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.

BREAKING NEWS Erika Jayne finally breaks silence on ex Tom Girardi's jail sentence for swindling clients out of $15million
Erika Jayne has emotionally spoken out days after ex-husband Tom Girardi was sentenced to jail after his conviction on multiple fraud charges. Giradi, 86, faces dying behind bars with his sentence of seven years and three months in federal prison after being found guilty of swindling his horribly injured or grieving clients out of around $15 million in settlement fees. Erika, 53, revealed she had learned Girardi's grim fate while in London on tour during a candid chat on the Friday, June 13, episode of Diamonds in the Rough with Teddi Mellencamp. The reality star, who was wed to Girardi for 20 years, said: 'And then 10 minutes before the second show, I get the news that Tom is being sent to prison. … It just hurts. 'It reopens old healing wounds, and it is something that, you know, I had a sold-out crowd in a theater just for me, and I was so grateful. My happiest place in the whole world to be is on stage. So while I was happy … there's a little piece [of me] that was like, "Ugh." 'I was very disappointed because those people [in the audience] were there for me, and I felt like five percent of myself was feeling sorry for myself. I was 95 percent there, and five percent of myself was feeling sorry for myself. Giradi, 86, faces dying behind bars with his sentence of seven years and three months in federal prison after being found guilty of swindling his horribly injured or grieving clients out of around $15 million in settlement fees - pictured August 2024 'This was the day that he got sentenced, my second show. My first show was flawless. And my second show was great, don't get me wrong. But there was that five percent I could have given the audience, and instead I was feeling sorry for myself. The reality star said she struggled to 'fight back thoughts and emotions' during her performance. Erika was herself accused alongside Girardi of embezzling money to fund their lavish lifestyles - but faced no charges. As well as his jail time, Girardi has been ordered to pay $2,310,247 in restitution to his victims and a $35,000 fine. Judge Josephine L. Staton, who handed down the sentencing, ordered Girardi to surrender to federal authorities by July 17. The sentencing occurred in a courthouse in downtown Los Angeles on June 3, which also happens to be Girardi's 86th birthday. A jury found the once-powerful attorney guilty on four counts of wire fraud in August. Girardi, who built the prestigious LA law firm Girardi & Keese after his fight against a California utility giant inspired the Oscar-winning movie Erin Brockovich, plead not guilty to the four counts (he had been indicted on five counts of wire fraud in 2023). His high-rolling career came tumbling down in 2020 when he was accused of stealing millions in settlements he'd won for the victims of the 2018 Lion Air plane crash in Indonesia, a tragedy in which 189 people died. The claims from that crash were also the basis of separate criminal charges against Girardi in Chicago, where he was charged with eight counts of wire fraud and four counts of criminal contempt of court. However those charges were dropped following the California conviction. He pleaded not guilty in that case. 'This self-proclaimed "champion of justice" was nothing more than a thief and a liar who conned his vulnerable clients out of the millions of dollars,' United States Attorney Bill Essayli said in a press release about the prison sentence. 'My office will vigorously prosecute corrupt lawyers and those who assist them in criminal activities.' Lawyers for Girardi, who was diagnosed with late-onset Alzheimer's disease and dementia in 2021, had concerns about the defendant residing in prison amid his health woes. Attorney Sam Cross, who is among Girardi's lawyers, said the defendant would probably end up spending the rest of his life in prison in light of his health troubles, according to the LA Times. 'Should Tom Girardi die in prison?' he asked the judge multiple times in remarks. Cross also asked the judge on Monday to keep Girardi in his current assisted living facility instead sending him to federal prison, arguing he would not receive the proper care he needs in prison. 'We believe he is in need of specialized treatment,' Cross explained to the judge, according to Deadline. He described Girardi as 'frail, elderly' and argued he would be at risk of being 'exploited or taken advantage of' in prison. But the judge ultimately disagreed, citing testimony from a BOP forensic psychologist, a BOP neuropsychologist, and the self-awareness Girardi was apparently exhibiting. She concluded they can safely sentence Girardi to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility. 