Payments currently start at £1,500 but can rise to £9,600. The daily living rate comes in at £73.90 for the lower rate and £110.40 for the higher rate. The mobility rate is worth £29.20 and rises to £77.05 for the higher rate. Under the Government's plans, PIP claimants would have faced stricter tests to qualify for support. The assessments involve questions about how difficult a person finds everyday tasks, and they give a score from zero (for no difficulty) to 12 (for most difficulty). Needing help to wash your hair scores two points but needing help to wash between the shoulders and waist is worth four points. The Government had proposed that people would need to score four points in one task such as washing and dressing to qualify for support. Currently they can qualify with eight points across multiple activities. Ahead of the bill's second reading last week, Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall announced a partial U-turn. She said the changes would only come into effect in November 2026 and anyone claiming the benefit before that date would not be subject to the new rules. That meant it would only affect new PIP claimants. But following the rebellion by Labour MPs, the proposal has been scrapped entirely. It means no changes are going to be made until after a further review has taken place. The review is being led by Welfare Minister Sir Stephen Timms, who will work with disabled people and charities. The review will consider: The role of the PIP assessment – as the future single gateway to health-related and disability benefits The assessment criteria – including activities, descriptors and points Whether any other evidence should be considered alongside the assessment How the PIP assessment could provide fair access to support across the benefits system The review will be finished by autumn next year and its findings will be reported to the Work and Pensions Secretary. That means it's not clear yet what recommendations will be made and what will be placed into law. Universal Credit The Government had also planned to make major changes to the health element of Universal Credit. More than three million Universal Credit recipients don't have to find work due to their poor health. A single person who is aged 25 or over can receive the basic level of the benefit, which comes in at £400.14 every month. But those getting an incapacity top-up due to a disability or long-term condition can get an extra £422.37 - more than double the original payment. The new plans mean that anyone up to the age of 22 will not be able to claim the health element. Ministers had tried to freeze the payment for the next four years but a commitment has been made for it to go up with inflation. That means people claiming the health element of Universal Credit and new claimants with the most severe conditions will see their incomes protected in real terms. Existing claimants will get £97 per week until the end of the decade. However, new claimants from 2026 will see the health element drop from £97 a week to £50 a week.
