I tried viral angel hair chocolate – what on earth is it?
The sweet treat (currently on sale for £4.50 with a Clubcard) is made of ruby and white chocolate, but inside it has pistachio cream and cotton candy (also known as candyfloss to us in the UK).
This week, I have watched endless amounts of people eat the chocolate bar on TikTok during my evening hourly doom scroll.
Many have compared it to what can only be described as 'eating a carpet' due to the candyfloss "fibres", so I had no idea what to expect, and I think I actually scared myself.
Truth be told, I'm still asking, what the hell did I eat? In fact, I can't stop thinking about it, as it might be the weirdest thing I've digested in 2025 so far.
As soon as I unwrapped the Noesis Angel Hair Chocolate bar, there was an almighty waft of white chocolate, now this sweet scent of vanilla was a delight to get started with.
But then came the real fun part, it was time to snap the chocolate bar in half to see what was waiting for me inside.
Have you seen this viral angel hair chocolate at other supermarkets in the UK? (Image: Molly Court/Newsquest) Alas, I was greeted by a mass of literal hairy pink and white fibres, and my brain almost exploded – was I really about to eat such a bonkers-looking substance?
I know it's candyfloss, but my mind could hardly accept it as it was so dense.
Anyway, I got a grip and took a bite - my mouth was instantly filled with a very bizarre texture, I almost felt like I'd bitten into a tea towel and I froze.
But after only a few seconds later, I carried on rapidly chewing and noticed it was dissolving.
All of a sudden, it turned into a pleasant chocolatey mix so I began to relax.
I don't think I will eat anything as weird as an angel hair chocolate bar for the rest of the year (Image: Molly Court/Newsquest) I was surprised at just how lovely it tasted, there was a balance of flavours between the creamy ruby and white chocolate, as well as the candyfloss.

Sadly, I thought the pistachio flavour lacked a little for my liking - in my opinion, there could be more of it.
What I will say, is that this bar is only 70g, and although quite thick, it's awfully small for the price (after about two bites each between me and my partner, it was gone).
Would I eat it again? Absolutely. But it might be the first and last time I spend near enough £5 for a smaller-than-average bar of chocolate that left my taste buds with such confusion.

Lewis Capaldi sends tear-jerking message to fans after joining Noah Kahan for surprise Hyde Park performance
Lewis Capaldi wore a Chelsea FC strip while performing a rendition of 'Northern Attitude' with the American singer Lewis Capaldi delivered an emotional message to fans during Noah Kahan's concert in Hyde Park on Friday night, when he appeared on stage alongside the famed US singer to the surprise of gig-goers. The 28-year-old Scots singing sensation, who has been open about his mental health struggles, made a triumphant return to the stage after a hiatus, performing 'Northern Attitude' alongside Kahan. After his dazzling comeback at Glastonbury last week, where he had previously been unable to complete his set due to his Tourette's diagnosis, Lewis surprised attendees at BST by expressing his joy at being back. The artist, who burst onto the stage to join Kahan for the hit, which he normally sings alongside Irish musician Hozier, shared with the audience the success of his latest single, Survive. "Survive is this week's UK Number One, and I want to say a massive thank you to everybody who's been streaming it, downloading it," Capaldi told the packed crowd. "It really means the world." Grateful for the warm reception, he added: "I've been away for a little while and to come back to this outpouring of love and support has been absolutely incredible. "I can't thank everybody enough for all the kind words since Glastonbury - and now this! It's been the best week of my life. I hope you continue to enjoy the song, it means a lot to me." Capaldi hilariously matched Kahan's outfit, donning a Chelsea FC shirt and wearing a plaited wig to match his hair. Fans couldn't believe their eyes, with one writing on TikTok: "Lewis is popping up everywhere and I'm so here for it," and another scribing: "There is nothing he can't do. I am so pleased to see this lad's comeback." A third tweeted jokingly: "The world is healing." After an emotional performance at Glastonbury last week, Lewis has seen his latest album 'Survive' fly off the shelves, selling a staggering 68,500 copies in its opening week, including over four million streams. This feat eclipses his previous record of 56,000 with the 2022 hit 'Forget Me'. The artist, who has been candid about his diagnosis with Tourette syndrome, had to withdraw from Glastonbury two years prior, explaining to his followers: "I'm still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette's and on Saturday it became obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order." Later that year, Lewis updated his fans, stating: "I'm currently taking some time off to focus on my health and wellbeing and it's been going great!" Following his triumphant return last week, it has now been confirmed that Lewis is set to embark on a tour across the UK and Ireland later this year. The singer will grace the stage in ten cities, including Glasgow and Aberdeen. Launching his first headline tour in over two years, Lewis will begin in Sheffield on September 7, with the tour wrapping up in Dublin on September 29. The 'Hold Me While You Wait' singer's itinerary also includes two performances at London's O2, with additional stops in Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, and Cardiff.

