Haribo have launched a brand new Berry Clouds flavour of sweets.
The sweets offer triple-layer foam gummi, which is cloud-like in shape and texture.
It comes in succulent blueberry, wildberry and strawberry flavours.
The flavour comes in 650g packets, so are perfect for sharing with friends and family.
Handily, these are resealable so you can have just a cheeky sweet or two and save the rest for later.
The company have reportedly been working on Berry Clouds since 2020.
This came as part of a remarkable drive for new flavours at Haribo, which earned the company the US Consumer Survey of Product Innovation award in 2022.
Berry Clouds are already proving a huge hit with punters lucky enough to get their hands on the new packets.
"These are banging" raved one happy fan.
Another couldn't hide their desperation to taste them: "I need to try these!"
There's a drawing lurking in this picture of sweets - so can YOU work out which bit isn't real?
Haribo Director of Marketing Elisa Fontana said: 'We are pleased to present this exciting new innovation and product launch that further strengthens our support to our retail partners.
"Berry Clouds was developed in direct response to consumer feedback.
The new flavour is part of an extension of Haribo's Travel Edition sweets offer.
'The travel retail channel needs to respond consistently to consumer demands for a regular flow of new, exciting products to meet their needs in flavours, textures and pack sizes," Fontana added.
"We are investing in a strong pipeline of innovation, driven by market insight and with in-store support.
'Our research shows that product innovation works best when it is backed by the solid reassurance of a trusted, known brand.
"We are presenting our new pack alongside trusted Haribo global favourites, such as Goldbears and our top-selling packs in travel retail – including the Haribo and Maoam DuoPack Sour and the Haribo Giant Roulette."
"This enables us to achieve our mission of giving the shopper the confidence to experiment with new packs, flavours, shapes and textures, driving conversion and spend.'
This comes after Haribo recalled packets of sweets in the Netherlands found to contain cannabis.
It was reportedly discovered when a family fell ill after eating Happy Cola F!ZZ and contacted the police.
An investigation into the alleged incident has now been launched, according to a spokesperson for the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA).
The authority confirmed that "samples were taken and cannabis was found in them".
This also comes after Haribo opened its first-ever stand-alone retail store in Scotland.
It is their 12th UK shop in Glasgow.
Sweet-toothed visitors to their most northern shop are able to immerse themselves in the happy world of HARIBO, which features its much-loved products, exclusive merchandise, and fun photo opportunities.
The store is a sweet escape for children and adults alike, inviting everyone to embrace their inner child.

Pretty Cornish seaside village with ‘secret' crescent-shaped beach and holiday park
Plus, the best family attractions in Cornwall from scenic open-top bus journeys to award-winning adventure parks Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CORNWALL isn't short of amazing seaside villages but there is one that is much quieter than it's neighbours. The village of Par - home to a harbour once used for copper - has fewer crowds on its sandy beach. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Par is a historic seaside village known for its clay trading history in Cornwall Credit: Alamy 5 One of the main attractions near to the village, is Polkerris Beach Credit: Alamy One of the main attractions though, set just away from the village is Polkerris Beach - one of Cornwall's best-kept sunset secrets, according to the team at Park Holidays. The crescent-shaped beach sits on the Cornish coastline with low cliffs, turquoise waters and is surrounded by vibrant greenery. At the edges of the beach, there are also great coastal walks with rich wildlife. Many visitors love this spot for water sports, such as kayaking and paddle-boarding. And the beach has a welcoming pub too, called The Rashleigh Inn. The waterhole sits right by the sand, overlooking the shoreline. Alternatively, visitors can head to Sam's on the Beach - a relaxed bistro serving up fish dishes in a former RNLI lifeboat station. One recent visitor said: "This is a lovely little beach cove." Another visitor said: "Nice small harbour beach, very popular with families, with soft sand for the kids. "Plenty of interesting rock pools revealed by the receding tide. Pub With A 'Floating' Beer Garden By The Beach "Sam's bar serves great seafood dishes, the lobster and scallop dishes were both fresh, a good portion and reasonably priced." Set back just 120 metres from the beach, there is also Polkerris Holidays - a family-run static caravan park - in case you wanted to extend your stay. The village itself is also only two miles from the Eden Project, which can even be reached by foot - if you are feeling adventurous - via walking through the expansive Luxulyan Valley. The valley contains a pretty woodland, split by the River Par. 5 Many visitors love the beach for watersports and there are many walking trails around the beach Credit: Alamy 5 There is even a pub - The Rashleigh Inn - located at the beach Credit: Alamy Due to it being home to industrial remains from the 19th century, including viaducts - the valley was named a World Heritage Site in 2006. Then 3.5 miles from village, visitors can find St Austell - a popular town among tourists with many different attractions to explore. To get to Par, the village has its own railway station, which is on the mainline between Paddington and Penzance. The region also boasts many different places to stay such as camping and glamping sites or the prestigious Trenython Manor - a country estate built in 1872 and set in 24-acres. Here's how to do pricey Cornwall on a budget thanks to Hols from £9.50 – with world's best beach and fish and chips for under £5. Plus, the best family attractions in Cornwall from scenic open-top bus journeys to award-winning adventure parks.