'He will be designated to an appropriate facility,' she said. Girardi's mental competence had been a major issue throughout the trial, with his lawyers previously attempting to push for a new trial in addition to claiming he is unable to assist his lawyers, struggles with his memory, and is legally unfit to appear before a jury (however prosecutors claimed it was mostly an act, alleging he had been faking dementia to evade being held responsible for his crimes, according to the Los Angeles Times). In January 2024 Girardi was cleared to stand trial with U.S. District Judge Josephine L. Staton declaring he was 'competent to stand trial', despite his Alzheimer's diagnosis. Girardi was previously declared fit by a court-appointed psychologist in June 2023 but his attorneys presented repeated challenges. Neuropsychologist Dr. Diana Goldstein said that she 'has concluded her examination and opined, among other things, that [Girardi] is competent to stand trial,' she wrote. It is unclear the basis for that conclusion and her full analysis. Goldstein's report was filed under seal and partly redacted by Girardi's attorneys. The prosecutors who retained Goldstein do not have access to the complete document, Yahoo News reported. California forensic and clinical psychiatrist, Dr. Nathan Lavid wrote in a sworn affidavit that Girardi suffered from late-onset Alzheimer's disease and dementia, the news outlet reported. Girardi's brother, Robert, had been acting as conservator on his brother's behalf after Girardi underwent a mental evaluation in February 2021, The New York Post reported. During the trial, the jury heard that between 2010 and 2020 the shamed attorney used his clients' settlement funds 'like a personal piggy bank.' 'Girardi Keese was a den of thieves and Tom Girardi was the thief-in-chief,' Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott Paetty previously told the court. 'Girardi Keese was a house of cards built on the lies of Tom Girardi.' Girardi ran a massive 'Ponzi scheme,' lying to clients and using their misappropriated millions to pay for his own lavish lifestyle of private jets, luxury cars, exclusive club memberships, expensive jewelry for his third wife, ex-go-go dancer Jayne plus $20 million to fund her acting career. The couple were together for 21 years but their divorce - filed by Jayne soon after the Lion Air allegations - has been held up since Girardi Keese filed bankruptcy in 2021 with more than $100 million in debts. Jayne never showed up at her soon-to-be-ex husband's trial and it's unclear if she ever made an appearance to the sentencing on Tuesday, however she made no mention of her estranged husband's legal troubles on Instagram that day, with her latest Instagram Story being a shout-out to her new Vogue profile at 7:15AM PT. Girardi - who was disbarred in 2022 following the allegations against him - was portrayed by his defense team as suffering from dementia. 'He got old, he got sick, he lost his mind,' his attorney Charles Snyder previously told the court. 'All the lights were on but there was nobody home. He lost touch with reality.' Girardi and his legal team also pointed the finger of blame at another man, Christopher Kamon, 49, the chief financial officer of Girardi Keese who they say stole between $50 million and $100 million from the company. Kamon plead guilty to two counts of wire fraud and was sentenced to 121 months in federal prison in April in a separate trial. During the trial, prosecutors told jurors that Girardi preyed on clients who were 'in their darkest hours,' suffering from terrible injuries or mourning the death of loved ones. Joe Ruigomez - who desperately needed money to pay the giant medical bills for the horrible injuries he suffered in a 2020 gas explosion at his home that killed his girlfriend - was told by Girardi that his settlement from the PG&E utility was $5 million, when it was actually $50 million. Another Girardi client, Judy Selberg, hired the once-acclaimed lawyer to bring an unlawful death lawsuit after her husband Paul was killed in a boating accident in April 2018. Girardi won $500,000 for her but at the time of the guilty verdict, more than four years after the settlement, she's still owed a large portion of that. He also held up Erica Saldana's $2.5 million settlement which she needed to pay the medical bills for the devastating injuries her one-year-old son suffered in a car crash. And Josie Hernandez had to declare bankruptcy because Girardi didn't pay her the money she was owed from a settlement over a medical device injury. In all these cases, when the clients called or emailed Girardi to ask when they were going to get their money, he came up with excuses like there was a lien or 'holdback' on the settlement, that there was an IRS issue or a judge needed to 'sign off' before the money could be paid. All these claims were false. 'He lied to his clients over and over and over again about why they weren't being paid,' Assistant U.S. Attorney Ali Moghaddas previously told the court. 'He lied to them them because he did not want to give them their money because it was gone….it was already spent. 'Behind the curtain he was pilfering his clients' funds. It was just cruel to treat victims in this manner. 'He was buying two private jets while his clients weren't getting paid…. This this case is a simple and sad story of trust violated and greed.' It took the jury of seven men and five women only four and a half hours of deliberation to reach their guilty verdicts - two hours the first day and two-and-a-half hours the following day.

