The original Tago rolls cost £1.99, and one user commented that buying a similar product in a Cyprus airport can cost a whopping seven euros.
Chocoholics show no sign of slowing down after Easter as they rave about the "creamy hazelnut" filling, which "puts the Nutella into the crispy treat."
One raved: 'They taste beautiful, they're dangerous, I can't stop eating them.'
Another agreed, exclaiming: 'Oh my go, they are delicious, these will not last long, hazelnut is my kryptonite."
One TikTok food reviewer, whose discerning taste buds command the respect of nearly 70k followers, proclaimed: 'These are absolutely delicious and an absolute bargain!
'That creamy filling is to die for.
"I literally drove back to the store, 15 minutes away, to grab more before they went."
Creamy, creamy, creamy- the word was repeated by almost every reviewer.
Tariq Wright pointed out that you can bulk buy, as they have a shelf life of nine months, although it is doubtful that many will last that long.
But many users had already had to restock up, so good luck making them last that long.
Carly wrote: 'Had to get me another box of the hazelnut wafer rolls, coated in a chocolate filling.'
Choccy lovers' funky uses of the crunchy treats range from popping them into ice cream, milkshake, and even smashing them up into cheesecake bases.

Stunning sunshine city in the heart of Europe is perfect spot for food and footie fans
Even in a heatwave, it's the perfect getaway PORT-U-GOAL Stunning sunshine city in the heart of Europe is perfect spot for food and footie fans Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN ice-cold beer has never tasted so good. Not only because it was a tantalising Sagres, but because I was enjoying it in the refuge of a cool bar, as temperatures outside soared to a blistering 39C.

My partner Lauren and I might be sweltering under the relentless heatwave that was hitting Europe, but just hours after landing for our city break in the Portuguese capital, we knew we'd picked just the right place for an unforgettable adventure. The charming city is a cool (or not so cool in our case) mix of laid back culture, an extraordinary blend of history and, much to our delight, culinary revelation. Its winding cobbled streets, vibrant neighbourhoods, and stunning architecture make it impossible to experience everything in just one visit but we gave it our best shot and what we did manage to explore was nothing short of exceptional. Praça do Comércio is undeniably a tourist hotspot but, just like our lunch, it's a feast for the eyes, framed by striking architecture and boasting views of the impressive River Tagus. We ate as we admired the imposing Sanctuary of Christ the King in all its glory, on the opposite side and decided that was definitely on our weekend wanted list. But first that beer, and also a taste of the local cherry brandy, Ginja. I'm not particularly partial to cherries, but it was rich, sweet, and utterly delicious. An hour or so of wandering, as much in the shade as possible, and we hit TimeOut Market, or Mercado da Ribeira, a bustling food hall showcasing the best of Portuguese cuisine. 16 Time Out Mercado da Ribeira in Lisbon is THE place for food Credit: Alamy 16 David and his partner Lauren feasted at Time Out From freshly shucked oysters to artisanal bread, olives, and a crisp bottle of Vinho Verde, you'll find it and much more here. It's loud and very busy, but full of atmosphere. However securing a seat in the crowds requires patience – a small price to pay for the amazing cuisines on offer. Top 5 cheapest European city breaks Our base for the weekend was the sleek and modern Czar Lisbon Hotel in Anjos, conveniently connected to the city centre via Lisbon's efficient metro system. A pal had recommended getting the Lisbon Card and it proved invaluable, granting us discounted access to attractions and easy travelling throughout the city. The hotel was very comfortable, with spacious rooms and hearty meals. 16 Spacious and comfortable rooms at the Czar Lisbon Hotel in Anjos 16 Fado is Portugal's soul music Credit: Lisbon Tourism 16 David and Lauren loved their night at Clube de Fado Credit: Lisbon Tourism A standout dish was the Porto-style steak served with chips and eggs - yes you read that right, steak chips and eggs. But this was nothing like back home, it was a truly satisfying fusion of flavours. Now everybody knows no visit to Lisbon would be complete without experiencing Fado, the soulful music that captures the spirit of Portugal. At Clube de Fado, we dined on prawns and Bacalhau, the city's beloved salt cod dish, while being serenaded by heartfelt performances. Thankfully we didn't have to sing for our supper or I might have cleared the crowded place. Next morning I embarked on a personal pilgrimage to Estádio Nacional, the historic stadium where Celtic famously triumphed in the 1967 European Cup, leaving Lauren to enjoy a leisurely long lie. Unfortunately there was an athletics event on which meant I couldn't explore all of the hallowed ground, but just being able to stand here was a poignant moment for this football enthusiast. 16 David Donaldson Lisbon travel pics Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk 16 Stunning Sintra is close to the city 16 Goegeous Quinta da Regaleira 16 The Initiation Well is a must see A 40-minute train ride from Lisbon took us to magical Sintra, a fairytale town where royalty once sought solace. It's renowned for its opulent palaces and breathtaking landscapes. After a challenging uphill walk – more arduous than we'd been led to believe – we reached the Quinta da Regaleira. Its atmosphere, intricate architecture, and lush gardens are stunning and the queue to see the famed Initiation Well, with its mystical and pagan symbols, was worth the wait. Legend says Templar Knight initiation ceremonies were once held here where they would climb down the spiral staircase, and emerge into a pitch-black labyrinth of tunnels. We didn't quite pluck up the courage to follow in their footsteps but did explore a few levels.

