'I might do a taste test between the UK version vs the Australian version,' another wrote.
'That dream bar with raspberry chunks sounds naughty,' added a third.
'I guess it would be a bit like the jelly, popping candy bar they do? Except with Cola. Hmmm might have to keep an eye out for this,' someone replied.
But the unique flavours proved divisive and some were sceptical about the 'strange' sweet treat.
'Ok this needs to be tried! Because cola and chocolate I'm not suuurree,' one shopper said.
'I don't know how I feel about this,' a second agreed.
'Might get stick for this but Marvellous Creations is probably the worst thing Dairy Milk have ever come out with,' confessed another.
'Sweepings off the floor. Terrible idea,' someone quipped.
A B&M worker chimed in to remind customers not all stores will get Marvellous Creations delivered at the same time and some might have to wait until they are in stock at their nearest location.
They also pointed out some smaller stores may not stock the Aussie confectionery at all.

Aussie Shore star gets his bottom tattooed to celebrate his 'pride' over becoming Bonnie Blue's 1069th 'body' - and the adult performer responds
Harrison Quinero has celebrated becoming the 1069th man to sleep with adult performer Bonnie Blue. The Aussie Shore star marked the occasion by getting his bottom tattooed with Blue's name and his number in her list of 'bodies'. He proudly showed off the new ink in a video shared to Instagram Stories on Wednesday. 'There's certain special moments in life that you gotta commemorate with a tattoo, and I think is one of them,' the 20-something-year-old said. He then turned his back to the camera, dropped his jeans and debuted the fresh tattoo. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the 'I'm really proud of this achievement, to be Bonnie Blue's 1069th body. I really hope she sees this,' Harrison went on. 'Bonnie, I just want to say thank you very much for the experience.' His wish was granted - Harrison later shared Bonnie's response to the ink on social media. Posting to her own Instagram Stories, the OnlyFans star re-posted Harrison's clip and added a caption that read, 'No way!' She also sent Harrison a direct message, writing, 'I love it!' and adding a heart-eyes emoji. It's unclear when Harrison had the encounter with the high-profile adult entertainer. The porn star recently filmed her romp with 1000 men, which is also seen in her new documentary, 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story. Bonnie - real name Tia Billinger - has caused controversy in recent months for her sexual antics, including when she claimed that she had slept with 1,057 men in one day. His wish was granted - Harrison later shared Bonnie's response to the ink on social media Channel 4 announced that they had commissioned the documentary back in May. Director Victoria Silver said: 'Bonnie Blue refuses to conform to public opinion and lives life by her own rules. 'At a time when factual TV is awash with retrospective stories, I wanted to capture the energy of a live and evolving story, with a woman at the heart of it who's living her life in such a bold way.' Harrison will appear in an upcoming season of reality series Aussie Shore. He has been slated as the cast member likely to bring the most controversy. A stripper and professional wrestler, Harrison has been branded the bad boy you can't help but love. He has recently suffered a fresh heartbreak after his girlfriend allegedly cheated on him, and he's ready to let loose in a big way. 'Harrison is pure, unscripted chaos,' an insider told Daily Mail Australia. 'He doesn't hold back and he's bound to make waves in the house.'

