Cadbury's ‘best' chocolate that's only sold for a few months each year is back
One of the 'best' items the brand sells is hands down the Creme Egg, which is typically only available for the first few months of the year, launching after Christmas and disappearing after Easter.
Filled with a gooey white and yellow fondant centre, the chocolate egg comes in both milk and white chocolate versions and is an Spring staple. This year it hit supermarket shelves in January, but was axed from supermarkets in the UK at the end of April.
However, if you've been missing the sugary treat, there's good news as it's currently for sale in Costco and unsurprisingly, the wholesale retailer is selling the chocolate in bulk, so you'll definitely be able to get your fix (and then some).
Those with a Costco membership card can head down to their nearest Costco warehouse and grab a box of 48 Cadbury Creme Eggs.
The store is selling boxes of milk chocolate ones and boxes of the white chocolate ones for £19.99 each (£23.98 including VAT).
Many will likely be thrilled to get their hands on the product once again, as they've been hailed as 'the best', 'a classic', 'a childhood favourite' and 'delicious' by Cadbury fans on Reddit.
One person even loved them so much, they rated them a '700/10', which is particularly bold.
There are 29 Costco warehouses around the UK, with discounts on everything from toiletries and groceries to petrol and big-ticket tech.
You can't just walk in and start shopping though. Only certain professions can apply for in-store membership (priced from £33.60 per year).
Alongside business owners, qualifying roles include the likes of local government, banking, medicine, education, or the police.
But even if you don't fall into one of these categories, you may still be able to get in on the savings.
According to MSE, AA, RAC and National Trust Members are also eligible to join at certain locations – including Birmingham, Sheffield and Cardiff.
There is a catch with this kind of membership, though. You can only shop at the location you joined. Once you get the go-ahead, however, all you have to do is show the relevant info at the membership counter and shop 'til you drop.
If Creme Eggs aren't for you, don't worry as Cadbury also has a few new items launching that might be more up your street and these will be available more widely in supermarkets across the UK.
The brand recently announced they'd be launching colour-changing Dairy Milk chocolate bars this summer, as well as a brand new flavour.
A new Iced Latte Dairy Milk will be available in June, which combines smooth coffee cream, biscuit pieces and the classic taste of Cadbury chocolate. More Trending
But what's particularly interesting about this new product isn't the flavours – it's the packaging.
That's because the chocolate bar comes in a temperature-activated packet, which visually transforms when it is chilled.
Yes, that's right, in a somewhat unexpected move, Cadbury is actively encouraging people to put their chocolate bars in the fridge.
In addition to the iced coffee-inspired new chocolate bar, Cadbury will be adding the colour-changing wrappers to regular Dairy Milk chocolate, so there will be four-limited edition bars available as well. These are all part of a range they are calling 'Cadbury Dairy Milk Chilled'.

Walmart shoppers confused by sign from store's manager
By Shoppers are unsure what to make of a sign urging Walmart workers to speak with a manager before quitting their jobs. A Kansas-based employee shared the sign in a Reddit post — telling his co-workers to 'Stop! Don't Leave!' their jobs. Potentially posted by the store manager, the sign reads that the location believes in a 'no-quit philosophy', but shoppers who saw the sign said it would make them want to leave if they were employed by Walmart. 'I think this beats out the "we are a family here" as biggest red flag,' a shopper wrote on the Reddit post . 'If I was a new hire and saw that I would immediately be looking for a new job,' a shopper responded. 'This is giving "toxic abusive narcissistic partner refuses to accept the fact that you are breaking up with them,"' another person commented. Walmart has been the target of fierce backlash for decisions that affect customers — including the addition of new AI technology and the increasing usage of electronic shelf labels . Company employees have called out the chain for its avalanche of price hikes resulting from tariffs — but they're also speaking up about what they claim are their negative work environments. 'I once had a coach who told my department during a huddle that everyone was replaceable. I think in their mind they were trying to be motivating. 'But that had the opposite effect on me,' an employee admitted on Reddit. 'I do my job to the best of my ability everyday and still get yelled at because metrics are terrible. They are more concerned about metrics than listening to their associates on the floor.' 'My store manager was the specific reason that I left. The guy straight up told me he had me passed up on a promotion because of his personal opinion of me. This is hilarious at best,' a worker added. 'I was begged to not quit on the spot once too. I walked out anyway. QUIT! Or better yet, unionize!,' another commenter responded. Others claimed they left Walmart on good terms — believing their decision to quit was 'one of the best' of their lives. 'Walmart is a great way to work during HS/College, retiring, or a second job, temporarily, but for it to be your career the chances of getting somewhere are very slim,' a former employee claimed. Others said, however, that managers 'didn't try and stop them' from walking out, and a few ex-employees revealed their managers helped them rewrite their resumes. Besides issues with rising costs and technology changes, consumers have also not been able to stay silent on store upgrades — including the placement of 'ridiculous' products in plexiglass cases . The changes came after the retailer became a prime target for shoplifters . Despite this, the company has worked to make sure it maintains customer satisfaction, doing things like revamping 650 locations and entering a partnership with Medicare Advantage .