‘I tried out a pair of 'pyjama jeans' and now I can't go back to regular denim'
Mirror's shopping writer Grace put a pair of "pyjama jeans" from a Taylor Swift-approved viral brand to the test to see if they could live up to proper denim Denim is easily the most-worn fabric in my wardrobe, especially through spring and summer. I love a good pair of jeans and am forever searching for the perfect fit. Even though I reach for them almost daily, I've been finding them increasingly uncomfortable lately. However, I'm still not ready to give them up. I tested out a pair of"pyjama jeans" from River Island earlier this year, and couldn't believe just how comfy they were. And now I've found another pair that are potentially even comfier, while still looking like a normal pair of denim jeans. The style in question are the Halara Flex™ Asymmetric Low Rise Baggy Wide Leg Jeans, currently on sale for £39.95 down from £58.95. I hadn't heard too much about this brand before trying them out, but they actually have the Taylor Swift seal of approval. Taylor Swift made her first Coachella appearance in six years with her beau Travis Kelce in 2024 and was spotted wearing a TikTok viral £40 skirt. The Breezeful™ High Waisted Pleated 2-in-1 Side Pocket Skirt from Halara gained a huge cult following on TikTok last year thanks to its unusual garter detail. The brand is mostly known for its activewear and loungewear, so it's no suprise to seem them branching out into denim while keeping comfort at the forefront. When I first opened up the asymmetric jeans, I was a little skeptical as they felt so soft and stretchy, just like a pair of jogging bottoms, and so I was unsure if they would even look like jeans on. However, as I soon as I slipped into them I had my mind changed. They honestly looked just as good as other denim pieces I own, but felt ten times comfier. I also appreciated the asymmetric button detailing, as previous pyjama-style denim I've tried have kept it pretty simple with design details. But Halara has so many trendy styles to choose from in the Flex Range, from cargo-style jeans to maxi skirts and trendy corset waistcoats. My only criticims would be that the inside and outside button feel a little flimsy, like they could ping off easily. Despite this, however, I have worn the jeans multiple times and all buttons are still in tact. If you want to test out the OG "sweatpant jeans" Rag and Bone's Miramar Wide-Leg Jeans are available to shop on Selfridge's for £195. Alternatively, New Look has some Blue Drawstring Waist Denim Trousers for £26.99 that feel as comfy as trousers but have a denim-effect.

She revealed that everybody on her street got on, apart from her next-door neighbour at the time. Kathryn said her neighbour was a total nightmare to live with, tossing trash onto people's properties, making noise and shouting at people. The mum told people in the comments some of the ridiculous things her neighbour had done. "She said she was glad my dog died, tried to fight my 12-year-old daughter," she explained. The mum also said her neighbour was constantly throwing things over to her garden, like cigarette butts and would blast music as late as 5am. While the mum was stuck with a nightmare neighbour who made her life a misery, she didn't go down without a fight. Instead, she came up with a clever and sneaky way to get revenge. Like most of us, Kathryn had a swimming pool in the garden for warmer months. And when it was time to empty it, she would make sure the water ran into her neighbour's garden to ruin their lawn. Kate Lawler locked in bitter row with neighbour after controversial move - whose side are YOU on- She wrote: "Time to empty the pool into next door's garden. "This was last year and we have nice neighbours now." The clip has since gone viral on her TikTok account @kathrynoliver89 with over 820k views and 11k likes.

Meanwhile a fourth said: "What in the fridge and sofa outside the house with no carpets is going on here?" "I love evil,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "So this is how to get rid of horrible neighbours."
