Iconic 00s product back on supermarket shelves after 10 years away
Oasis is back, baggy jeans are cool, and Cher Horowitz will soon hit screens once more in a Clueless TV reboot — the 90s revival has officially reached its peak. But the cherry on top comes in alcopop form, as the Barcardi Breezer is making a comeback after 10 years away. The iconic drink – a fizzy concoction of Bacardi rum and fruit flavouring – was first launched in 1993, and quickly became a staple for young people. For a while, every student unions and sweaty nightclub dancefloor was a sea of brightly-coloured glass bottles, with punters lapping up the sweet, low-alcohol offering. As the years went by however, alcopops fell out of favour, and the Breezer was eventually discontinued in 2015. Millennials have been getting by on cocktail tinnies and BuzzBallz ever since, but Bacardi's announcement of a UK return offers a welcome taste of nostalgia. The new iteration of Breezer is now available in bars and stores nationwide, priced at £2 for a 275ml bottle. With a slightly lower alcohol content than before (3.4% compared to 4%) it comes in three familiar flavours: Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime and Crisp Watermelon. The bottle itself is familiar too, designed in the same signature shape by Bacardi in an effort to evoke 'happy memories of good times'. Following successful launches of a number of axed 90s favourites – from Hooch to Reef – it looks like the alcopop craze is being reignited once more.

'We know there is a lot of love for Breezer in the UK and we are confident a new generation of consumers will fall in love with the new Breezer,' said Steve Young, business unit director for Bacardi in the UK & Ireland. 'RTDs (ready-to-drink products) are booming, however, the FAB (flavoured alcoholic beverage) category could do with a bit more excitement. By bringing back Breezer, we're definitely putting the fruity taste into FAB. View More » 'The early response from our trade partners has been overwhelmingly positive.

A social media user also typed, 'I loved this movie as a child, but can we create original movies?' and one penned, 'Not sure how I feel about this, but you know I'll watch it.' However, others expressed their excitement over the sequel series with a fan writing, 'I will be getting that peacock subscription.' Another added, 'I'm honestly excited.

During a past interview with Vogue in 2023, Silverstone reflected on her initial reaction to the character of Cher - a wealthy Beverly Hills high school student. 'I found Cher on the page to be materialistic and unappealing. And really annoying, to be honest,' the actress told the outlet. 'But I realized that was just me judging her. Once I started working on her I found all the heart and all the love.' She looked great in the one piece and sliders Clueless was a box office success upon its release in theaters and also garnered positive reviews from critics. The movie raked in $88 million on a budget of $12 million. In regards to the leap of fame Alicia experienced due to the film's success, the star admitted that it had been 'really intense.' The Crush actress added, 'I didn't expect any of the reaction that we got. It was a lot, and I think if anything it all pushed me away from doing this job for a while and got me so much more into my activism. 'I eventually found my love of acting again, but at the time I didn't know anything about what I was stepping into.'

Millennials rejoice as Clueless star set to reprise lead role in TV reboot
Peacock is developing a Clueless sequel series based on the cult classic film — and a fan-favorite star is returning along with it. The 1995 film's lead actor, Alicia Silverstone, will reprise her role as Cher Horowitz and also executive produce the series. Also returning from the film are writer-director Amy Heckerling and producer Robert Lawrence, both of whom will executive produce along with Silverstone. The Peacock series will be written and executive produced by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage of Fake Empire Productions — the company behind the original and reboot of Gossip Girl — as well as Jordan Weiss, who created the series Dollface for Hulu. Clueless, loosely based on Jane Austen's 1815 novel Emma, followed popular California high schooler Cher Horowitz. She strives to do good, playing matchmaker for her teachers and offering a makeover to a new student. But she's also forced to look inward — something she's not quite used to as a 'clueless,' shallow teen. Since its debut three decades ago, Clueless has retained a cult following, especially among Millennials who grew up with the film. Clueless has already been turned into a TV series once, and ran for three seasons from 1996-1999, as well as a musical on London's West End. Many of the film's original stars also appeared in that first TV series, with the exception of Silverstone. Now, she's back — and fans are thrilled. 'We will be watching!' one person wrote on X. 'Thank goodness I've been waiting forever for this. So happy!' another gushed. Others have shared their hopes that the series will also include Stacey Dash, who played Dionne Marie Davenport in the original film and in the first TV show. Dash was then the focus of another spin-off series that Peacock was developing several years ago, but it didn't pan out. 'Have to bring Stacey back too though if I'll be watching,' a fan demanded on X. But some fans have been quick to point out that a big part of the original film will be missing. 'It won't be the same without Brittany Murphy,' one fan wrote. Murphy, who played Tai Frasier in the original film, died suddenly in 2009 at the age of 32. Her death was officially ruled an accident, caused by pneumonia, anemia, and multiple drug intoxication. 'I hope it's good, but it can never be the same,' another shared with a GIF of Murphy from the original film. And while the plot for the new series hasn't been revealed, fans are already speculating it might include Cher in a new era of life. 'I wonder if Cher will be a mom? She was great playing Julie as a mom in the Valley Girl reboot. No Brittany Murphy tho will b sad,' one fan ruminated. Another had specific demands for the show's developers: 'Stacey Dash, Paul Rudd, Donald Faison, Eliza Donovan and Breckin Meyer ... and a homage to Brittany Murphy no dice!'
