In recent months, there has been a flurry of nostalgic snacks returning to the shelves, including a rare Cadbury chocolate bar initially launched in 2012.
Crispello, a mix of wafer and chocolate, had only been available abroad until recently, when shoppers were quick to spot it in B&M.
The bars were being sold in individual packs, each containing four separate chocolate-covered crispy wafer shells with a creamy chocolate filling, for just 49p.

Shoppers go mad for £20 furniture from B&M that doubles up as organisation for your plants
SHOPPERS are going wild for a £20 item at B&M which doubles as a set of shelves and a stand for your plants. The budget-friendly retailer says that the stocks are low, as customers race to their local stores. 3 B&M is known for its incredible savings and bargains, with its products regularly going viral online. One eagle-eyed shopper spotted the Spaceways 6 Tier Plastic Storage stack in their local store and immediately took to social media to share their find. The huge set of shelves can be ranged in a variety of ways, from three separate stands to one tall stack. It is perfect for storing pictures, plants or books and has dimensions of 38.5 x 33 x 151cm. The shelf comes in black and, according to B&M, it is 'easy' to assemble. The set costs just £20, but, according to B&M, stocks are low. The customer who spotted the item posted their find in Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook and shoppers from across the country have gone wild. One excited Facebook user posted: 'ooop need this for plant pots!!!!' Another said that they loved the original poster's way of setting their shelves up, saying: 'Ooooo I like how you've put it together. Fab idea. I want one now.' Others had creative ideas of their own, with one clever shopper saying: 'This could be good to use as shelving in a shed.' Shoppers are racing to B&M for Molly-Mae's latest collection & there are some incredible scents for less than a fiver The news comes after another wave of B&M's products went viral on social media. The Boucel Barstool in Beige is currently retailing for just £1, instead of the usual price of £20. According to one customer though, only the beige barstool is on sale - meaning fans are racing to shops before it sells out. B&M regularly slashes the price of its products, as it clears out its stock to make room for exciting new products. The Peyton Leather Effect Bench is now half price at £45, down from £90. The Chicago table is currently selling for just £40, after being reduced from £110 - a 63 per cent saving. The set also includes two benches, making it a great choice for fine dining. Asda has launched its luxury table and chair set, with the rattan garden-set. The sell-out product costs £149 and comes in a light, summery design which makes it perfect for enjoying the warmer weather. Meanwhile, Tesco's own rattan-set is retailing for just £16 as it clears its shelves. Originally costing £25, the supermarket has slashed £9 off the cost of the popular garden product. When comparing products, it is important to check the specifications so you buy the item that is best suited for your purposes. COMPARE PRICES FOR THE BEST DEAL JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal. There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to. Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers. Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of. 3

Major music festival with A-list headliners cancelled at the last minute
Connecticut's popular Soundside Music Festival has abruptly been cancelled, two months before its headliners were set to take the stage. The two-day event – which was set to return to Seaside Park in Bridgeport, Connecticut on September 27 and 28 – has been axed due to 'circumstances beyond our control', organisers have said. The headliners slated for the event were The Killers, Weezer, Hozier and Vampire Weekend, with Japanese Breakfast, Remi Wolf, Alex Warren and The Last Dinner Party also included in the line-up. But now a brief message on the festival's website has announced: 'Due to circumstances beyond our control, Soundside Music Festival has been cancelled. 'Tickets will be refunded to the original method of payment in as little as 30 days depending on your bank's processing time.' The festival organisers have not provided any further specifics on why the event will not be going ahead. The official Soundside Music Festival social media accounts were taken down following the announcement, including its Instagram and Facebook pages, which had over 52,000 combined followers. General admission for a single-day ticket to the festival started at $170 (£127), according to the Soundside Music Festival's now-deleted ticket page. This comes after the Foo Fighters cancelled their performance at the festival last year, following on from lead singer Dave Grohl's admission that he cheated on his wife and fathered a child with another person. The gig was slated for September 29, 2024, but was pulled without an explanation in an Instagram post which had its comments promptly switched off. The announcement came after the rock band had been shaken by controversy just weeks earlier, as Dave, 56, shared a statement to social media in which he admitted he was the father to a new baby daughter born outside his marriage. More Trending To the shock of fans, the frontman – who has been married to Jordyn Blum since 2003 – shared on Instagram: 'I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. 'I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. 'We're grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.' Got a story?

The 1% Club fans baffled as they're left feeling like 'absolute geniuses'
The 1% Club, hosted by Lee Mack, has left viewers seriously divided after a question from the 10% round was shared on social media. The 1% Club enthusiasts have confessed they're "worrying for society" following a particularly contentious question. The popular ITV quiz show, hosted by the witty Lee Mack, often splits viewers with some left scratching their heads and others quickly identifying the correct answer - and this latest conundrum was no exception. The programme's unique format involves 100 participants tackling a series of questions that have been previously answered by the public, with each round increasing in difficulty, culminating in a final question known only to an elite 1%. As host Lee Mack presents the 15 questions, contestants are gradually eliminated. Each contestant starts with a £1,000 stake and must secure their answers within a tight 30-second window, either advancing to the next stage or using a pass after the 50% mark. Reaching the final round not only brings prestige but also the chance to bag up to £100,000 or a share of the prize money. Typically, the 10% question proves to be one of the toughest, with an average of just 10 contestants getting it right on the show, reports Bristol Live. However, one particular question has sparked debate among fans on social media, leading to a split opinion over whether it should be more straightforward to solve, while leaving others utterly perplexed. Circulating on Facebook, a fan posted the puzzling query: "Two has 3, three has 5, and four has 4. Logically, how many does five have?" Upon realising the answer was based on the number of letters in the word (with five having 4), one person commented: "If that's 10% then I worry for society." Echoing the sentiment, a fan responded: "That was my thought too," while another quickly boasted: "4 quickest I ever got one." Yet, someone offered a different take: "If 3 has 5, then 5 would have 3." To which another retorted: "You would deffo be out," and someone else chuckled: "Better use your pass mate." Confusion reigned for some, with a comment reading: "Is this an American question," and another admitting defeat: "I can't work it out." Many felt the question was far too simple for its supposed difficulty level, with remarks such as "too easy" for a 10% question and one stating: "I got it instantly when reading. That was easy as, how is that a 10% question?" Others suggested a higher difficulty rating, with one adding: "Definitely like a 50% question at most though." The low difficulty rating baffled many, prompting one to jest: "How is this only 10%? Like seriously are they asking chickens, toddlers and dogs?" And amidst the mixed reactions, one individual humorously declared: "I must be an absolute genius."
