Aldi Australia finally brings back fan favourite snack: 'This is the most excited I've ever been'
Discount supermarket chain Aldi has relaunched their fan-favourite butter chicken 'naanwich' - sending foodies into a frenzy on social media.
The tasty treat first hit shelves in 2019 and was an instant hit among shoppers who snapped up boxes until sold out.
A play on words, the 'naanwich' is a unique sandwich featuring lashings of creamy butter chicken served between pieces of naan bread.
The snack, which has been described by Aldi as being 'like a taco but better', is priced $4.99 and comes in a two-pack serving.
After discovering that these cult snacks are now back on shelves, one Tiktok 's video has gone viral, amassing a staggering 346 thousand views in two days.
Labelling herself an 'Aldi enthusiast' on her social media account, Gemma couldn't contain her excitement at getting her hands on a pack – which comes with two servings.
'This is possibly the most excited I've ever been for an Aldi product,' she announced.
'I was worried this wasn't going to be a good butter chicken, but this is a big slay. I need to go stock up on these.'

After a quick 45 seconds in the microwave, the naanwich is ready to eat -with your fingers or with cutlery like Gemma if it's a bit too hot.
When Aldi first ever posted a photo of the 'naanwich' to its Facebook page it was flooded with thousands of comments from customers instantly wanting to know more.
The post accumulated more than 6,000 likes and as many 30,000 comments with many saying they'd tried the 'naanwich' and found it 'delicious'.
'I bought these and they're actually really good. Easiest and quickest dinner or lunch solution' wrote one person.
'This is basically how I already ate my butter chicken but God damn now it's made easier,' said another.
'I have tried these,' a third said. 'They are absolutely delicious.'
Now, thanks to popular demand, shoppers can head back in to stock back up on the popular snack while stocks last as Aldi has not confirmed if these will be available permanently in future.
The ultimate comfort food whilst battling against that winter chill, this product does exactly what is says on the packet.
'Don't walk, run to Aldi because this naanwich I think has changed my life,' said Gemma.

Elon Musk gets more time to respond to US SEC lawsuit over Twitter stake
June 5 (Reuters) - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has given Elon Musk six more weeks to respond to its civil lawsuit accusing the world's richest person of waiting too long in 2022 to reveal his large stake in Twitter, the social media company he later bought and renamed X. In a filing in federal court in Washington, D.C., the SEC and Musk agreed to push back the deadline for Musk's response to July 18 from June 6, calling it "reasonable and in the interest of conserving judicial resources." The SEC has said Musk's 11-day delay in disclosing his initial 5% Twitter stake let him to buy more than $500 million of the company's shares at artificially low prices, at the expense of unsuspecting investors. The agency's lawsuit seeks to force Musk to pay a civil fine and give up profits he didn't deserve.

Do Trump's hardline tariffs and travel bans put off Brits from visiting the US?
Tariffs, travel bans, mass firings – if there's one thing you can be sure about with Donald Trump, it's that he'll make news. Constantly . That's even the case here in the UK, where most of his decisions have no direct impact. But is all that coverage having an effect on Brits hopping across the pond for a vacation? If you look at the dry numbers from the US National Travel and Tourism Office, you might think the answer is no. In January, the month of Trump's second inauguration, the number of UK visitors to the US was 5% higher than the previous January. February and April also saw more Brits going to the US than the same months in 2024, suggesting that far from putting people off, we may even be more keen to visit the country when it's run by Trump. ABTA, the British trade association for the travel industry, tells a similar tale. They 'haven't seen any significant changes in terms of UK-US travel post-Trump administration', a spokesperson told Metro, with 'no noticeable shifts away' from the States. But that may not be the full story. Australia-based tour company Intrepid Travel offers small-group trips to destinations as diverse as Nepal, the Galápagos Islands, Antarctica – and the United States. However, the latter has had a significant fall in interest over the past five months, with bookings from UK customers down 12%. That decline appears to be driven by one age group in particular: 21 to 30-year-olds, with whom bookings have fallen by almost a quarter. There was less of an impact for customers above that age bracket. Joanna Reeve, Intrepid's General Manager for the UK & Ireland, told Metro: 'While there is no way to know for sure what is causing the dip, negative perception of the US under the new administration could be playing a part in people's travel choices. 'New immigration rules and travel restrictions could be off-putting for potential visitors.' The country still remains popular overall, she said. According to the Office for National Statistics, the US was the sixth most popular country visited by UK residents in 2023 – though it wasn't far off Portugal and Greece in fifth and fourth place respectively. A survey for ABTA taken in summer last year – before Trump was elected, but while the presidential election campaign was in full swing – found the US came third after only Spain and France when people were asked where they planned to visit in the next 12 months. Even those who disagree with the direction of the Trump administration might want to consider visiting the US in order to mitigate its impact, Joanna suggested. She said: 'There are ways to travel there in a way that supports local people, like through supporting indigenous-led experiences. More Trending 'We're also encouraging people to visit and support the National Parks as they are facing huge cuts to their funding.' Interestingly, the attitude of young travellers with Intrepid – if they are indeed being put off by Trump – does not appear to reflect the broader UK. An Ipsos poll from just before Inauguration Day in January found 18 to 34-year-olds were the most likely age group in the UK to have a favourable view of the US President. However, 47% of Brits between those ages still disliked him compared to 31% who felt the opposite. Those aged 35 to 54 were 64% unfavourable, while 72% of those aged 55 or over felt the same.

