Shoppers will be rushing to their nearest supermarket to grab the brand’s new Tropical chew bar.
The new Refreshers bar, featuring mango and pineapple flavours, is available in stores now.
The sought-after treat was posted to the popular Food Finds UK Official Facebook group.
The post received likes and comments from sweet fans eager to get their hands on Swizzels’ new treat.
“Can’t wait to try,” one user wrote.
Another added: “OMG yesss, I need.”
“These look like they will taste amazing,” a third commented.
While a fourth simply said: “Yummy.”
Shoppers will be able to snap up the Tropical flavoured Refresher for just a mere 20p in stores.
It comes after B&M slashed the price of giant tubs of nostalgic childhood sweets to just £1.
And new flavours of Haribo sweets have hit the shelves in Lidl – and shoppers are loving them.
What other sweet treats have launched recently?
This isn’t the only sweet snack that has hit supermarket shelves in recent months.
Asda shoppers spotted a new Squashies flavour ahead of Valentine’s Day.
They looked like the classic foam Squashies but with the romantic messages and emojis you find on Love Hearts sweets.
Meanwhile, B&M shoppers found three brand new flavours in the Poppets Hot Chocolate Sachets range.
The Minty, Salted Caramel, and Orangy flavours sent snack finders into a frenzy.
Retro sweet lovers were also stunned to find an iconic sweet from the 80s had made a return.
Opal Fruits, which were rebranded as Starburst in 1998, can now be found at major supermarkets again.
Top discontinued products
Here are our top discontinued snacks – including picks from our team…
Fabulous Bakin’ Boys Cupcakes
Consumer reporter Emily Mee says: “It was always a good day when I spotted these in my lunchbox at school. Putting a layer of chocolate on top of a vanilla cupcake is a simple idea but a genius one. I would pay good money to try these again…”
Ready Salted Chipsticks
Head of Consumer Tara Evans says: “Ready Salted Chipsticks. Why did they get rid of this classic flavour? Some people think ready salted is boring – but why mess with a classic? I often feel taunted when I see the salt and vinegar version in shops.”
Coco Pops Rocks
Consumer news editor Ellie Smitherman says: “No idea whose bright idea it was to get rid of these, but it was possibly one of the worst moves in cereal history. Coco Pops Straws, too! If I had known the last time I’d have one would be the last time, I’d have savoured it far more.”
Tooti Frooties
Senior consumer reporter James Flanders says: “Tooty Frooties were a chewy blast of childhood joy. Scrapped after 50 years, they were Britain’s alternative to Skittles – and in an age obsessed with nostalgia, bringing them back just makes sense. Lots of dupes can be picked up at budget supermarkets but they just don’t taste the same.”
White Maltesers
While the milk chocolate version is still going strong, White Chocolate Maltesers were pulled from shelves in 2014. Mars said it was a “difficult decision” at the time, and fans still post comments on its social media pages calling for it to come back.
Heinz Toast Toppers
Out of all the discontinued products, this is one of the ones we see the most calls for to come back. The creamy cans came in a variety of flavours like chicken and mushroom or cheese and ham. They were binned in 2015 after delighting shoppers for decades.
Cadbury Spira
Another of the regular calls we see is for the Cadbury Spira to return. The chocolate featured twin bars in each pack, which were formed into a spiral shape, with six hollow tubes running through each one.