I've seen signs of how stressed Harry is recently – he's killed any chance of reconciliation with King, expert says
A ROYAL expert says Prince Harry seems "down and sad" having killed any change of mending bridges with his father. Last month, the royal launched into an astonishing rant on the BBC after losing his legal challenge to get back his tax-payer funded security. 6 6 The 40-year-old made a series of bombshell claims about the Royal Family - all the while insisting he wanted reconciliation. King Charles was said to be "frustrated and upset" by his son's tirade. Renowned royal photographer Arthur Edwards told the Royal Exclusive Show that Harry looked "so sad" in the interview. He told The Sun's Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson that Harry "doesn't seem to be having a real role now" as Meghan delves into her various business ventures. He said: "And I keep thinking back to that video he made when he lost the court case. And he looked so sad in that, so really down and not upbeat like he was normally. "I feel somehow he's having probably second thoughts. All he wanted to do was reconcile with his father. "The thing is, if he'd only said sorry on that interview, 'sorry, Pop, you know, I do want to see you' - I think that might have had a different [effect]. "But in many ways, it was coming from his heart, I thought. His father is not well, he's concerned - it's his father." "I did feel that was a change in his attitude. I mean, I haven't seen anything in five years. and then suddenly he comes out with that. "I thought he looked so sad, you know, so sad." The Sun's Royal Editor called Harry's interview "one of their biggest mistakes" and said "it came from a place of anger". Prince Harry's biggest bombshells: Prince Harry lost his publicly-funded security appeal in a humiliating blow today Harry claimed the King WON'T speak to him 'because of this security stuff' He said he 'can't see a world' where he would bring his wife and children to the UK Harry revealed he has 'forgiven' his family and was up for reconciliation - but claimed it was ALL down to Charles The royal described his court loss as a 'good old fashioned establishment stitch up' He also said he feels 'let down' by his country and reached out to the PM for help. Buckingham Palace breaks its silence with a scathing statement after the bombshell interview Prince Harry says he 'doesn't know how long King Charles has left' The Royal gave the extraordinary interview after losing his appeal against the decision to remove his taxpayer-funded security. In a fresh scathing attack, the Duke of Sussex unleashed a host of new claims including how dad Charles is no longer speaking to him and how he's "uncovered his worst fears". The Duke of Sussex said he would "love reconciliation" with the royal family. This comes after years of feuding with the family, including his own brother Prince William. The feud between the Duke and his family started when he and Meghan Markle announced on January 8, 2020, that they would be stepping down as 'senior' members of the Royal Family. A tragic revelation in the bombshell interview was when Prince Harry revealed that his father, King Charles, won't speak to him. Harry said when making the emotional admission: "He won't speak to me because of this security stuff." Harry and William are also said to be barely on speaking terms. William was reportedly 'blindsided' by Harry's decision to ditch his duties to live in his Montecito mansion with Meghan and the pair have yet to make amends. Another blow to the Royal relationships struck when Harry released his memoir Spare in 2023. Harry didn't hold back in the controversial book which caused a deeper chasm between him and his brother. In the bombshell memoir, he detailed Megxit and how the Royal family brand Meghan "difficult" and "rude." He slammed Queen Camilla as a villain and was highly criticised for outing his family for cash. The Duke of Sussex chillingly suggested it would be the Firm's fault if anything happened to him or wife Meghan Markle. He said he misses the UK and it is "sad" that he won't be able to show his children his homeland. A Palace Spokesperson said at the time: "All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion." 6 6 6 Prince Harry is 'pointing finger' & 'wants to blame everybody else' in bombshell interview as he 'fumes over court loss' PRINCE Harry is pointing the finger in his bombshell interview after losing his battle for taxpayer-funded security, an expert slams. The Duke responded to losing his court fight