Vinted pro reveals 'sneaky' trick to help flog clothes you're struggling to sell
A professional Vinted seller has revealed the one nifty trick she uses to help flog hard-to-shift items on the app. Caroline, who hails from the UK, boasts 213,000 followers on TikTok where she regularly shares her top tips for aspiring vendors. The 49-year-old, who has made thousands on the app, introduced the video by describing the 'genius hack' she uses to cash in on unsold items. She explained at the beginning of the clip - which now has 15,000 views - that she had already sold three pieces that day and was preparing to send them. But before making her way to the Post Office, she will periodically scan the app to see if any of her listings have been favourited. Then she will contact interested buyers to see if she can entice them into making a purchase, telling them she can post items imminently if they buy. 'I will write a message saying, "I will be doing a parcel run this afternoon. If you are still interested in this item, I can post this out to you today so you'll get it super quick",' she explained. 'Then, I'll copy and paste that same message to everyone else who has favourited items yet to be sold.' The nifty trick helps her nudge transactions which would have otherwise gone unsold, Caroline claimed, adding that it was 'highly likely' that at least one person would bite. In previous videos, the thrifty seller said she once made £400 on the app in just one day. Several commenters agreed with the advice. 'I've done exactly this for about a month now,' one said. A second chimed: 'Great idea! Sneaky, but great! Others remarked that they also used the trick, with one gushing that they had sold five items doing so. Meanwhile, not everyone agreed, with one saying that they developed the 'ick' after sellers contacted them about a favourited item. Another admitted that they couldn't 'think of anything worse'. Caroline isn't the only successful secondhand seller to have cashed in on the Vinted train. Maisie, from Yorkshire, has amassed thousands of pounds selling garments and trinkets she's discovered at cat boot sales, charity shops and online pre-loved websites. Although it started off as a side hustle, she has now made reselling her full time career last year after earning £18,000 from flogging clothes. Now, she has helped others by telling them how they too can make a wage from the app - and according to her, it's very simple. Maisie said: 'I absolutely love buying on Vinted to resell on Vinted. It's so easy and it just goes to show the difference that a good quality picture with good lighting and a good background can honestly make.' She says that you should always list similar clothes sizes at the same time on Vinted, as people may browse your page and find other items that they like, resulting in more sales. Several commenters agreed with the advice 'They're more likely to get their money's worth by buying a bundle from you so it will boost your sales and your profit at the same time,' Maisie added. 'You're only having to ship out one parcel and the buyer is only having to pay one lot of postage and fees.' The seller said wannabe sellers also have to be careful about how they draft listings on Vinted - as sometimes a post can appear as though it was shared earlier than it was. In another clip, the reselling expert explained: 'If you draft something and then a week later you decide to hit live and publish it, it won't show as a new listing. It will show when you drafted it, which was a week ago. 'It will come up older in the listings, it won't show up at the top, it will show up as being a week old which will affect how people are looking at your listings because a lot of people will search for newest first.' Recently, Maisie revealed how she sold a dress for more than four times what she paid for it. She purchased a WoolOvers boho linen dress for just £3.30 on Vinted as part of a bundle from a seller. Maisie then ended up reselling it on eBay for a whopping £20.46.
