Another gushed: 'Saw them in B&M, they're so yum.'
Made with fruit juice and no artificial colours, the treats come with a softer, squidgier texture than the originals, giving your childhood faves a tasty update.
But there's a catch – B&M is the only place stocking them right now, and they're not available online, so you'll need to head in-store to bag a pack.
Sweet fans are already racing to their local branches to hunt them down, with many calling them the 'perfect snack' for summer.

If you want to try them yourself, it's worth ringing your nearest B&M before making the trip to check they've got them in stock.
So if you're after a chewy, fruity throwback with a modern twist, these Squidgers might just be your next go-to treat.
I wasn't going to fork out for a Labubu so nabbed a budget alternative from B&M instead - it's SO much cuter too

Exotic pet ownership surges in UK with more than 300 big cats living in homes
The Ark Rescue sanctuary in Lincolnshire is one of several places picking up the pieces after exotic pet purchases go wrong, while experts warn UK legislation needs to be tightened up to protect species New movies and TV shows are driving a surge in exotic pet ownership, but then are turfed out after people realise they can't cope with their complex needs, it's been claimed. More than 300 dangerous, large cats are living across the UK, according to the Born Free Foundation. Many are in regular homes, with owners who don't have zoo licences. Jamie Mintram, who runs The Ark wildlife sanctuary near Boston, Lincolnshire, also blamed social media for fuelling the new craze, while saying that movies can unwittingly made some species sought-after. He said: 'The demand now is for exotic wildcats which is being driven by posts on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. We saw the trend really kick-off after that horrible documentary Tiger King came out in the first lockdown. "When people realise they can't get a lion or a tiger in the UK, they look for the closest thing and we've had a lot of cases of wild cats such as serval and lynx cats being bought on a whim. READ MORE: You have probably never heard of the world's most trafficked animal - and it now risks extinction 'But these are exotic wild animals with complex needs and have wrongly been nicknamed house cheetahs. People buy them to show off on social media and to have something different to brag about. But these cats are much bigger than a regular cat. "They're not cuddly and don't want to snuggle on the sofa. When people realise they don't make ideal pets, they get dumped.' Jamie, who started by taking in abandoned reptiles, said adverts like Compare the Market were responsible for a surge in ownership in Meerkats. Foxes, wallabies and jungle cats have also been seized or abandoned by British owners. Residents include Flerken, a savannah cat deemed too wild to be kept as a pet. She is a cross between an African wildcat and a domestic breed - seized by Border Force officers after being illegally imported into the UK nearly five years ago. Jamie says the breed, which can grow up to three times the size of a domestic cat, can fetch between £16,000 - £20,000. Another rescue is African serval wild cat Anubis who was given up by the family he lived with in Oldham, Greater Manchester. A quick search on the website Preloved shows how easy it is to buy savannah kittens, alongside meerkats, skunks and sugar gliders, a nocturnal possum that inhabit the forests of Australia and New Guinea. Earlier this year six were dumped outside a Lidl supermarket in West Lothian, Scotland. Chris Lewis, Born Free's Captivity Research and Policy Manager said, "Currently, it is far too easy for people to impulsively buy almost any wild animal as a pet. Often animals are bought and sold as novelties after being depicted as 'cute' or 'unusual' on social media, tv shows or in movies, with potential owners having little knowledge of the complex needs they have. 'Current legislation can't keep up with the ever changing trends and demands for wild animals as pets and fails to protect the animals sadly caught up in this trade. The legislation which governs the keeping and selling of wild animals as pets needs urgent review. Born Free would also like to see the introduction of permitted lists, as adopted by a number of other countries, which aim to ensure only species whose welfare can be met in a domestic setting are allowed to be kept as pets." It would seem sensible to presume that purchasing a big cat in the UK it is not possible. But according to figures from Born Free in 2021 there are 11 lions, eight tigers, 11 leopards, 18 pumas, 10 cheetahs, two ligers and one jaguar .50 years on from the DWA Act being introduced to discourage the fashion for interesting pets, it is perfectly legal for private collectors to own a cat as big as a lion. All you need is the approval of your local council. Arthur Thomas, FOUR PAWS UK Public Affairs advisor said: "These majestic wild animals, big or small, have complex physical, psychological, and social needs that cannot be met in a home environment. Sadly, the craze for adding a wild animal to your family has been made more accessible because of social media. FOUR PAWS has campaigned for greater protections for all animals and believes that a ban on the sale of animals on social media sites would be a step in the right direction to ensure animal welfare is protected. Ultimately, we should look to move to a Positive List model, as just been approved by EU Parliament, that would significantly restrict the keeping of wild animals in the UK. Animals should never be a status symbol and we hope that this is merely a cruel trend, and one that passes quickly."