over his security in the UK in a bombshell BBC interview - in which he blamed a number of people for not giving him what he believes is sufficient security. The Duke chillingly suggested it would be the Firm's fault if anything happened to him or wife Meghan Markle and that he feels unsafe to bring his children to the UK. Broadcaster and royal biographer Hugo Vickers, 72, said it's not unlike Harry to play the blame game and it's about time he takes some accountability. Vickers told The Sun: "I think he's pointing the finger pretty much at all of us really. "He's always angry and so he's sort of doing what he does so often you know which is to blame other people. "That is what they do the whole time. "They're always telling us what they think and what they feel and telling us that we're in the wrong and they're in the right. "He wants to attribute blame to everybody else - I mean he never seems to accept that he, himself, has done quite a few things which on the whole we don't really like." After losing the appeal over receiving security for himself and his family - after battling for three-and-a-half years - Prince Harry expressed he was immensely disappointed with the verdict.

I quit boring 9-5 job & make £40K a month on TikTok shop working 3 days a week… I didn't even use social media before
LIKE most parents, Jordan Payne was always keen to find ways to bring in a bit of extra cash. But when she decided to start promoting items for TikTok shop, she never expected to make £40,000 in just ONE month. 13 13 13 And she reckons she's made a staggering £150,000 since opening up her profile on the video-based platform in 2020. The mum-of-two barely used any of her own social media when she first began posting on the app, hoping she might make a few extra quid. By December 2023 she was earning thousands a month - and 18 months later she managed to quit her 9-5 job as a technical product manager to focus full-time on her new TikTok career. In an exclusive interview with The Sun, she said: 'When I first realised I'd made £40,000 in a month, it just seemed crazy. 'You can't quite believe that it's even possible. Most people just don't manage that. 'I did it in November last year around Black Friday. I normally bring in around £10,000 a month, but it's taken me years to build up to this.' TikTok Shop is a marketplace on the social media app, selling everything from beauty products to clothes and garden items, often at bargain prices. When Jordan started you had to have 1,000 followers before you could promote items on the shop. You'd then earn a commission on each sale that came from people clicking through a link on the post. To gain followers Jordan posted tips for brides, as she had got married the month before. Now you need just 500 followers to start doing work for TikTok shop. I've made £18k on Vinted - my clever tip means your photos will stand out 13 13 Commission ranges from two per cent up to 25 per cent, depending on the product and the creator's following and previous success. Jordan, who is appearing in Channel 4 's Secrets of TikTok Shop, first considered joining the app to make money in 2020, after a friend who'd been furloughed during lockdown told her how much money they'd been making from it. The Kent-based mum, 33, was initially a little sceptical about if she'd be able to do the same, as she didn't really use social media like Instagram or Facebook, nevermind TikTok. 'At first, it was really awkward making the videos,' she said. 'In the first week, I felt uncomfortable talking to the camera, and I was focusing on that rather than who I though might be watching the content. 'After a bit, you just forget about it. Once I got my first sale, I was like, 'This is all worth it, so worth putting the time and effort in.' 'I do look back at my old videos now and think, 'Wow that's different'. I've just learnt what works and what doesn't.' Jordan's account, jordanpayne25, focuses on family life, as she has two boys aged one and three with husband Lance, 36. It took her a while to find her niche, but now she reviews kids toys, clothing and items for the family home like air fryers and parasols. Booming business 13 13 Once she'd found products that sold well, it took a few years for her to start making around £10,000 per month from TikTok Shop. 'This time last year, it started really booming,' she said. 'It is life-changing. It's enabled me to quit my job, and I had a good, quite highly paid job before. Now I get to be at home with my kids a lot more. "I tend to work three days a week. I spend all day creating content, editing it, looking on TikTok to see what is doing well. 