Tour operator TUI beats quarterly forecasts, boosts outlook
FRANKFURT/LONDON, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Europe's largest tour operator TUI ( opens new tab beat quarterly earnings and revenue forecasts on Wednesday as summer travel proved more resilient and investments and bookings ahead of the winter season allowed it to raise its full-year outlook. TUI raised its full-year profit guidance on Tuesday, after strong hotel and cruise demand boosted the business in the first nine months of its year ending September 30, sending shares up. Detailing its third-quarter results on Wednesday, TUI reported underlying earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of 321 million euros ($375 million) in the quarter ended June 30, up 38% year-on-year and ahead of the 269 million euros expected by analysts polled by LSEG. Revenue across all segments rose 7% to 6.2 billion euros, slightly ahead of analysts' forecasts. The group's shares were up more than 2% in early trading. European airlines broadly performed well during the second quarter as a drop in travel demand proved less pronounced than feared and appeared to have had a limited impact on results. The core summer season travel used to drive a big part of airlines' revenue, but some of that demand is shifting as travellers look to escape heat and crowds and look for deals in spring and autumn. TUI Chief Executive Sebastian Ebel said bookings, particularly among British customers, remained robust. "The third quarter and the first nine months of the financial year 2025 were strong. Our strategy is paying off," Ebel said in a statement on Wednesday, highlighting its strategy to diversify its offering across Central Europe and Asia and to invest more in hotels and cruises. TUI is also confident about upcoming winter bookings as it sees a marked increase in interest in "shoulder season" travel, meaning holidays booked in late October, November and spilling into the Christmas season in December. To capitalise on the rise in demand for travel outside of the summer season, the company was investing in upgrades, such as heated pools in year-round destinations including Antalya, the Greek Islands and Algarve in Portugal, Ebel told journalists on Wednesday. The company acknowledged that the environment for its airlines business remained difficult, noting weaknesses, particularly among German consumers and in bookings for U.S. destinations. In the previous quarter, TUI had flagged a slight drop in summer bookings, amid concerns that inflation and economic worries could weaken travel demand. While there was a 2% decline in summer bookings tied to the Middle East conflict, ticket prices were up 3%, helping to balance out higher costs, according to a media presentation. European travellers, making up the core base of TUI's customers, tend to be more price-sensitive than North American travellers. German bookings fell 5% due to hot weather, Ebel told reporters, but said he expected more customers in the autumn. "There are people who really think, 'I'll stay in my garden, during the summer, and I'll go on vacation in October, November,'" Ebel said. ($1 = 0.8559 euros)

Rachel Reeves should be brave and raise income tax
The Chancellor Rachel Reeves is having trouble making the numbers add up. The deficit just keeps getting worse. The public sector unions are demanding more money and Labour backbenchers are protesting that cuts are unacceptable. Meanwhile, the bond markets are insisting that borrowing has reached its limit. Still, never mind. It seems that Reeves is cooking up a clever wheeze to get herself out of a tight spot with a raid on inheritance and capital gains tax. There is just one snag: it is very unlikely to work. Has the Chancellor learnt nothing from the catastrophe of her first Budget? Whether it is £30 billion, £40 billion, or even £50 billion, it does not really matter. It is clear that by the autumn Reeves will have to raise a lot of extra revenue. With a promise not to raise income tax, VAT, or employee's National Insurance, she is scrabbling around for something to fill the 'black hole'. According to reports today, she has decided on one answer. She will tighten the rules on inheritance tax so that people can no longer give away assets seven years before they die tax-free. And she will increase Capital Gains Tax (CGT), potentially making it equal to income tax. Either will mostly be paid by the people 'with the broadest shoulders'. Problem solved. Here's the catch, though. Just like her first Budget, a set of badly designed, fiddly taxes on 'wealth' will end up backfiring on her. A lifetime limit on gifts will be hugely unpopular, with every Christmas present you give to your children being monitored by HMRC. Just like the row over scrapping the winter fuel allowance, the backlash this will generate will most likely mean it has to be scrapped within months, and it will hardly raise any cash. At the same time, pushing up the rate of CGT will simply drive entrepreneurs abroad, just as her raid on the non-doms has done. Even worse, given that CGT is basically a voluntary levy – it only becomes due when you sell an asset – a 45 per cent rate will lead to lower revenues while making the UK even more unattractive to investors than it already is. Just as seriously, by flagging the tax rises, Reeves is encouraging people to give away their money now, or sell their assets before the rate increases. This also happened when she threatened higher levies in advance of introducing them last year. Given that the Labour government wants to increase public spending significantly, Reeves should be honest about it and add 2 per cent to the basic rate, as well as the higher rates, of income tax. Instead, she keeps trying to find a clever way out of the corner she has boxed herself into, and it keeps going wrong. Her first Budget was a catastrophe – and it now looks certain that her second one will be just as bad.
