M&S shoppers go wild for new strawberry products after sell-out sandwich
Marks & Spencer fans are excited after hearing news of the retailer's newest summer strawberry offerings, after the flurry of intrigue around its Red Diamond strawberry and creme sandwich. The coveted sandwich has been a sell-out hit among shoppers keen to sample the blend of sweetened bread, fresh strawberries and lightly whipped cream cheese.
Now, the popular retail chain has delighted customers with news of more strawberry-themed sweet treats, from cheesecake to lemonade. M&S is an iconic staple on the British high street, despite its humble beginnings as a market stall. Founded in Leeds in 1884, the beloved store maintains its relevancy with a product line renowned for its high quality.
There's something for everyone, with on-trend fashion and clothing options for all ages, as well as accessories, homeware and furniture.
Shoppers can also fill their cupboards and fridges at M&S's Foodhalls, where there's a vast array of in-house food and drink, branded products and much more.
Like its high street competitors, M&S optimises social media to connect with customers, offering regular updates and sneak peeks of all the newest product arrivals and releases.
The retail chain boasts a string of popular Instagram accounts for its multiple departments.
A recent post, which features presenters Emma Willis and Rochelle Humes, details a new line-up of similar products for those who've yet to get their hands on the sandwich, or crave another sweet fix.
In the footage, Emma and Rochelle sample and rate items like a punnet of Red Diamond strawberries; strawberry lemonade - which they branded a 'banger' and a 'winner' - strawberries and cream 'mini bites' made with 'clusters of cornflakes, shortcake biscuits, marshmallow and dried strawberries'; and a cheesecake.
Towards the clip's conclusion, Rochelle declared: 'Honestly, I didn't think I could love strawberries anymore.'
In the caption accompanying the footage, Emma Willis penned: 'Tennis season is here, and we know you've all been getting berry excited about THAT viral Marks and Spencer Food sandwich this week... so what better time for us to try some of their other iconic strawberries & cream themed launches for summer!
'Up first, this fabulous fruity Collection Red Diamond Strawberry Lemonade is the perfect serve on warm summer days.
'Then we have these iconic Strawberries & Cream Mini Bites which are ace if you love those classic flavours of Eton Mess!'
Emma then added: 'And if you fancy playing doubles with your two favourite desserts, it's got to be the new Victoria Sponge Cheese-Cake - soft sponge cake topped with strawberry jam, Madagascan vanilla cheesecake and a berry glaze.
'We reckon that's game, set and MATCH for us!!'

Nuno Borges says Wimbledon blocked Portugal shirt as tribute to Diogo Jota
Instead he wore a black ribbon pinned to his hat during Friday's third-round match against Karen Khachanov, but said his team had initially pushed for a more visible tribute. 'I know Wimbledon is usually not very flexible with attire,' Borges told the PA news agency. 'But I was told we could still do something to pay our respects for what happened, so I think it was a nice gesture. 'He was a great footballer. It was a tragedy.' Borges, who lost a five-set thriller, said his agent contacted Wimbledon about the idea of wearing a Portugal shirt, and even tried to source a white version to comply with dress rules, but it was not approved. 'We initially talked about getting a full jersey to walk on court,' he said. 'I even tried to find one in white, but it was turned down, so we ended up doing something a little smaller.' Asked if Wimbledon should have allowed the shirt, he said: 'I think that's what makes Wimbledon special and different from every other Slam, so I really don't know.' Wimbledon relaxed its 148-year-old dress code in light of Jota's death, allowing players to wear black ribbons or armbands. Borges was among several players who did, including fellow Portuguese doubles player Francisco Cabral. Cabral, who wore a ribbon on his shirt sleeve during a doubles match with Lucas Miedler, said: 'Yesterday the idea of wearing a black strap came up – that was not allowed. 'I asked for permission to use the black ribbon and they let me play with it.' He described it as 'an honour', adding: 'It was not for the best reason – he was an inspiration not only for me but for the country in general. 'He made so much in the sport and conquered so much in my life. If I helped 1% for the family I will be super happy.' Cabral and Miedler lost their second-round match in straight sets to Czech pair Petr Nouza and Patrik Rikl. Wimbledon's dress code has long restricted visible colour on court, and tributes are rarely granted. The gesture marked a rare moment of flexibility from organisers, after the deaths of Jota and his brother Andre Silva, who were killed in Spain while travelling to catch a ferry to England. British doubles player and Liverpool fan Neal Skupski had also taken a black armband for his match on Thursday, but opted not to wear it after learning of the death of his grandmother shortly after coming off court. He said he may wear one 'in the next couple of days'.
