McVitie's fans 'need' to try new Digestives flavour 'now'
If you're a fan of McVitie's Digestive biscuits, you're in for a treat as the brand prepares to launch a new edition of one of its much-loved snacks. The plain Digestive was first produced in 1892 and has gone on to see numerous adaptions – most notably the Chocolate Digestive – as well Caramel and Gold Bar versions in more recent times.
Now, the Digestive has taken on a new form and after an image of its packet was shared to Instagram, foodies admitted they can't wait to tuck in. The account, UK's Newest Foods divulged: "PINK Raspberry & Cream flavour Digestives coming soon to Sainsbury's RRP £2.35." McVitie's say the new product is part of the 100th anniversary celebrations of Chocolate Digestives and is a "fruity reinvention, now topped with a smooth raspberry and cream flavour coating."
Snack lovers may be sad to learn the biscuits will only be on the shelves for a limited time only, however, as McVitie's added in a mouth-watering product description: "Bringing a burst of colour into the biscuit world, McVitie's is putting a fruity spin on its iconic range with the launch of the limited-edition McVitie's Pink Digestives Raspberry & Cream Flavour.
"The McVitie's production lines are now baking perfectly pink biscuits. Each biscuit is a golden-baked Digestive topped with a luscious raspberry and cream-flavour coating, bringing together nostalgic flavours in a fun, fruity and irresistibly moreish bite."
"Whether you're enjoying the summer of sport, a biscuit break with friends or looking to perk up a sunny picnic, McVitie's Pink Digestives are the seasons' ultimate sweet treat."
Writing in response to the Instagram post, hungry Brits highlighted its resemblance to another iconic biscuit as they admitted they couldn't wait to snap them up and scoff them down.
"I need these now!" one person declared. "All my dreams have come true!"
A second pondered: "If these taste like Pink Panther biscuits, oh my God." A third added: "I used to love pink wafers as a kid!"
Whilst a fourth person declared: "I can't wait to see this in stores here in London."
Benazir Barlet-Batada, Marketing Director at McVitie's, said: "As we continue to celebrate 100 years of McVitie's Chocolate Digestives, we wanted to mark the next chapter in our history by reinventing the nation's favourite. Fun, fresh and packed with fruity flavour, the new Pink Digestives are designed to delight devoted Digestives fans and foodies alike."
Last month saw some of London's most famous landmarks illuminated with dazzling light projections to celebrate the anniversary, meanwhile. The lastminute.com London Eye was transformed into a towering tribute, showcasing a jaw-dropping 360-degree rotating projection of the beloved biscuit.
And Tower Bridge joined the festivities with a vibrant showreel of fireworks, balloons, and confetti.
The ambitious projections required eight weeks of meticulous planning and precision mapping to align the visuals perfectly with each landmark, using advanced hologauze and projection technology.

Tyson and Paris Fury ‘terrified' after plane is forced to land after wedding
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Tyson Fury and his family were left 'terrified' after the plane they were travelling on was forced to land due to an emergency issue with the aircraft. The retired heavyweight boxer was travelling with his wife, Paris, and their seven children after the couple had a wedding ceremony for the third time, 17 years after they first got married. Tyson took to Instagram to share the harrowing experience, recounting how a 'problem with one of the wings' on the plane meant it had to turn around after travelling just 100 miles. He said: 'So, we've travelled 100 miles on the plane and the captain's come over to me and said 'we've got to turn this plane around because there's a problem with one of the wings and it won't fix on the computer so we gotta try and get back and turn around.'' He said: 'Talk about totally sh***ing yourself. So we're now spinning the plane around and going back to the airport where we started. Terrifying.' Tyson captioned the video simply 'bad news.' The Gypsy King, 37, posted the update just a day after marrying his wife, Paris, 35, for a third time, surrounded by the couple's children. The pair were first married in 2008 when she was just 19 years old and he was 21. They have since renewed their vows on one other occasion in April 2013 in New York City. Taking to social media, Tyson wrote of the romantic day at Saint-Martin-Saint-Augustin Church in France: 'Paris Fury and I got married again; third time lucky. We had the most beautiful day in the South of France, it holds a lot of special memories for us.' The couple have seven children together: sons Prince John James, 13, Prince Tyson II, nine, Prince Adonis Amaziah, six, and Prince Rico, two, and daughters Venezuela, 15, Valencia, seven, and Athena, four. Paris wore a white lace dress while Tyson wore a cream shirt, white shorts, and sandals. The couple's children also dressed up for the occasion, sons Prince John James, Prince Tyson II, Prince Adonis Amaziah, and Prince Rico wearing matching suits while daughters Venezuela, Valencia, and Athena matched their mom in white dresses. Paris and Tyson, who are both Irish Traveller descent and were raised in Traveller communities, met at a wedding of a mutual friend when she was 15 and he was 18, before marrying in 2009. More Trending Speaking about renewing their vows in January of this year, Paris told OK!: 'I don't want a big ceremony or a big wedding, I'd like something private with just me and him. 'It'll be nice to reaffirm our vows. If he had his way he'd have it like a circus – a whole Big Fat Gypsy Wedding again! But I think I'll go subtle.'

