Aldi shoppers distraught after popular item is quietly discontinued: 'Screaming, crying, throwing up'
One Aussie customer sparked a discussion after noticing the beloved Choceur white chocolate coconut blocks were nowhere to be found.
The creamy, coconut-flavoured white chocolate has been a crowd pleaser for years, with cornflakes as one of its key ingredients for an extra crunch.
'Has this been discontinued? It's no longer on the website, and I haven't seen it in store. I've been wanting to try it for ages and now this happens,' the shopper said in a Reddit thread.
Many were distraught over the news, with one saying: 'This is a huge loss. My favourite chocolate.'
'My family were regular buyers of it. Easily the best Choceur by a margin. Unfortunately, we haven't seen it around for the past four to five months,' another shared.
'Screaming, crying, throwing up. Regretting not buying it when I had the chance to,' one added.
It's now confirmed the chocolates were discontinued in November 2024 - as the supermarket giant continues to diversify its product range to provide customers with variety.
The coconut-flavoured white chocolate blocks have been a huge hit among shoppers, with many describing they 'taste like heaven'.
'It's like a Raffaello chocolate ball but in a block form. Oh my god, it's just so good. Hands down, my favourite. I thought I was in heaven the first time I tried it,' one customer raved.
Many agreed, with one saying: 'OMG definitely the best white chocolate ever.'
Content creator Annie Knight previously shared her rave reviews when she taste tested the white chocolate coconut block.
'Are you joking? I think this is the best chocolate I've ever had,' she declared.
'This is a 10. I've been waiting to give out a 10 and I'm giving it to Aldi chocolate. Can you believe it? I don't think you can get any better than that.
'It's the best thing I've ever had in my life. This wins. This slaps.'

Chris Hemsworth has shared a sweet post dedicated to his wife Elsa Pataky on her 49th birthday. The Aussie star, 41, took to Instagram on Saturday to wish the Spanish actress a happy birthday as they celebrated her special day together. 'Happy birthday @elsapataky! Thank you for being an incredible human and each year continuing to allow me to eat the vast majority of the cake,' he captioned the post, which has received over one million likes. One snap showed the actress wearing a giant smile on her face as she sat alongside her husband with a giant chocolate cake in front of them. Another featured Chris leaning in as Elsa excitedly blew out her candles, surrounded by pastries, cakes and her loved ones.

Rumours have recently circulated about the couple after they spent several weeks apart due to work commitments. Elsa had been in her native Spain, filming her new TV series Matices, while Chris had been travelling, even attending the final day of Wimbledon without his wife. However, on Thursday, they reunited in London at the premiere of Chris' new National Geographic series, Limitless: Live Better Now, with their twin sons, Tristan and Sasha, 11. Sporting summer tans, the genetically-blessed duo glowed as they cuddled up, clearly happy to be back in each other's arms. The event was a family affair, with all of Chris' family in attendance. His father Craig and mother Leonie were present, as well as his brother Liam and his girlfriend Gabriella Brooks. For the glitzy evening, Chris, who stars in the show exploring how humans 'can live better for longer', looked handsome in a navy two-piece suit. He layered his tailored two-piece over a crisp white T-shirt and an unbuttoned dark blue shirt. Meanwhile, Elsa put on a leggy display as she slipped into a sparkly sheer dress which was layered over a strappy white dress. She added inches to her toned physique as she wore a pair of strappy silver heels and slicked her blonde tresses back into an up-do. Chris and Elsa tied the knot during the Christmas holidays in 2010. The Hemsworths have made Byron Bay their home in recent years, after relocating from Los Angeles to Australia nine years ago.