'I do get more time with my kids but I worry they don't realise that when I'm on my phone, I'm working.' Jordan revealed the most important element of a TikTok video is the opening three seconds - called 'the hook' by creators. It's the short time period it takes TikTok users to decide if they want to watch the video or not. 'One I found worked was saying 'I'm buying this for my nan', because it got people intrigued,' she said. 'It worked so well that I repeated it across several videos. It's one of the important things I've learnt over the years.' Jordan always viewed working with TikTok shop as a business venture, and now all of her earnings from the app are paid into a business account. Storage rooms of products 13 13 She pays herself a set salary of £1,048, plus dividends, every month, and resists spending every penny she earns on her ongoing home renovation project. Jordan is one of the top 120 sellers on TikTok in the UK - and as a result, she has to dedicate rooms in her home to storing products. She said: 'I've got content rooms which are just storage because I've so much stuff that I try to keep to promote. 'I've got about eight air fryers in there. Obviously I can't use them, because nobody needs that. 'But I keep them all because the brand sent them to me... it could be that one of them's on sale tomorrow, one's on sale in a few weeks, and I can promote the different ones, because they're all good for different reasons.' While promoting items from the shop is all about getting sales, Jordan does give her honest opinion when she feels an item isn't up to scratch. 'I have given negative reviews as well, which is a bit of a controversial one,' she said. 'Some people do it, some people don't. Mine blew up, which was a bit difficult for me, because it was a Mystery Toy Box, and they are a nice company. 'But I just really didn't think the particular Paw Patrol box was good value for money, so I said that. 'It mainly just had paintings in it and not much variety, and I think a kid receiving that would be disappointed.' 13 13 Jordan is keen to encourage others to replicate her success on the platform. She's helped family and friends set up accounts - including her sister, who promoted products on an account that didn't feature her face. Jordan has also noticed a number of people using the app have told how much they are battling financially with the cost of living crisis. She said: 'I see a lot of people online talking about how they struggle. I saw one lady, who was a nurse, saying that she and her husband were struggling despite both having full time jobs. Jordan's 5 top tips for bossing TikTok Shop Jordan has been encouraging family and friends to start selling things on TikTok Shop. She offers these top tips to budding sellers... 1. Just go for it. I think that's where most people get stuck, they're too scared to even start it. So just give it a try, even if it's faceless, just try. You can always stop doing it. 2. Follow other creators that are doing well in the same kind of products that you're interested in. If you're beauty, follow them. If you're home, follow accounts that do that, because that'll give you lots of ideas. 3. Look at your analytics. We get lots of information, our watch times and all sorts of stuff. Look at which videos have done the best and repeat that if you had a good 'hook' (first three seconds). If you've got a video that's done particularly well, do that exact thing again, on the same product or different ones. 4. Buy the product. Don't always wait for free samples or worry about not spending the money (within reason!) because if you miss the early stages of it being viral, you're probably going to miss out on sales. Someone else will get it. If you get to it too late, it's probably not going to go viral for you, even if it was a trending product. 5. Make sure you are using good lighting. The visual of the video matters. If it's dark or blurry, that video won't get pushed by TikTok. Plus, no one's going to want to watch it. 'Everybody at the moment is looking for a side hustle or a way to just get by with the current cost of living. "TikTok shop is just a great way for people to earn an extra income. 'It doesn't have to be £10,000 a month if you don't want to put time in. "Some people just want a little extra to help out. My sister-in-law makes about £500 a month, which makes a big difference to paying bills and things.' UNTOLD: Secrets of TikTok Shop is now streaming on Channel 4 13 13
