A popular discontinued chocolate has returned to a hypermarket at a bargain price, sending fans into a frenzy and stocking up on the sweet.
Chocolate giants like Cadbury and Nestlé are no strangers to removing products from shelves, much to the dismay of their loyal fans.
And many will remember when Slough-based Mars Wrigley UK announced two years ago that its MilkyWay Crispy Rolls would no longer be available on shelves.
The chocolate bar is made up of crunchy cookies coated in Mars’ signature Milky Way cream and covered in milk chocolate.
In a statement to Sunsaid the corporation at the time: “Although Milky Way Crispy Rolls are currently in a galaxy far, far away, we are pleased to offer many delicious alternatives, including Milky Way Magic Stars, Maltesers, Mars and, of course, traditional Milky Way .
The chocolate bar is made up of crunchy cookies coated in Mars’ signature Milky Way cream and covered in milk chocolate.
“The love for Milky Way Crispy Rolls has been out of this world and we’ve certainly taken note.”
The product was first launched in 1994 in Germany and is believed to have arrived in the UK two years later in 1996.
Fans rejoiced after discovering a bargain store bought up stock of the beloved Crispy Rolls, two years after it was discontinued.
Home Bargains, which has over 500 stores across the UK, is now offering customers the chance to buy back their favorite chocolate bar.
The shop sells chocolate treats for just 99p for a box of six packs, containing two rolls each.
Its recommended retail price is usually £1.99, meaning fans can relive the nostalgia for £1 less than usual.
And shoppers were quick to spread the news of Milky Way chocolate’s return, taking to social media accounts to share photos of the sweet.
Others were quick to comment on the post, expressing their surprise and delight that it was back in stores.
One person on X, formerly known as Twitter, wrote: “Public Service Announcement The absolute (goat) is back at Home Bargains.”
She then shared an image of the vibrant chocolate bars, with their bright blue space-themed packaging.
Others were quick to comment on the post, expressing their surprise and delight that it was back in stores.
One wrote: “I’m running to Home Bargains.”
Another wrote: “This is possibly one of the best tweets of all time.” Home offers tomorrow, thanks.
A third wrote: “Ooooh I’ll have to go look tomorrow.”
A fourth commented: ‘I dreamed about this literally yesterday. Thank you Jesus!’
