Discontinued chocolate bars Brits miss the most ranked
From the crunchy honeycomb centre of a Malteser to the gooey caramel of a classic Mars, everyone's got a favourite chocolate bar.
Most of us will also link our favourite chocolate to memorable moments such as school days or that walk home from our first job.
So, when they disappear from the shelves, we wait longingly for a comeback.
Now, a survey by a brand that is part of Smooth Radio has revealed the nation's top ten most-loved bars that Brits would like to see return.
The discontinued chocolate bar Brits want to return
Surveying 2,000 people across the UK, the results found that the minty twist on the classic Wispa bar came out on top, with more than one in five (22%) naming it as the chocolate they'd most like to see return.
A member of the Wispa family, the mint version first hit shelves in 1995 but was sadly discontinued in 2003 - much to the frustration of chocolate lovers.
Kit Kat Caramac, which was discontinued two years ago after 64 years due to declining sales, came in joint second with 20% of the vote.
Milky Way Crispy Rolls, pulled from production by Mars in 2022, also tied for second place.
White chocolate fans were left disappointed when Cadbury Dream was discontinued in the UK over two decades ago - and it seems they still miss it, as nearly one in five (18%) named it their preferred discontinued treat.
Known for its rich milk chocolate combined with smooth white chocolate, Cadbury Marble followed close behind with 16% of the vote.
It was discontinued in 2012, while Orange Crunchie - which featured a tangy orange-flavoured honeycomb centre - placed alongside it.
Rounding out the top five were other nostalgic favourites like Mars Delight, Cadbury Aztec, SnowFlakes, Quality Street Toffee Deluxe, and Mint Crunchie, each earning 13% of the vote.

Christmas attraction tickets are ALREADY selling out – here is how you can still book
Plus, what Lapland UK is really like WRAP IT UP Christmas attraction tickets are ALREADY selling out – here is how you can still book Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT barely feels like men have been wearing shorts and yet Brits are already thinking about Christmas. As we quickly approach autumn, many families are turning their thoughts to their Christmas plans. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Many tickets for Kew Gardens' Christmas event have already sold out Credit: Getty 3 Include in the week running up to Christmas Credit: Warner Bros. Studio Tour London Tickets for many of the UK's biggest festive events are launched months in advance. And keen Christmasphiles, there is an urge to quickly jump on booking tickets. Seemingly, that is exactly what has already happened for some Christmas events. For example, Christmas at Kew will return to Kew Gardens on November 14 with new installations. Each year there is a trail that features innovative new installations as well as a festive funfair. There are three different ticket types for different entrances - and multiple dates for admission with parking have already sold out. This type of ticket is fully sold out between December 19 and 23. There are two other entrances - Kew Gardens Underground and Kew Bridge National Rail - which both have some availability in this period. So if you want to head to Kew at Christmas, close to Christmas itself, you may need to book soon or opt for a ticket from one of the public transport entrances. There are also several dates selling out fast for parking entrance tickets, notably most weekends in November. The Sun visits the Kew Gardens Orchid Festival inspired by Madagascar Tickets for the experience cost from £31 per adult and £18 per child. And it is even worse news for Lapland UK fans, as according to the experience's website it is fully sold out for this Christmas at both the Ascot and Manchester sites. There are other Christmas events that are yet to release tickets - such as Hyde Park Winter Wonderland in London. And other popular Christmas events still have a lot of availability, like Hogwarts in the Snow for example. The event will run from November 15 to January 18, 2026 and costs from £56 per person. However, the extremely popular adult-only Yule Ball at the attraction is sold out. The Christmas event with dinner in the Great Hall runs on December 8, 9 and 10. The tickets usually cost £275 per person and sell out within hours of going on sale. What is LaplandUK like? THE Sun's Caroline Iggulden headed to LaplandUK last Christmas - here's what she thought… LaplandUK promises to transport children on a magical Christmas adventure without need of a plane or even flying sleigh. Nestled in Whitmoor Forest near Ascot, Berkshire, even the walk through the car park manages to be exciting with lights twinkling in the trees as you approach the cluster of Finnish-style cabins at this magical destination in the woods. It is the fine details that really set this woodland wonderland apart. From the miniature doorways, just for 'small folk' to use, to the beautifully fashioned individualised costumes worn by all the elves- and the big man himself-details are styled to perfection. And the experience of meeting Father Christmas is a far cry from a quick grip and grin at the shopping centre. It was pure joy to watch their jaws drop when Santa started congratulating them on recent achievements and quoting small details about them, thanks to an online form you fill in about each child before you go. Whilst LaplandUK is not a cheap day out, it certainly comprises many activities which would add up considerably for a family of five if you did them separately over the holidays. We enjoyed a top-notch theatre show experience, crafting, skating, a grotto visit and the children came away with two beautiful toys and a lot of amazing memories. TUI is also launching 'extreme day trips' to Lapland from 11 UK airports – including first-time regional base. Plus, one person quit their job and remortgaged their home to make the UK's own Lapland – people said it was a midlife crisis but biz is booming.