EIF opera Orpheus and Eurydice to feature 'acrobats doing very dangerous things'
If you think opera staging is mannered and boring, wait until you see this production of Orpheus and Eurydice, writes Ken Walton Sign up to our Arts and Culture newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to The Scotsman, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Yaron Lifschitz has serious issues with opera. 'Some of it is excruciating,' he declares, which you'd reckon should worry the pants off the Edinburgh International Festival. After all, the affable founder and director of the Australian contemporary circus group Circa is the mastermind behind this year's flagship opera production of Gluck's Orpheus and Eurydice, and here he is, revealing his 'dirty secret – that I've no knowledge of Debussy past 20 minutes of Pelléas et Mélisande because I've never remained awake long enough to hear it. I get bored very easily.' The thing is, it's not so much opera that's the problem as its mannered traditions, Lifschitz argues. 'Opera at its core is a covers band, people doing other people's music, singing in a way they were told to sing, about stuff they were told to do with a great apparatus and significant amount of funding, devoted to essentially keeping the art fairly sclerotic, inured to change. It's not the operas that are boring, but the lack of compelling ways to do them.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Orpheus and Eurydice Received wisdom, he suggests, has stifled instinct. 'I love working on Monteverdi, for instance, and one of the things I used to ask was, how could there be a set way of singing this if it was the first of its kind? Back in the 17th century it would just have been people who sang as they felt inclined, so maybe we should just go back to that rather than everyone sounding like they went to the same academy for stifling joy and creativity. I have to say I was howled down by a bunch of people who'd been to that academy and in some cases ran it.' So yes, Lifschitz is a maverick, an inquisitive free spirit who has nonetheless proved his worth in imaginative cross-genre productions that challenge the norm, including this collaborative Orpheus and Eurydice. Unveiled in Brisbane in 2019, this summer's European premiere production at the Edinburgh Playhouse draws together the original combined resources of Circa and Opera Queensland with Opera Australia, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Scottish Opera Chorus, conducted by period music specialist Laurence Cummings. That Gluck himself was a reforming phenomenon, freeing 18th century opera of its stilted affectations and even adapting his most famous opera to suit opposing Viennese and Parisian tastes, clearly appealed to Lifschitz, and needless to say, he's taken brazen liberties. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The traditional frontline cast of three has been reduced to two, the role of Eurydice (Australian/British soprano Samantha Clarke) now conflated with that of Amor. The first sighting of Orpheus (countertenor Iestyn Davies) is in an asylum. 'My basic interpretation of the piece is that on their wedding night Eurydice dies, possibly at Orpheus's hands,' Lifschitz explains. Orpheus and Eurydice 'I'm not suggesting any ill will. Maybe they took the wrong substances to celebrate their wedding night; he wakes up in a mental institution and has no recollection of what happened. It becomes a process of memory, journeying into the Underworld. Every woman looks like her, every man is an extension of him and it probably doesn't end well. I don't want to give a spoiler, but it's opera: generally she dies, and he might.' What then of Circa's circus performers, whose virtuosic acrobatics – devised jointly by Lifschitz and fellow choreographer Bridie Hooper – provide an aligned counterpoint to the entire piece? They are, says the director, essential to his 'poetic' vision of the opera, part of 'a constant play with foregrounding and backgrounding' that respects both the polished classicism of Gluck's piece and its emotional volatility, 'that mixture of hope and fear that reminds us we're alive'. 'Working with the artists back in Brisbane on the physical embodiment of the production, the thing I keep coming back to is you have to feel a lot and show very little. Sometimes it just oozes out, sometimes the floodgates open and explode into acrobatics, but then it very quickly turns back into its classical form.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Of course, that's just the circus contingent. Is Lifschitz also expecting his singing cast to turn cartwheels? Opera Australia; Orpheus + Eurydice; Dress Rehearsal; JST; January 2024 'We're putting very experienced opera singers in fairly uncomfortable and difficult positions, very close to acrobats doing very complex and dangerous things,' he admits. How does that go down with Iestyn Davies, appearing in his first ever staged Orpheus? 'I've watched a video of the original production and know that late on in the show I have to stand on someone's shoulders,' says the English countertenor, who will eventually join the troupe for a final nine days of rehearsal. 'The biggest challenge for any singer in such a physical show is getting the breathing worked out.' Working with new people is healthy for the production, Lifschitz believes. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Every staging is different. They're all based on the same choreography, the same ideas, but when only half the artists have performed this production before – as in Edinburgh – you use that opportunity to freshen things up.' Is there one thing he'd like audiences to take away from this Orpheus? 'That's something I've thought about very carefully,' he says. 'Circa brings a show to the Fringe every year – this year we're bringing Wolf – and we have a specific following. But for an International Festival production like this I feel we have to appeal to two different audiences simultaneously. 'I'd like an opera audience to come along and think 'Wow, this is so alive', where the operatic norms of music meeting dramaturgy exceed and challenge expectations. And I'd love circus audiences to go and sense that this is richer, touches bigger emotions, moves them even more profoundly than straight circus. I want everyone to walk out of the performance at the end of the day and think it would be difficult to figure this opera any other way.

When you come out of Orpheus you may love it, you may hate it, but you won't be bored.'

Strictly's Dianne Buswell shares 'right time' update about baby plans with boyfriend Joe Sugg
Dianne Buswell and Joe Sugg have been a couple since they competed on Strictly Come Dancing together in 2018, and the loved-up pair have often spoken about their future together Dianne Buswell has delivered a six-word update regarding her baby plans with boyfriend Joe Sugg. The smitten duo have been romantically linked since they linked up on Strictly Come Dancing in 2018. The pair reached the competition's finale, though Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton ultimately claimed the coveted Glitterball Trophy. Yet once the series wrapped, Dianne reveals she and Joe, 33, discovered they yearned for each other's company. Romance quickly flourished between them, before they moved in together the following year. By 2021, they had purchased their own property together. This progression has sparked fan speculation about potential nuptials and even the possibility of expanding their family. Dianne has previously mentioned the couple are "playing their marriage by ear". The 36 year old has now provided an insight into the duo's family aspirations during a chat with Prima magazine, revealing: "We've always wanted kids, it's just finding the right time," reports Wales Online. "I don't feel worried about taking time out from dancing, I just don't see the point in worrying. When everything aligns, it will happen. I have to have that vision. I like to practise manifestation, I'm quite spiritual." Previously, Dianne disclosed that whilst she meticulously organises her professional life, she adopts a more relaxed approach to her romantic future with Joe. She confessed: "I plan my work a lot, but that's probably as far as I go with planning. I'm quite an unorganised person actually. "Joe and I don't really talk about that kind of thing. We're both so relaxed so we just play it by ear. We really enjoy each other's company so much and whatever happens, happens." The Aussie dancer has been dropping hints to Joe about her readiness to tie the knot. This comes after Chris McCausland, who triumphed on Strictly with Dianne last year, made a cheeky yet pointed remark regarding her ring finger. In a chat about fingers, Dianne gestured to her ring finger and quizzed: "What's that one, your best friend finger?" which prompted Chris to jest: "It's the one Joe's done nothing with." Dianne agreed with a playful retort: "Exactly, we need to remind Joe what that finger holds. That finger is feeling very lonely, it needs something to weigh it down with." Dianne has also been candid about her and Joe's plans for a family in the future. In an interview in 2022, she mentioned they plan to start a family 'when it feels right', signalling they're not rushing to grow their romance into a larger family just yet. Joe, the younger brother of famed YouTuber Zoe Sugg, was 27 when he first crossed paths with Dianne and has confessed she's his first "proper girlfriend". Speaking openly with The Sunday Times in 2021, Joe shared: "Dianne is my first girlfriend. Other than, like, my penpal from when I was 10."