Love Is Blind UK star storms off show & says ‘get this mic off me' after branding co-star ‘disrespectful' in fiery rant
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Is Blind UK has had a very dramatic start with one star storming off after being branded "disrespectful" by their co-star. Emma and Matt Willis returned to host the second series, as the pods opened for 30 new singletons to try their luck at finding someone to marry. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Love Is Blind UK star Sophie stormed off the show after a furious rant Credit: Netflix 4 The contestant was left in floods of tears after she branded Kieran 'disrespectful' Credit: Netflix 4 Sophie confessed she's never been in love despite her recent five year relationship Credit: Instagram Gaming entrepreneur Kieran, 30, made an impression on two girls in particular, Megan and Sophie. But he quickly confessed that his head was "in a bit of a pickle" as he struggled to decide between the two. In a bold move, Kieran decided to leave Megan a personal gift, but that didn't sit well with rival Sophie. She later confronted him and slammed him for being "disrespectful" and "really rude". An annoyed Sophie said: "Your actions have made your intentions very clear." Kieran responded: "I have made a strong connection elsewhere." Sophie fired back: "I bring a lot to the table, I want to be with someone that sees that." She continued: "I wouldn't do that to you because it's a s*** feeling. "If you truly cared about how I felt you wouldn't have put me in that position. "I'm a prize, like I'm a catch and on the outside world you would see that so I'm not here to beg you to love me." Love Is Blind UK star leaves viewers 'feeling physically sick' as he details his VERY unique job Getting increasingly upset, Sophie exited the pod and tearfully said: "I just feel I'm done now." She was then seen storming off and exclaimed: "F*** this, someone needs to get this mic off me." Kieran ended up choosing Megan and they got engaged, but it was teased at the end of episode four that Sophie will come back for a cast mixer and stir up trouble with another man. Manchester-based Sophie, 28, admitted she's been single since her five-year relationship ended last year, but doesn't think she's ever been in love. Netflix teased: "Sophie admits she can be confrontational but thinks her over-protective dad and four brothers could be the reason she's still single. "She's most attracted to men who can stand up for themselves and won't let her walk all over them." Elsewhere, one contestant caught the attention of fans thanks to his unique life path. While introducing himself to singer Aanu, Patrick Justus revealed that he was a human design coach. Explaining it was "like a lifecoach but using a system called spiritual design', Patrick's biggest mantra in life was to "trust your spleen", noting that "splenic energy" was a bigger force than a gut instinct. Speaking in the pods to potential match Yolanda, Patrick said that he follows his spleen "literally to the second", later adding: "Listening to my spleen is the best way to find the love of his life." While it didn't win over Yolanda or another hopeful, Catherine, the idea intrigued singer Aanu, who sparked a connection with him. But viewers were left baffled by his continued discussion of his spleen in conversation – with some left turned off by the chat, despite finding Patrick charming, saying it made them feel ill. "I loveee Patrick, do you know how nice you have to be for me to ignore the fact you keep mentioning your spleen??" wrote one on X (formerly Twitter). "Please the word 'spleen' is just making me cringe and feel physically sick. How many times are we going to have to hear this nonsense" said a second. "This bloke and his damn SPLEEN, his spleen should have told him to stay home," said a third.