We paddled along the shore, before heading to a seafront restaurant to feast on locally caught fresh and very affordable seafood. 16 Praia da Ribeira de Cascais Beach Credit: Alamy 16 Jeronimos Monastery at Belem in Lisbon Credit: Getty 16 The 16th century Tower of Belem.

The outdoor kiosks offer affordable drinks and snacks to enjoy as you relax under the sun or in our case, the shade, while soaking up the atmosphere. On our final day we ventured to Belém, and headed to the Jerónimos Monastery. Although the Belém Tower was closed for renovations, the monastery's lovely cloisters and grounds more than made up for it. And I couldn't resist a visit to the Belenenses FC stadium, although Lauren wasn't quite as taken with it! As temperatures soared we ended our trip as it began, seeking solace in a bar, This time we enjoyed a couple of refreshing Caipirinhas, a Brazilian cocktail and a heavy nod to Lisbon's strong Brazilian influences…Saúde!

Man jets off to exotic destinations for just 24 HOURS... flying across the globe and back in one day
A day trip to Egypt? Lunch in Ireland? A morning walk in Rome? Kevin Droniak has experienced it all and gotten home in time for supper. The 28-year-old travel influencer has jetted off on 14 'day-trips' throughout 2025, flying from his home in New York City to an exotic destination across the globe and returning home within 24 hours. He books red-eye flights to various countries, explores them for one day, and then heads back home that evening. He's been documenting it all on his TikTok and Instagram, teaching his 300,000 followers how to save time and money while traveling the world. 'I weigh out the activities in that location and how much am I going to have to spend on the ground,' he dished. He's taken day trips to Paris, France, Rome, Italy, Costa Rica, the Bahamas, and even Iceland. He breaks down the cost in his videos. Trips range from $200-$1,000, including food, activities, and transportation, and most average around $500. One of his most expensive day trips was an $800 round-trip to Cairo, Egypt, but he said it was totally worth it as he couldn't pass up spending a day at the pyramids. But his 24-hour trip to Ireland, which ended up costing him almost $900 thanks to a flat tire that ate up his time, may not have been worth the price tag. Still, 'It's more fun to have a flat tire in Ireland than just being bored at home,' he said. His cheapest day trip cost him about $120 - a round-trip flight to Puerto Rico allowed him to spend the day at the beach and make it back to sleep in his bed that night. Finding affordable flights is a challenge, especially when the round trip takes place within one day, so Droniak monitors Expedia and Google Flights ahead of his trips. He likes to use the 'explore' or 'map' features to see which destinations are cheapest on days he's hoping to travel. If an airline ticket is below the average cost, he considers the journey worth it. 'I think that's another essential thing if you're trying to find a cheap flight, is being flexible with your dates,' he explained. 'I probably book my trips between two weeks and a month in advance.' While embarking on a day trip, he recommended just pick one or two things to do, and don't expect yourself to see the whole city in one day. 'When you land, you wanna jam everything in, but I try not to have too much planned since the time is fleeting,' he said. 'I believe that you can experience a place on the ground for just a day because there's nowhere else to go. You don't have a hotel. There's no time to just sit and scroll on your phone.' To save money, he finds cheap or even free activities. He walks, takes public transportation, and eats cost-efficient meals. Droniak started day-tripping not only to see the world, but to embrace solo-travel. 'I was tired of waiting around for people to go on trips with me,' he said. 'I think day-tripping is great because you get a little taste of solo traveling, there's not much of a risk… It's less commitment and you're able to learn about yourself.' But Droniak said day trips are not a vacation - they're not supposed to be relaxing, and often, they're exhausting. 'It's like a race with time,' he joked. Getting as much sleep as possible on the plane is crucial. On one of his first trips, he watched movies instead of resting, and it turned out to be a bitter mistake. 'You don't want to be overly tired walking around the next day. You need energy, so just make sure you're able to get some shut-eye on the plane there,' he recommended. Despite the potential for exhaustion, Droniak pointed out that jet lag is never an issue. 'You don't have enough time there to acclimate to that time zone,' he dished. He hopes to spend more time in these bucket list locations, but Droniak loves the rush of a short trip. And his followers do too. 'Right now I'm just getting such a thrill out of popping around and seeing new places in a short amount of time,' he said. In the end, he encouraged aspiring day-trippers to be flexible and adventurous like him. 'It's just unpredictable, [you] have to be down for anything,' he concluded.
