Mars issues update on future of White Chocolate Maltesers
The confectionery company is responsible for a range of popular chocolates including M&Ms, Snickers, Skittles and of course Mars bars.
But not all of its products hang around forever.
A number of Mars chocolates have been discontinued over the years as its range continued to develop.
Discontinued UK chocolates and sweets
Fans call for return of discontinued Maltesers chocolate
White Chocolate Maltesers were first launched by Mars Wrigley in the UK back in 2003.
However, the chocolates were discontinued in 2014 due to "low sales", according to Sky News.
Ten years later fans are still distraught about the axing of the Maltesers chocolate, calling on Mars to bring it back.

Another person posted: "Had a dream last night that white chocolate maltesers were back and I bought a whole crate of them."
A third person commented: "Whoever made the final decision to discontinue white chocolate maltesers is my eternal arch-nemesis."

How to save money at B&M Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app. The scanner lets you see if an item's price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label. Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift. The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store. According to one ex-B&M manager, you'll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too. Here's how you can join the B&M bargain hunt: Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play. Once you've installed it on your device, click on the option labelled "more" on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page. You'll then find an option that says "barcode scanner". Click on this and you'll open a camera screen. Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check. If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price. You don't need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner. Parents were eager to get their hands on the bargains after seeing others' hauls. One person wrote: "Great Christmas presents for some." Another commented: 'Definitely need to go and look." "I got a big trolley full as well," penned a third. Someone else added: 'I managed to get a cheap Barbie style speed boat for £1 but that was the only item left." More Bargains

Goodbye Dresses – These Milkmaid Tops Couldn't Be More Perfect For Summer 2025
Last year, milkmaid dresses - essentially, a wafty piece of material that would very much suit a wildflower meadow (think: the best Dôen dresses) - almost overtook the floral dress as summer's most popular throw-on-and-go item. This hot-weather season's update, however, is slightly less immersive, with a top version of the once-ubiquitous dress that utilises its boho credentials without looking as though you've lost your milking stool. Nicole Stark ©@nicolekimberleystark You can't escape the rise of milkmaid tops. As well as Dôen, whose entire 'tops' category right now is practically an ode to being an off-duty milkmaid (Kaia Gerber just wore its Traveler Top), high street brands have discovered the blouse in a big way ahead of summer (H&M, Nobody's Child, you name it). It's not hard to see the appeal. Even if you're not an outdoorsy person, and would rather not get up close and personal with anything of a bovine persuasion, the milkmaid top is tempting. Usually white and made of cotton with details along the lines of lace inserts, bow-tied closures, sheer panels and a general sense of lightness that makes them suitable for sultry temperatures (if only!), it's a top that goes hand in glove with summer occasions like meeting a friend after work for a park date (wine included). Kaia Gerber in Dôen's Traveler Top The trick is perhaps not going head-to-toe milkmaid, which is hard to avoid with the dress version. A milkmaid top, on the other hand, can be paired with a variety of lo-fi bottoms to balance out, or at least temper, its cottagecore leanings, something like knee-length denim shorts, a cargo skirt or even tracksuit bottoms. Lucy Williams ©@lucywilliams02 Of course, if you're fond of the look (and dipped your toe into the milkmaid dress trend last time round), no one's stopping you from teaming your milkmaid top with a lace skirt, bloomers or, following in the very stylish footsteps of Nicole Stark, a similarly wafty skirt. 1.

Netflix Adolescence star Owen Cooper takes swipe at 'just terrible' American icons
The 15-year-old rising star Owen Cooper - who shot to fame after staring in Netflix's Adolescence - appeared on The Tonight Show speaking to Jimmy Fallon and shocked the host with his comments. Rising star Owen Cooper known for his impressive performance in Netflix's hit show Adolescence has taken a playful swipe at US sweets and chocolates branding them "just terrible" earlier this week. Appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the young actor slated the confectionery and even brought out some US snacks to prove his point. The 15-year-old said: "One thing I hate about America - the chocolate and the sweets, everything is just terrible. It's just Cheetos and all that nonsense. Honestly, I hate it." Host Jimmy asked the teenager what he disliked about America as Owen spend some time there promoting the Netflix drama, which is in talks for a second series. After his honesty, Owen lifted the basket of snacks to show Jimmy his favourite sweets, which included Maltesers. Which were first sold in the UK back in 1937, the Mirror reports. "Have you ever had a Malteser? Right - I'll bring the whole basket up. So this is what I brought [Monster Munch, Maltesers and Fruit Pastilles]",Owen stated during the interview on NBC. The teen, from Warrington, Cheshire, argued that these brands were so much better than most American sweets. However, the US boasts a long standing history of iconic confectionery, with the market valued at $83.54 billion (£60 billion) in 2024. In the late 1800's, sweets in the US were handcrafted in small batches and sold in local shops across the country. That changed in 1894 when the Hershey Chocolate Company introduced the world to the first mass-produced milk chocolate bar. After World War II, confectionery began to be regularly imported to the UK and other countries. Although Owen's opinion on sweets is mirrored by his fans online, who left messages on social media. One posted: "Maltesers, Minstrels and beef Minichips are the perfect cinema snacks. Heaven. Can't get anything remotely close in the US." While another, seemingly an American, wrote: "He's absolutely correct. The candy, chips etc over here are atrocious. Garbage compared to Europe's." A third said: "He is spot on actually." Later in the interview, Owen revealed that some massive Hollywood stars have praised his performance on Adolescence. The rising star said Leonardo DiCaprio left him a video message when he was with his onscreen dad Stephen Graham. He stated: "Stephen Graham sent me a video yesterday and it's Leonardo DiCaprio sat next to him and he was saying 'Hey Owen, I'm such a big fan of Adolescence.'... I was like 'What!'" Owen received widespread acclaim for his leading role in the Netflix drama, despite having little prior acting experience before taking the role. Growing up one of his big interests was music - so much that his mum Noreen, a carer, nicknamed him "my mini Harry Styles." Neighbours in the Warrington area describe the family as grounded and modest. Owen, who also enjoys playing football for his local youth team, lives with Noreen and his dad Andy, 44, who works in IT as well as his older brother Ollie. He also has an older half-brother, Connor, who like Ollie works as an electrician.
