The 140g packet of biccies is 90p at Sainsbury's and just one of a range of new flavours of the iconic brand.
A photo of the mango and passionfruit Jammie Dodgers was shared to the Newfoods UK social media pages where reactions where mixed.
"Wish they would just stick to original!!!! More jam!!!!!!!!" wrote one person.
Another added: "Oh yum."
A third commented: "Tasteless."
And a fourth reacted: "We need to get these."
A spokesperson for Fox Burton's which makes Jammie Dodgers said they expect the new flavours to fly off the shelf.
"We are very excited about these new flavours and expect them to do well in market," the spokesperson told The Sun.
Another of the unique flavours available at supermarkets is cherry, apple and blackcurrant, and strawberry Jammie Dodgers.
Last year, the brand raised eyebrows when shoppers found a re-released banana version of Jammie Dodgers.
Biscuit lover left gutted after finding Jammie Dodger without key ingredient
The banana flavouring replaces the classic jam filling that Brits have grown to love over the years.
The yellow-flavoured biscuits were first launched in the UK in July 2022 inspired by the Minions film, The Rise of Gru.
It was not the first new flavour the biscuit company has tried - other tempting flavours have been launched such as cherry and apple.

Liz Truss has no right to moan about the Olympics opening ceremony
For a certain type of leftie, the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony holds a special place in their hearts. It was the high point of Twee Britain, a prelapsarian vision of a nicer, gentler, more progressive country before the horrors of Brexit. The Queen and James Bond. Voldemort (before JK Rowling became She Who Must Not Be Named) and Mary Poppins. Rowan Atkinson, the NHS, and Paul McCartney – wasn't it all so lovely? If only Britain could be that brilliant again. Danny Boyle, where are you now? It is this fixation with that one event that Liz Truss attacked on Ben Shapiro's podcast. The opening ceremony, the former Prime Minister argues, did not represent 'the views of the average Briton'. Instead, they were those of an 'elite that hates Britain': based in London, disconnected from our small towns and rural communities, and far more enthusiastic about waxing lyrically about multiculturalism and promoting the rights of illegal immigrants than they are conscious of the state of their country. Perhaps Truss is right. Perhaps there are legions of readers nodding their heads vigorously in agreement with her every word. But unfortunately for her, this august newspaper has discovered that her disgust at the highpoint of British leftism has not always been so fulsome. Indeed, there was a time in which she counted herself as quite a fan of Danny Boyle's magnum opus. Back in 2019, she called for a revival of 'the Olympics 2012 spirit' – 'a modern, patriotic, enterprising vision of Britain'. Why the change of tune? Could it be that Truss is – perish the thought – is something of a grifter? Parachuted in by David Cameron's A-List, promoted by successive Tory leaders far beyond the level of her incompetence, roundly rejected by both the financial markets and her own MPs, and voted out last summer, Truss has little better to do but launder her reputation by being performatively right-wing for the growing number of interchangeable shock-jocks springing up on either side of the Atlantic. If you wanted an example of someone cut off from the rest of the country, Truss could be your poster girl. Living in central London, Truss lost her Norfolk seat partially because she never bothered to visit it. When it comes to representing the 'average Briton', Truss has rather poor form – not only because she left office plumbing unprecedented depths of prime ministerial popularity, but also because she was planning to massively increase immigration to plug her mini-Budget blackhole. Indeed, if you gave the average Briton a choice between rewatching the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony and lowlights of Truss's 49 days in office, I can imagine what they'd choose. Yes, I find the leftie fetishisation of those few hours in the summer of 2012 as tedious as the next Tory. But 27 million average Britons watched it without turning off in disgust. That's about 27 million more than ever voted for Liz Truss – or have the faintest bit of interest in what she has to say.

