Tesco's birthday cake sandwich is leaving shoppers divided
A new birthday cake sandwich has been spotted in the supermarket, with the word spreading across the internet.
It comes just weeks after a similar "strange" strawberries and cream sandwich from M&S also made headlines.
The new Tesco cake is causing a divide, with some shoppers loving it, but others not so much.
Tesco's birthday cake sandwich is leaving shoppers divided
A photo was shared of the new Tesco sandwich on the Money Saving Central Facebook group, which has already received hundreds of comments.
One person said: "Absolutely not, just when strawberries and cream couldn't get worse."
Another added: "Maybe if it was cake cut to look like a sandwich I'd have it but not if it's on bread. Yuck."
The sandwich has also been discussed on the Tesco page on Reddit.
One confused person said: "What am I actually looking at?"
Another described the sandwich as "utter filth", and another said it was "weird".

However, not everyone disagrees with the flavour, with some looking forward to trying it.
"This reminds me of when I tried sprinkles on buttered bread. Game changer," said one.
A second person said: "Is it just me who actually wants it."
Some shoppers also compared it to Fairy Bread, which is popular in Australia.
Often served at parties, it is sliced white bread spread with butter or margarine and covered with sprinkles.
New viral sandwich after M&S controversy
The divide over Tesco's new sandwich comes after the M&S strawberries and cream sandwich made waves in the supermarket community.
The £2.80 'game-changing' limited edition Red Diamond Strawberry & Creme Sandwich was inspired by Japanese 'sweet sandos', or fruit sandwiches, M&S said.
It is filled with the fruit and light whipped cream cheese on fluffy, sweetened bread.
Many described the product as "weird", but many others enjoyed the creation.
M&S Food first sold freshly made sandwiches in the 1920s, and expanded sales with pre-packed sandwiches in the 1980s.

Dr Martens Sandal Review: Versatile Summer Footwear
Before inevitably coughing up for a band tee at the merch stand, I wore my fisherman DMs with a pair of burgundy adidas Firebird shorts and an asymmetric vest top from the Mia Regan x H&M collection. Once I popped my merch on top of the vest, I hiked it up a bit, tied it at the back, and tied a little bow with the asymmetrical string detailing on the vest.

If You Hate Skinny Jeans, I've Just Found The Perfect Pair Of Baggy Trousers
@Instagram/@gallagher_anais Skinny jeans are a marmite topic. Half of us love them, half of us loathe them - I find myself sitting somewhere in the middle. However, for those who simply cannot stand the sight of a pair of skinny jeans, there are plenty of other denim styles to choose from: wide-leg, straight-leg, mom, dad, bootcut, bell-bottoms (and breathe). No denim, however, comes close to the comfort of a pair of baggy trousers. And I mean super baggy, that's where my latest find comes in. Free People's Onset Pants are the perfect pair of baggy trousers for those who've sworn off any type of skinny jeans. With a wide-leg, utilitarian tie waist, pockets and the kind of slouch that still reads as polished, its trousers are what I'm going to call the antidote to denim-induced claustrophobia. Stay with me. Spotted recently on Anais Gallagher at an Oasis gig, the Onset Pants look effortlessly rock 'n' roll, as she styled them with Free People's Everyday Tee in clean ivory. We can all probably agree that there's something just so cool about the way Gallagher wore the trousers; it's almost like she's just thrown them on and headed out. Don't box the Onset Pants into the Brit It-girl aesthetic just yet, though, the trousers would also look just as good paired with a sheer knit and colourful trainers, or with a boho blouse and ballet flats. ©Instagram/@gallagher_anais Free People, Onset Pants - Calla Green The brand describes its Onset Pants as 'laidback in every way', and we can see why. The pants feature a mid-rise waist, a billowy design and baggy bottoms. Style with a more fitted top, like a baby tee or tank top and flip flops. The best part about the Onset Pants isn't just the numerous styling possibilities, but it's the excellent features of the trousers, too. Made from 100% cotton and with a mid-rise waist, the Onset Pants are as comfortable as they come, and the billowy, wide-leg bottoms are stylish, but won't drown you. Functional pockets add a touch of utilitarian charm, and the colour choices (anything from a bright amber yellow to a white shade named tofu) mean there's a shade to suit everyone, whether you prefer to dopamine dress or not. The truth is, the sartorial shift away from skinny jeans to baggier silhouettes speaks volumes about how we want to feel in our clothes. I, for one, no longer want to struggle to zip up jeans or undo my belt after dinner. Free People's Onset Pants embrace this new era of freedom and fluidity, with their oversized, slouchy style and elasticated waist. It's proof that a baggier style can be just as striking as a more tailored piece, definitely, maybe if you're heading to a gig or festival in the near future, too. Free People, Onset Pants - Dusted Cocoa Free People, Onset Pants - Amber Yellow Free People, Onset Pants - Berry Twist Free People, Onset Pants - Tofu Urban Outfitters, BDG Baggy Boi Trousers Urban Outfitters also has a pair of khaki baggy trousers, with similar utilitarian details and tie waist. Its style has a low-waisted fit, two inset pockets and one rear patch pocket, perfect for styling with graphic tees and trainers. Pull & Bear, Balloon Fit Technical Cargo Trousers Pull & Bear's take on a classic baggy trouser has a balloon fit, as well as flap pockets on the legs and an elasticated waist. Made of cotton, the trousers are an excellent transitional piece, and in the cooler months, layer up with a chunky knit and black ankle boots. Damson Madder, Felix Twill Trousers Damson Madder also has a pair of trousers that are of the same style as Free People's. Its Felix Twill Trousers have a loose barrel fit, an elasticated waist and embroidery on the back pockets.
