Cadbury Twirl White Dipped compared to noughties Flake Snow
A limited-edition Cadbury chocolate bar has led shoppers on a hunt to find them after being compared to a discontinued treat from more than 15 years ago.
The new Twirl White Dipped went on sale earlier this month, and shoppers have been looking everywhere to find it in the UK.
Morrisons, Co-op, Home Bargains and B&M are selling the popular bar – but only in select shops for a limited time.
When shoppers did get their hands on it, they were quick to take to social media to praise its taste and similarities to a discontinued favourite from the late noughties.
Is a Twirl just a Flake dipped in chocolate?
Long has been the debate that Twirls are similar to Cadbury's famous Flake chocolate bar – but now the comparison has heightened for a different reason.
The Twirl White Dipped was being compared to Cadbury's Flake Snow even before it hit the shelves.
Cadbury's Flake Snow chocolate bar was first launched in the UK back in 2000.
The bar had a crumbly white chocolate flake inside, covered in milk chocolate.
But it only lasted eight years in the UK, with Cadbury revealing in 2008 the chocolate bar had been discontinued.
Cadbury Twirl White Dipped – shoppers react online
Taking to Facebook foodie groups, shoppers were quick to share where they had picked up a Twirl, at what price and if it had similarities with Flake Snow.
'Limited edition Cadbury twirl white 85p spotted at B&M,' one person wrote.
'Does it taste like a Flake Snow? Yes it does,' another said.
One person commented: 'It's like a Flake Snow in reverse!'
Another added: Wow, these are outstanding - closest bar you'll ever get to a Cadbury Snowflake!"

'Not bad but definitely not as good as Flake Snow was," another wrote.
Others commented about the chocolate's taste, saying: 'These were amazing!"
'They are divine' and 'Found mine, I love them – so delicious.'

Linen shirts are a staple in the summer because they can be paired with almost everything, including denim cut-offs, jeans, shirts and dresses - or as a beach cover-up.

It is ordered in sizes 6-22, with availability depending on which hue shoppers pick - there's also regular and petite lengths. Rochelle styles the stone-coloured shirt with a brown bikini top and denim cut-offs for a poolside-ready look. Linen is all over the high street this summer, and there are alternatives to Next's shirt. For brighter printed options, look to H&M, where this black botanical printed shirt is £37.99. The brand describes it as a 'loose-fit shirt in an airy linen', choose from sizes extra, extra small to extra, extra large. Meanwhile, M&S is selling a pure linen Oversized Girlfriend Style Shirt for £39.50. It comes in sizes 6-24. The model pairs it over a cream swimsuit for a holiday look. Next's linen shirt has stellar reviews and ratings from shoppers. One shopper who bought the linen shirt in white said: "This shirt is a perfect summer shirt—loose, light, and cool. As with most white linen, it is slightly see-through but definitely not too revealing. It's perfect for me worn open or buttoned over a cami top." Another added: "Lovely quality white linen shirt. Ideal for throwing on over a top and shorts or wearing with leggings or trousers. Versatile item, I should get plenty of wear out of." Prospective buyers who have never ordered anything online from Next can find reviews and ratings of its delivery service on Trustpilot. One reviewer commented: "Easy to order, swiftly delivered. Exactly what I ordered did arrive. Perfect." Another had issues with their delivery, saying: "Wouldn't confirm the name of the recipient for my order and delivered on a different day to what was requested." Back to the product reviews, a buyer of the linen shirt in navy said: "Really nice navy linen shirt with contrasting buttons. I normally wear a size 12 but this was far too big so I sized down to a 10 and this fits really nicely." The shopper did have a gripe with the length, adding: "A bit long in the arm but still worth it. Lovely colour. Good quality. Very happy."