Look around the tiny English island with a volcano, rare wildlife & 250 residents who have one of 7 surnames
The island is said to be home to the most isolated settlement in the world REMOTE GEM Look around the tiny English island with a volcano, rare wildlife & 250 residents who have one of 7 surnames Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN ENGLISH island with its own volcano and unique wildlife, has just 250 residents. Residents of this remote settlement speak English, but the language has evolved over the years, so sounds completely different to the dialect we are used to. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Tristan Da Cunha is home to the world's most remote settlement Credit: Getty 7 Only 250 people live on the island Credit: Getty 7 The islanders share just seven surnames Credit: Getty The world's most remote settlement Edinburgh of the Seven Seas - named after it was visited by The Duke of Edinburgh HRH Prince Alfred in 1887 - is said to be the world's most isolated settlement, as it is further (1,514 miles) from its nearest neighbour, St Helena, than any other community in the world. The village, which is known as simply The Settlement to locals, is the only inhabited area of Tristan da Cunha, a group of tiny islands that make up one of three constituent parts of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena. Despite being 5,000 miles away from the UK, its 250 inhabitants are British citizens who are all descended from original settlers. The islanders share just seven surnames between them: Glass, Swain, Green, Rogers, Hagan, Repetto and Lavarello. Among the residents is a doctor, and other professionals such as dentists, opticians and priests often visit for a few months, to provide services to the islanders. All of the land on the land on Tristan da Cunha is communally owned, with outsiders prohibited from buying or selling land on the island. Agriculture and fishing are the island's major industries, with the Tristan rock lobster being the island's biggest export. Tristan de Cunha was discovered in 1506 by Portuguese explorer Tristão da Cunha and was then settled by British marines and American whalers. In the war, the tiny set of islands was used as a weather station, and the currency in Tristan is the pound. Tristan has two volcanoes Queen Mary's Peak on the main island and Edinburgh Peak on Gough Island. Little Diomede is a tiny remote island where US is just 2 MILES from Russia Queen Mary's Peak last erupted back in 1961, whilst Edinburgh Peak is classified as extinct. It is also home to an abundance of wildlife, such as rockhopper penguins, whales and dolphins. How to get there If you want to visit the island, you need permission to land, and you will need to show proof of travel insurance and a fully paid return ticket. There are no planes or airports, so you will have to travel by boat to the island, either by a five-to-ten-day sea voyage from Cape Town aboard fishing vessels or Polar research trips. 7 There are no planes or airports on the island Credit: Getty And, once you've got to the island, there's no guarantee your ship will be able to dock, with adverse weather conditions often leaving passengers stranded. Visitors to the island must pay a landing and harbour fee (£30 for cruise passengers, £15 for yacht visitors) and each visitor has to sign an indemnity waver. Once you've reached the island, there's no mobile connection, and internet access is shared via the whole community via a slow and expensive satellite. Rare form of English According to the Name Explain YouTube channel, people on the island speak the "rarest" form of English. For example, residents shorten vowel sounds, so the word 'base' would be pronounced as 'Bes'. They also drop t's, meaning that words such as 'butter' are pronounced like 'buher'. They also refrain from pluralising words, meaning 'two cats' would be simply 'two cat' and add an H to the beginning of words starting with a vowel, so apple becomes happle. 7 The island of Tristan da Cunha from the southern end.

Much-loved pet shop forced to close after more than 60 years ‘amid cost pressures'
Another store may open in a different town SHUTTERS DOWN Much-loved pet shop forced to close after more than 60 years 'amid cost pressures' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BELOVED family-owned pet shop has been forced to shut down after 66 years of business, due to "cost pressures". Dabners pet shop in Croydon is set to close for the last time on Saturday, August 16. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Owner Mark Oram, 61, has worked at the pet shop for 40 years Credit: BPM It first opened on Surrey Street in 1959, and was inherited by Mark who took over the business from his father. Rising costs and decreasing footfall to the store has lead to the store shutting down, which Mark says was exacerbated by the government's autumn budget last year. In one month, Dabners experienced a 30 per cent fall in customers walking through its doors, the greatest drop the store has seen in the 40 years Mark has worked there. He said to BPM Media: 'It's so sad and very disheartening. 'I've worked on this my whole life and to see it go down this way is horrible." With the closure, Mark is now looking to open up another pet shop, likely out of Croydon town centre. Rampant crime and antisocial behaviour in the area has made him concerned about continuing business in the area. The pet shop owner is therefore looking to set up another store in Horsham, West Sussex. Mark told MyLondon: 'Croydon feels a bit lawless. "Shoplifting is worse than ever but we're not getting any support. Pet owners race to B&M for hilariously-named designer doggie accessories, including Poochie Vuitton and Furrsace Last year, the businessowner had a knife pulled on him in the middle of Surrey Street as he tried to stop a shoplifter from stealing a dog harness. Despite allegedly capturing the incident on video by a member of the public, Scotland Yard claimed they did not have enough evidence to prosecute the suspect. Mark added: "If we catch one [shoplifter] we're just told to email the police who never do much about it." The Metropolitan Police in response have said they are focusing on the most profilic offenders. They also contend that shoplifting in Croydon town centre has dropped by 31 per cent over the past six months. Metropolitan Police's neighbourhood policing lead for Croydon, Superintendent Mitch Carr, added: "Croydon is one of 20 town centres and high streets across London that will see enhanced police and partner activity this summer. "There will be increased police patrols, intelligence-led plain-clothed operations in hotspot areas, and officers will relentlessly target wanted and prolific offenders who commit offences, particularly shoplifting and anti-social behaviour." Mark also thinks Croydon Council could do more to support independent traders, and return the area a top shopping location. He said: 'Ten years ago people used to travel here from other areas, now we're only serving locals - and some of them even go to Bromley or other parts of South London for better shops." Croydon Council has described the closure of Dabners "disappointing", and recognised the contribution it has made to the community over the past six decades. A spokesperson from the council said: "We understand these are challenging times for retailers nationally, particularly independent businesses. "That's why Croydon Council continues to deliver a range of business support programmes, funded by external grants." They have planned to invest £4.4 million into an "Amplifying Surrey Street programme" which hopes to improve market infrastructure and greenery in the area, as well as deliver a programme of events that can help drive footfall.
