Kellogg's is launching a new chocolate Corn Flake flavour
The beloved item was first introduced in 2013 and shoppers fell in love.
Writing on Facebook, one social media user described them as the: "Best Corn Flakes ever!!"
Another wrote: "Yay! Choco Corn Flakes! Two of my favourites in one!"
However, despite its popularity, it was axed in the same year.
At the start of 2024, the cereal made a surprise return, much to the delight of fans.
The morning meal was rolled out across Tesco superstores and was sold for £3.29 for a 450g box.
But in May of this year, Kellogg's issued a mass recall of the cereal following fears customers could choke on the food or damage their teeth.
Following some consumer complaints, the company found that a small proportion of batches could contain "hard lumps" that do not break down when eaten with milk.
This means there is a risk it could potentially cause dental damage or be a choking hazard.
The warning applies to all 450g packs with date codes from December 6, 2024 to April 28, 2025.
Chocolate cornflakes pulled from shelves (1)
The cereal has not been spotted on shelves since, but rumours have been swirling online that it was due to make a return next week.
Shoppers were really excited when they spotted the rumour, with one customer writing: "glad to hear it".
But The Sun reached out to Kellogg's who confirmed that the cereal would not be returning to shelves any time soon.
It will come as a blow to excited shoppers who said their "life was complete" the last time it made an appearance on supermarket shelves.
And it's not the first time Kellogg's has waved goodbye to a beloved snack.
Last summer the food giant axed All Bran Golden Crunch, in a blow to shoppers.
OTHER AXED CEREAL
And it's not only Kellogg's which has pulled the trigger on a number of popular morning foods.
Weetabix confirmed earlier this month that Alpen cereal bars have now permanently disappeared from supermarket shelves.
Tesco left shoppers heartbroken when it confirmed it was no longer making its own-brand apricot wheats.
Nestle also said last summer it was no longer making Cheerios Vanilla O's, leading to heartbreak.
The giant also delivered another blow to shoppers when it confirmed that Golden Grahams cereal was not making a comeback.
Golden Grahams were popular in the 80s and 90s but were discontinued in 2021.