Peter Crouch recounts brilliant story of how Roy Keane made him sell his flash Aston Martin without saying a word
PETER CROUCH has revealed how Roy Keane made him sell his Aston Martin without saying a single word to him. The former footballer splurged on the sports car following his move to Liverpool and breaking into the England team. 6 Crouch, 44, signed for the Reds in 2005 and was called up to the Three Lions for the first time that year. Liverpool signed the striker from Southampton for £7million as he established himself as a top Premier League striker. Off the pitch, Crouch was enjoying himself too as he splashed out on a new Aston Martin. However, just days after buying it he took it back following a look from former Manchester United star Roy Keane while at the lights. While speaking on his The Therapy Crouch podcast, the now-pundit insisted that Keane made him feel like a "t**t" in the car. He said: "I bought an Aston Martin when I was kind of playing for Liverpool. "I got in the England squad and I thought, yeah I have made it, I'll get an Aston Martin, I deserve it. "But I knew I looked like a t**t in it. "And then I was driving around, I remember seeing Roy Keane at the lights. "He just gave me a look of like what a d**khead. I had my arm out, bins on, listening to some garage. "And he just looked at me like a piece of s**t. And I literally, with that look sold the car that week. "It was one of the nicest cars like ever, but I had just started well as it was like a little bit too much." It is not the first time Crouch has mentioned the moment, having previously spoken about it on talkSPORT. During that chat, Crouch admitted that he had only had the car a few days and that he sold it for £20,000 LESS than what he had bought it for. 6 6 Crouch's wife, Abbey Clancy, reacted to the story from Crouch. She added: "You're not a flashy person who is really obsessed with cars. "My favourite car Pete bought me, a vintage 1986 Mercedes convertible for my 30th birthday. "That's when you loved me." Crouch stayed at Liverpool until 2008, when he made the move to Portsmouth. After one year on the South Coast, he then signed for Tottenham before going on to play for Stoke City and Burnley. He earned 42 caps for England across his career, netting 22 goals. 6 6

The meticulous precision and planning behind Queen Elizabeth's public engagements
Known for her vibrant and carefully considered wardrobe, Queen Elizabeth II understood the powerful impact of fashion. For over 25 years, she worked closely with her Personal Assistant and Senior Dresser, Angela Kelly, to design outfits that were not only elegant but also culturally appropriate and symbolically significant. With her colourful wardrobe, signature wool coats and statement hats, she earned admiration and recognition around the world. One of her trademark fashion strategies was monochromatic dressing, where she would choose a single colour for her entire outfit. The late monarch famously relied on vibrant hues to ensure she stood out in any crowd, once quipping: 'If I wore beige, nobody would know who I am.' This approach was a masterclass in fashion, expertly coordinating accessories to create outfits which were put together and unforgettable. In her book Dressing the Queen, Angela Kelly offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes, revealing the meticulous planning that went into every royal appearance. Each outfit was given a unique name for easy reference - a process Ms Kelly describes as 'a lot of fun,' but also essential for maintaining accurate records of the Elizabeth's extensive wardrobe. While Her Majesty was well known for her love of bright colours, she was careful never to repeat a shade too soon. As Ms Kelly explains, colour leaves a lasting impression - particularly in photographs and on television - so the same hue would be avoided for subsequent appearances in the same region. 'For instance,' she notes, 'if Her Majesty wore red during her last visit to the south of England, we would steer clear of red again, even if the design was entirely different.' To keep track of this, each dresser kept a handwritten diary, logging the details of every outfit and the occasions it was worn. The system was deliberately designed with built-in backups - if one diary were lost or damaged, the others would still provide a complete record. This documentation allowed Kate, the Deputy Dresser, and her team to accurately identify which outfits had been worn for specific events, ensuring a well-organised rotation and avoiding repetition. When wearing an evening gown with a low neckline, a distinctive necklace could be displayed, while a square or V-neck called for smaller pieces like a simple diamond chain or a string of pearls Each ensemble was given a unique name, adding a personal and playful touch to the otherwise precise process. In addition to clothing, the diaries also noted the significant pieces of jewellery worn - a particularly useful reference given the vastness. The Queen had a stunning collection of heirloom pieces, from signature pearls to intricate gemstone necklaces, which were carefully planned for each appearance. When wearing an evening gown with a low neckline, a distinctive necklace could be displayed, while a square or V-neck called for smaller pieces like a simple diamond chain or a string of pearls.
