Shoppers are rushing to bag Morrisons' Baileys dupe that tastes like Dubai chocolate & you'll have change from a tenner
Plus, the other Dubai chocolate dupes on the market CHOC SHOCK Shoppers are rushing to bag Morrisons' Baileys dupe that tastes like Dubai chocolate & you'll have change from a tenner Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MANY people - and supermarkets - have gone Dubai chocolate mad, and the craze has spread to other products too. Shoppers can now pick up a Dubai Chocolate cream liqueur drink from Morrisons, which could take your next dinner party to the next level. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Morrisons is selling a Dubai chocolate cream liqueur Credit: Tiktok/@newfoundfood 3 Some people have raved about the £7 drink - while others aren't impressed Credit: Tiktok/@newfoundfood TikTok account @newfoundfood uploaded a clip of the bottle in their local supermarket and showed how it costs £7. Despite making the most of the popular flavour, they did not seem impressed with the drink version. They wrote: 'wtf have Morrisons done?' The tipple combines the classic chocolate and nutty pistachio flavouring to deliver a deliciously sweet digestif cream liqueur. Many people were quick to agree with being baffled at the drink. One said: 'Why does EVERYTHING have to be Dubai chocolate.' Another added: 'Nope.' However, some people did seem impressed with the liquor, with one writing: 'tbf it is banging.' Donovan's Dubai Chocolate Style Country Cream Liqueur is available in Morrisons stores nationwide and online. It comes after Lidl was forced to place a shopping limit on its Dubai Chocolate-inspired exotic treat. Shoppers in frenzy over cheapest Dubai chocolate arrival in major Irish store at just €1.79 The Della Sante Dubai Style Chocolate Cream spread combines the flavours of the insanely popular chocolate but in spreadable form. That means you can slather it on toast, pile it onto pancakes, dip fruit in it or even spoon it from the jar. The sweet and salty pots cost £4.99 or £3.99 for Lidl Plus members, which is far more expensive than the store's other chocolate spreads. However, the price tag is not deterring customers, and the shop was forced to implement a strict three-jar-only policy. The Sun recently spotted a queue outside the Gosport, Hampshire, store at 8am with shoppers eagerly waiting for the doors to open. 3 Dubai chocolate - with its nutty pistachio flavour - has boomed in popularity this year Credit: Getty 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.

Hollywood star shows off huge weight loss at new film premiere
John Goodman showcased his significant 200-pound weight loss at the Los Angeles premiere of his new Smurfs movie, where he voices Papa Smurf. The actor, who weighed nearly 400 pounds at his heaviest, began his weight loss journey in 2007 by stopping drinking. His successful transformation involved hiring a health coach, cutting sugar from his diet, working out six days a week, and focusing on portion control. Goodman noted that unlike previous attempts where he would regain weight, this time he aimed for a slower, more sustainable approach. He also revealed that he has not spoken to his former on-screen wife, Roseanne Barr, for approximately seven or eight years, despite their strong working relationship in the past.