Mirror Daily Digest: Our top stories from top BBC star in 'penis picture' scandal to emergency alert full details
In this Thursday's Mirror Daily Digest, we've pulled together the biggest stories of the day from the BBC 'penis picture' scandal to what to expect from the government's emergency alert test Welcome to the Mirror's Daily Digest, where we pull together all the best stories of the day from our News, Showbiz, Sport teams and more. This Thursday, we're featuring everything from the BBC being embroiled in a fresh scandal to more details surrounding the government emergency alert. This morning, it was revealed that the BBC had reportedly been hit with another scandal as a top female presenter is alleged to have shown a 'penis picture' to a junior staff member, leaving them in tears. Elsewhere, we've uncovered all you need to know about the upcoming government emergency alert and revealed explosive new claims about Prince Andrew BBC presenter 'showed penis picture' to junior staff member in fresh scandal This morning, news broke that the BBC had reportedly been hit with another scandal - a top female presenter is alleged to have shown a 'penis picture' to a junior member of staff, leaving them in tears. The star is alleged to have revealed an image of a man's penis on her phone during a casual conversation. Insiders claim the star, who is listed among the BBC's 50 highest-paid employees, asked the young staff member an inappropriate question before showing the picture. The young producer was said to have been "horrified and in tears" over the encounter. It is unknown whose private parts were in the picture. Bosses were alerted about the encounter, and the presenter was brought into a private meeting where she was told to apologise for her actions. The crisis has been described as a "ticking time bomb" by staff at the BBC, fearing there could be a widespread fallout if the presenter's identity became public. Emergency alert will go off on millions of phones - 'spread the word' As the UK gears up for one of the 'biggest safety exercises in UK history', our Politics team have uncovered more details about the emergency alert. In a month's time Brits have been urged to brace themselves for a loud alarm from their mobile phones in a national drill. The system will be tested at 3pm on Sunday, September 7, with millions of phones receiving a message warning of danger to life nearby. Mobiles on 4G and 5G networks will vibrate and emit a loud siren for around 10 seconds - even if they are set on silent, and also see a test message appear on screens, making it clear the alert is a drill. The public won't need to do anything, just swipe the message away or click 'OK' on the phone home screen. The test will be just the second of its kind and follows a government pledge to test the system regularly to make sure the alarm works and get the public used to it. Prince Andrew 'slept with more than a dozen women in first year of marriage' This Thursday, our Royal team has been covering explosive Prince Andrew claims revealed in a new royal book. According historian Andrew Lownie, Prince Andrew 'slept with more than a dozen women' in the first year of his marriage to Sarah Ferguson. The biography of the Duke and Duchess of York alleges Fergie wanted to be 'The One' but enjoyed several affairs of her own with 'reckless abandon'. Lownie, who has written several acclaimed books on the royal family, details claims the York's troubled marriage was riddled with infidelity. Within weeks of their lavish wedding in 1986, Fergie is said to have realised the marriage was a mistake as they had few mutual interests. And, with Andrew regularly away on Navy duty, it has been claimed that she embarked on numerous flings. Fury as small boat detentions begin amid threat of human rights legal challenges As the first wave of detentions of small boat arrivals set to be returned to France began this Thursday, human rights groups voiced their outrage. Campaigners have hinted they are weighing up a legal challenge over the new returns agreement - which will see people who made the dangerous Channel crossing kicked out. The Home Office said those taken into detention after arriving in Kent yesterday are expected to be sent back to France within a fortnight. In exchange people with a legitimate case to settle in the UK - who have never attempted a small crossing - will be admitted in their place. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper branded the first wave of detentions an "important step forward". But Steve Smith, chief executive of refugee charity Care4Calais said the group is "keeping all our options open" on challenging the scheme. This Morning's Josie Gibson 'skint' as she moves 'back into caravan' Our Showbiz team were tuned into GMB this morning as Josie Gibson appeared on the ITV show to talk about her new TV project. Josie, known for hosting ITV's This Morning, has been busy filming a new series, Josie Gibson's Big Country Build, which sees her renovate her Somerset home into an eco-friendly haven, with the help of her loved ones. A promotional video for the new seven-part series was shown on GMB, in which Josie shared the reality of taking on such a big construction project, admitting it has left her "skint". During her interview, she also spoke of the challenges she's faced working so closely with her family and friends on the renovation. Ranvir kicked things off by pointing out, "You know what, you used to live in a caravan before all of this, and now, just a few years later, you've bought this enormous house. You're a great British success story, Josie!" However, Josie admitted: "Well, I'm moving back into a caravan, I don't know about that!"

In addition, the town is hosting Boardmasters festival, 55,000 extra visitors in the area, clogging up all the roads for miles around. "Newquay population is 21,500 + 70,000 holidaymakers + festival = chaos." Away from the roads, punters heading to the festival by train should also expect disruption.

CrossCountry said: "Boardmasters Festival is located in Newquay, and you can get to Newquay station easily with CrossCountry. "The simplest way to get to Newquay using CrossCountry services is to change at Plymouth station. "From Newquay station, shuttles run to the festival every fifteen minutes on Wednesday, August 6. "Using the CrossCountry network, we expect Plymouth station to be the busiest connecting station. "We expect festival attendees to be travelling through Plymouth on Wednesday, August 6, and Thursday, August 7, and again on Monday, August 11, when passengers are travelling home. "If you are travelling around Plymouth on these days, services may be slightly busier than usual." What is Boardmasters? Boardmasters is an annual music and surf festival that takes place in Newquay, Cornwall. The event has taken place since 1981 and started as a Surf competition. It usually takes place over the span of five days and was cancelled in 2019 and 2020 due to poor weather and the Covid-19 pandemic respectively. Owned and managed by Vision Nine Group, the event offers day passes and camping wristbands. Notable headliners include Ed Sheeran, Snoop Dogg, Gorillaz, Florence + The Machine, Liam Gallagher, and The 1975.