Aussie mum-of-two who quit her job to become a stay-at-home 'tradwife' reveals what her new life is really like
An Australian mum-of-two who quit her job to focus on her husband and two kids says she is embracing the 'tradwife' lifestyle - without the oppression. Stacey Knight has built a loyal following on social media with videos of her in summer dresses making meat pies and finger buns from scratch in her idyllic kitchen. Formerly a nurse, the 26-year-old gave up her job in 2023, swapping 'scrubs for spatulas and nappies', to raise her two young children. 'I got to a point where I was like, "Oh, I don't want to do this anymore",' she said about her job. While pregnant with her eldest son, Dusty, she studied a postgraduate course in injectable and dermal science because she wanted to start her own business. 'I was really struggling with the thought of being a stay-at-home mum,' she told Daily Mail Australia. However, after Dusty was born, her perspective shifted, and following six months of working just one day a week, she resigned. Two years later, she said she 'absolutely does not' miss her old job. Some of her content uses #tradwife, which is associated with women embracing traditional gendered roles at home and often associated with the archetype of 1950s housewives 'I much prefer to stay at home with my kids in these early years. I'd rather savour that moment,' she said. Neither her husband, Tom, nor her friends cared about her decision to leave the workforce, she said. 'I have lots of friends that love going to work,' she said, adding that people just have 'different interests'. 'I think women are expected to get a full-time job, plus do all the stay-at-home, mum things – like meal prep and caring for the children – and never get much of a break. 'I think that expectation is unfair but obviously some people do not have the choice and have to go to work.' Ms Knight chose to share her life on 'Staying home with Stacey' – a recipe website and set of social media channels inspired by her gardening and homemade meals. Whether in a flowing, white skirt gesturing with a natural lollipop, or with a basket on her arm filled with vegetables from her garden, she is the picture of a 'traditional wife'. The content is similar to that of other mothers in their 20s and 30s who have rushed to social media to create videos celebrating staying at home under the tag #tradwife. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jasmine Darke (@jasminedinis) The term refers to women who perform traditional gendered roles serving their husbands and children, often likened to the archetypal 1950s 'housewife'. #Tradwife has divided many Australians, most recently parents of Year 9 students in South Australia who were shocked when non-profit competition organiser Debating SA suggested the lifestyle as a topic. 'The "Trad Wife" movement is good for women,' the debate was titled. Australian influencer Jasmine Dinis regularly shares Christian and political values alongside videos of her baking sourdough bread, infamously earning criticism online for her post in January: 'Woke up this morning. Baby on my hip. Making some fresh sourdough. My husband is hot. Trump is the president of the US. Life is good.' Several videos on Ms Knight's TikTok are captioned 'Husband's lunch prep with a side of flu' or 'snack prep for my two kids' with the hashtag. But, for the Queenslander, her content is not about selling a lifestyle – in fact, she has only ever had one sponsorship deal so far for which she was not paid. 'I'm doing it by choice, not because it's expected or because I don't have any other options. I genuinely enjoy it, and I chose this path myself,' she said. A TikTok video by Ms Knight was captioned 'Trad wife hobbies without the oppression' and some videos, including those prepping her husband's lunch, included the hashtag. Asked how she feels about the term 'tradwife', she emphasised that, for her, it is about freely embracing the things she loves. 'I don't believe it's about going backwards. I do it because I love it and have a genuine interest in homemaking, cooking and gardening,' she said. 'I think the 1950s version lacked choice and freedom. I'm sophisticated, I still have opinions and am very involved in everything our family does. 'If I didn't stay at home with the kids, someone would be paying for childcare. It is definitely still work.' And what about 'serving' her husband? Ms Knight explained Tom dislikes cooking, whereas she enjoys it and places a higher priority on health. 'I do it because my husband would happily eat a servo pie and I'd like him to stay healthy,' she said. 'He really would be happy with anything so I think I just care about his health maybe a little bit more than he does.'

In high spirits and clearly enjoying their day out, the couple shared laughs and exchanged warm smiles, showing plenty of affection. Their relaxed and happy demeanour suggested it was the perfect outing, with Grace holding onto Wilson's arm.

Set to host a new weekly video podcast called Game On With Grace, she will aim to introduce cricket to a broader US audience through engaging stories, conversations, and personalities. Cricket has long struggled to gain traction in the US, but Grace's podcast signals a modern, media-savvy approach to breaking through in a competitive sporting landscape. She hopes to bridge the gap between the cricketing world and American viewers by showcasing the sport's energy, global appeal and human stories. Grace's father, Matthew Hayden, was one of Australia's most dominant opening batsmen, playing 103 Tests and scoring over 8,000 runs.

Together, Gilchrist and Hayden helped Australia dominate world cricket in the early 2000s, and now their legacy continues through Grace and her groundbreaking podcast. 'Game On is about pulling back the curtain on the world of sports' untold stories,' Grace said. 'I grew up in cricket's front row and have covered its biggest tournaments, but the moments that fascinate me most happen off camera. 'Partnering with Willow allows me to share those raw, funny, and inspiring conversations with athletes, artists, and anyone chasing greatness. 'I can't wait to bring these stories to fans each week on the Willow app and wherever they listen to podcasts.' While cricket is already gaining some ground in the US with the launch of Major League Cricket, Grace's podcast adds a much-needed storytelling and cultural dimension. By combining star power, youthful energy, and cross-cultural connection, she hopes to play a vital role in making cricket resonate with a new American audience.
