Chocolate fans have been going crazy for supermarket dupes of the expensive Dubai chocolate bars and they've been going viral on social media.
Lidl's version was the cheapest when it was brought out at £3.99.
Before it arrived in stores, the chocolate bar had been available on Lidl's TikTok Shop.
It wasn't around for long though as it sold out in a mere 84 minutes.
Numerous supermarkets and bargain stores have been jumping on the Dubai-style chocolate trend.
One of the most-anticipated was the M&S version, which it turned out was a new take on the viral Big Daddy chocolate bar.
The Big Daddy Pistachio is on the pricier end, costing £8.50 for a big 280g bar.
Similarly posh supermarket Waitrose also released a version for £10.
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs...
Go own brand -
if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars.
Shop around
- if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers
- supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars
- most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.

SHOPPERS have been racing to Primark to bag a pretty holiday outfit that's a "90s rewind" and only costs £20. The bargain retail giant has super-sized the floral trend with its oversized hibiscus print co-ord. 3 Primark's new summer outfit is only £20 3 The lightweight skirt is perfect for holidays 3 Fashion fans say the top is giving 90s vibes The cropped mesh top is priced at just £8 while the matching midi skirt will only set you back £12. And fashion fans have insisted the cowl neck cut and loud print are a throwback to the 90s, while the lightweight material is perfect for the sunshine. Both pieces are available in sizes XXS to XL and come in black or pink with a red floral pattern. Describing it on the website, the Primark team say: "Make a statement in this cropped mesh top with a bold red hibiscus print on a black base. Read more in Fabulous "The semi-sheer mesh fabric gives it a light, airy feel, while the fitted silhouette and cowl neckline add a touch of effortless style. "Sleeveless and cropped, it's perfect for summer and pairing with the matching skirt. "Whether you're overseas or basking in the sun at home, this top brings a splash of tropical vibes to your wardrobe." Staff at the bargain chain's Lincoln store warned shoppers to "run don't walk" if they want to get their hands on the set while they showed it off in a TikTok video. Most read in Fabulous And fashionistas have already been going wild for it, as one gushed: "Lovely for night out." "I need one for hols", wrote a second. Primark's new £10 summer top is the perfect & Other Stories dupe A third added: "Why is Primark actually eating lately." "Okay loveee", cried a fourth. A fifth added: "So cute." Meanwhile, a sixth chimed in: "1990's rewind." But not everybody is convinced by the bargain outfit's retro vibes. "Some people rock this as wallpaper in their living rooms", one joked. A second chimed in: "Looks like a nan's kitchen table cloth." "Used to have wallpaper that looked like that", a third insisted. Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: "Screams 1990s .. also seen wallpaper like this I'm sure." Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Fieldsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too. For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect. And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time. But no matter what, Primark always delivers. Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores. While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less. Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards. With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.

THIS is the shocking moment a brazen thief allegedly nabs an influencer's vintage handbag from under her feet while she chats at a restaurant.

Tom Dunne: AI age sounds a worrying note for Irish musicians
That's the things about tech. One minute it's all VHS recorders, CRT TVs, CD players ad floppy disk drives and the next minute it isn't. You wake up and can't find a floppy drive for love nor money. Could music be next? Could it be all Hozier, CMAT and Fontaines DC one minute and just AI elevator music the next? It might seem extreme, but if the song is the building block and AI can write songs, well, where do you begin? Everything is based on the song: The Oasis comeback, viral TikTok hits, entire radio stations, local venues, PA hire companies, merch sales, production companies. Take out the song and nothing happens. But can you take its survival for granted? Two things happened this week to make we think we can't. Firstly, there was The Rest in Entertainment podcast. Its host Richard Osman asked AI to write a song in the style of 'indie landfill, guitar, jingly pop'. The result was to these ears was a perfectly good Kooks' song, Luke Prichard's wonderful Brighton four-piece. It wasn't classic Kooks. It was no She Moves in Her Own Way, but it was good enough. The Kooks have written worse. But Osman got AI to write it in 45 seconds as an illustration of just how jaw-droppingly simple it is. They'd been discussing a band called the Velvet Sundown. They're on Spotify, have two albums and their single Dust in the Wind, a classic slice of CSNY influenced alt-country, has 1.65 million streams. Except the Velvet Sundown – its music, image and back story- are all AI. Then, on the Brendan O'Connor Show on RTÉ radio, the poet Rita Ann Higgins was invited in to read out two poems. One was hers, the other AI generated. When asked which poem was original, 70% of the audience, myself included, got it wrong. We opted for the AI Rita. Mark Little, former RTÉ journalist and tech innovator, pointed out that the AI version is created to be 'familiar' and people like familiar. It's the same reason supermarket curries sell so well. They aren't great. They are fine and inoffensive. Most people are happy with that. These revelations came in the same week that IMRO published its Core Research report on the Cultural and Economic value of Music in Ireland. It will come as no surprise to you that we love it, although the extent of that love might surprise you. Music in Ireland generates revenue of over €1 billion a year. It employs 13,400 people in performance, production and event management, mostly in Dublin, Cork and Galway. Live events generate €786m annually. Around 71 % of adults say it is an important part of their lives, vs 49% for sports. About 53% of us have a music streaming subscription. Our average the spend on streaming is €209 per year which totals €375m a year. We spend on average €298 p.a on live events, more - €326 - if we'd class ourselves as music fans. But when you dig down it's not as rosy. Only 43% of that 13,400 who are employed in music are full time. And whereas nationally the average income is €46,567, for musicians its €28,123. Most – 68% of IMRO members - take a second job to supplement this. They do this because they love it. And on nights when they celebrate those songs with gigs in small venues all over Ireland we love them too. They give us nights we will remember forever, moments with friends that we will treasure. These are the people most at risk. With physical sales gone, and streaming and YouTube not only dividing up income parsimoniously but also undermining the traditional media like radio that paid a fair rate, what will be left? AI could flood the market with 'familiar sounding' songs trained on the very works they are competing against. Trained, by the way, without permission from or recompense for the original artists. The Government needs to do stuff here. Apply the EU AI act to protect copyright, fight for a fairer share of streaming revenue, aid grass roots music venues, extend the Basic Income for Arts, look at extending the Section 481 tax credit into music. Music is a huge brand for Ireland, from trad to U2, Bob Geldof to Hozier. It's something we excel at, but some countries, Sweden and South Korea for instance, seem to take its potential more seriously than we do. You don't know what you got 'til…