Abandoned bungalow filled with dolls and teddies leaves explorers horrified
Two explorers discovered an abandoned bungalow in the woods packed to the brim with teddy bears and dolls, but were so freaked out, one labelled it 'one of the most uncomfortable places' Explorers are often looking for their next adventure, uncovering deserted buildings, walking through abandoned theme parks, or making their way to secluded sites forgotten in time. This can lead to some rather spooky discoveries, but nothing compares to the forgotten home packed full of teddies and dolls, as two explorers found out. Mitch Johnson and Jake Parr claimed they had heard about the home of a woman who had hoarded toys after her husband had passed away. After later dying herself, the property was said to have been left abandoned, and her collection of toys remained untouched. The explorers reportedly spent four days using Google Maps to find the bungalow. They drove six and a half hours from Manchester to Selkirk, Scotland, and then walked for around an hour through the woods to where the property was said to be located. Unsure of whether they were able to get inside the bungalow, as they vow to never break in, they found a panel of the back door was missing and they entered through a gap, reports Kennedy News and Media. Inside, they found every room covered in cobwebs and packed to the brim with teddy bears and soft toys for a chilling discovery. "This was the creepiest place I've ever been to. I just could not wait to get out. I even sacrificed some pictures because I just didn't want to be in there," Mitch said. He continued: "It was literally a 50 minute trek to the house it was that remote. We were going through all this pine forest and we were hearing all sorts of noises and branches were snapping everywhere. "It was just the most bizarre place I've ever been and I've been all around the world doing this." A video was shared of their discovery on Mitch's Facebook page, No Limits, and he believes the toys were a sense of comfort for the wife who lived there after her husband reportedly died during the 80s. Mitch shared: "There were some real collectables in there, some really rare dolls. There were like 200 or 300 Cabbage Patch Dolls. Some of them are a grand each. "All the Care Bear teddies, all the Monsters Inc teddies. All the teddies you could imagine. It was just like a plethora of teddies. It was just mental. "It was dusty as well when you were in there you could taste how damp the place was so I don't know how she lived in there. It was a little unnerving as well because I kept thinking at any moment someone's going to pop out here. "You can only just walk into the bedroom, the rest of it was just teddies so it's like six feet deep." In addition to the cuddly toys, the husband's workshop was said to also remain untouched, with tools left where they were once in use. "It was probably one of the most uncomfortable places I've ever been to if I'm honest because I wasn't quite sure if there was anyone in the teddies. It felt like anyone was going to jump out at any opportunity, " Mitch confessed. "I felt like I was being watched. I couldn't wait to get out of there, I really couldn't. I spent six and a half hours driving and then maybe an hour trekking to it and I just couldn't wait to get out of the place. "I even ended up going and sitting outside while my mate was still taking his pictures." He added: "I've been to asylums and loads of places around the world on my own and this was the most scary place I have ever been in and there was just a weird vibe about it that didn't sit right at all." Mitch, 40, has now accumulated an impressive following of 51,000 on his urban exploring Facebook page, which he started in 2018. He also runs a YouTube channel and an Instagram account. Reflecting on his adventures, he shared: "It can be a bit of an emotional burden because I see that much, it just makes you realise that life is extremely short and the things you accumulate mean absolutely nothing. It's your memories that mean something."