Houseplants will ‘bloom for years' thanks to common item in your food bin – and peace lilies find it ‘so tasty'
IF you often struggle to keep your houseplants alive (don't worry, we do too), then you've come to the right place. There's nothing worse than someone giving you a houseplant and just days later, it's looking worse for wear. 3 3 But now, luckily for you, we've found a handy hack that will ensure your plants bloom for years. And fear not, you won't have to nip out and splash the cash on pricey fertiliser - in fact, the secret may even be in your food bin. Peace lilies in particular are said to find this trick 'so tasty', so if you want to ensure repeat blooming, this homemade feed is one you won't want to miss. When it comes to caring for peace lilies, it is important to only feed them once a month during the growing season, which is spring and summer. It turns out that overfeeding can be harmful, so it's important to avoid excess fertiliser. And now, gardening enthusiasts have shared a super simple homemade fertiliser - and the key ingredient is banana peels. Taking to the Gardening Hints and Tips Facebook page, an anonymous user explained: 'In the summer, I feed my houseplants with a homemade banana soak. 'My peace lily loves it, just thought I'd share it in case anyone is struggling. 'I've always struggled to get my peace lilies looking good, but bananas make them bloom for years.' The gardening guru then added: 'Once I've eaten a banana or given it to my dog, I'll chop the peel and soak it in some warm water. Gardening hacks to grow fruit from your weekly shop 'After a few days, pour sparingly on your plants, so tasty for them.' The social media post attracted numerous comments from other houseplant enthusiasts, who also praised the effective banana peel trick. *If you click a link in this boxout, we may earn affiliate revenue Nick Grey, Gtech Inventor and CEO shared the tasks to crack on with as Spring arrives. 1. Clean your garden Make sure to clear away all leaves, soil and plant debris from your patios and flower beds; this creates a healthier environment for new growth, especially as we get into the summer months. Gtech's Garden Safety Kit includes durable gardening gloves and safety glasses; perfect for comfortability whilst tackling those outdoor tasks. 2. Weeding Early Spring is the best time to tackle weeds; if you can introduce some regular weeding into your routine, you can guarantee a tidy garden all year round. 3. Hedge maintenance Spring is the ideal time to tidy up overgrown hedges and shrubs, as regular trimming ensures healthy growth and reduces pest issues. Using a tool like the Gtech Lightweight Hedge Trimmer can help to keep your greenery looking sharp and neat. 4. Composting Starting a compost heap this spring is a pro-active, cost-effective way to harness nutritious soil for your plants and recycle organic waste that will benefit the overall health of your greenery and foliage. 5. Look after your lawn Lawn care is hugely important in assuring your garden stays looking beautiful. Make sure to rake away any excess leaves and trim your grass routinely. One user beamed: 'Heard lots about this, so I gave it a go. I only use it now and again and then a proper feed in between, but it's fantastic.' Whilst a second chimed in: 'All houseplants love this, not just peace lilies, but be careful not to over water.' According to houseplant enthusiasts, soaking banana peels in water releases nutrients such as potassium, phosphorus and magnesium, which are beneficial for many houseplants, but peace lilies in particular. It is crucial to dilute the banana water with water to make it last longer and ensure it doesn't overwhelm the plant. 8 must-have plants to brighten up your garden Nick Hamilton owner of Barnsdale Gardens has shared his favourite plants and flowers you should consider adding to your garden, borders and pots. Tricyrtis A spectacular plant that gives a real exotic feel to any garden with its orchid-like, spotted flowers giving the impression that this plant should be tender but it is 'as tough as old boots!'. Penstemon I love this plants genus of because most will flower all summer and autumn. They'll grow in sun or semi-shade in a well drained soil and produce a non-stop display of tubular flowers in an array of colours and colour combination to suit all tastes. Luzula sylvatica 'Marginata' With the evergreen leaves edged with yellow it's great asset is that it will grow in sun or shade in any type of soil and is great as groundcover in the hardest spot to fill - dry shade. Eryngium x zabelii 'Big Blue' A stunning, nectar-rich plant that will feed the beneficial insects in your garden. Leave the flowerheads once they have turned brown because they look stunning with winter frost and snow, extending the plant's interest period. Sarcococca hookeriana 'Winter Gem' If you need winter scent then look no further than this compact, evergreen shrub. The scent is stunning and the evergreen leaves create an excellent backdrop for the summer flowers. Cornus sanguinea 'Anny's Winter Orange' A dwarf version of 'Midwinter Fire' the very colourful stems create a stunning winter display, particularly on sunny days. Rosa 'Noisette Carnee' A very well-behaved climbing rose that is perfect for training over an arch, pergola or gazebo. The small, 'noisette' flowers are blush-pink and produce the most amazing clove scent constantly from June to November. Sanguisorba hakusanensis 'Lilac Squirrel' I've never seen a squirrel with a drooping, shaggy lilac tail, but this variety will give your garden an unusual and different look throughout summer. It does need a moisture retentive soil but will grow in sun or semi-shade. Not only this, but banana peels can also be used to fertilise outdoor plants, including tomatoes, bell peppers, roses and hydrangeas. If planting a new plant, you should simply scatter some banana peels beneath the compost, or place them around the top of the soil. Not only will this be beneficial to your plants, but it can also help to deter pests such as slugs, who hate rough surfaces.

Five 1920s Scottish household objects you won't see in modern homes
The Daily Record has looked back at houses in Scotland 100 years ago. The 1920s may seem like a long time ago. However, in the grand scheme of things, 100 years is the blink of an eye. Journeying back a century in time, there are many things about Scotland that have changed and many things that have stayed the same.

However, one way to get a small glimpse into the past is to look at the household objects that were common at the time. Technology has advanced hugely since the 1920s, but Scots back then weren't so different to us today. The Daily Record has put together a small roundup of common household objects you may have found in Scotland 100 years ago. From marbles to old-fashioned sewing machines, it is fascinating to see what Scots used all those years ago. Read on for five 1920s Scottish household objects you probably won't see in modern homes.
