Party Rings biscuits are getting a drastic new look after 42 years
Since 1983, a buffet table at a child's party hasn't been complete without a plate full of brightly coloured ring-shaped biscuits.
Party Rings burst onto the biscuit scene 42 years ago and the icing topped shortcakes have proved a hit with kids and adults alike ever since.
Over the last four decades, the iconic sweet and crunchy treat has changed ever so slightly, with Fox's Burton's Companies (FBC – the company behind the brand), launching mini and chocolate versions of the biscuits.
But for the very first time in its history, Party Rings just got a brand new shape – and it's not round.
The iced biscuits have been re-shaped to look like fish in new Party Rings Under The Sea Minis.
Sold in a multi-pack of six mini bags, the biscuits are available now in Asda for £1.50.
Speaking about the launch, Davina Valetti the marketing controller of Party Rings said: 'Under the Sea Minis is an exciting milestone for the Party Rings brand. It's not every day you change something that's been loved for over 40 years – but we think people are going to be pleased what we've done.
'We're still bringing the party, just with a fun new twist.'
This isn't the only change that's been made either, as the brand also recently started making a limited-edition Strawberry flavour. These can be found in Home Bargains, Farm Foods, Poundland and Iceland for 90p per pack.
Shoppers are already going wild over the new look Party Rings after snaps of the packs were shared on social media, hailing them 'cute' and 'adorable'.
On Facebook, on the Snack News & Reviews page, people were quick to say they would 'love' to try the biscuits. Helen Marshall claimed they'd be perfect as a snack on a seaside holiday, as Lisa Sims wrote: 'OMG these are too cute.'
'I know a little girl who would love these,' proclaimed Kirsty Moore, and Seana Deacon shared: 'Need to get a few packs of these'. More Trending
Elsewhere on Facebook, some were baffled by the new shape and the choice to still call them 'Party Rings'.
Jade Delbridge-Bays pointed out: 'They're not really party rings they're party fish.' And Nick Dunger agreed, commenting: 'But they aren't ring-shaped. I'm confused.'
Cara Love wasn't very impressed with the new product, saying: 'So sad, they look terrible. Bring back Mini Party Rings.'

But not all those who were sceptical were opposed to trying them, with Liz Goff adding: 'Omg that's not party rings… but I might still have to get some to check them out.'

B&M shoppers are wishing they knew about 'genius' £2 item sooner
Holidaymakers swear by the 'brilliant' £2 B&M item that's so 'genius' people are annoyed they didn't think of it first Most sunseekers will agree that a relaxing holiday is just as much about the hotel as it is about the destination. Beautiful sandy beaches often feature high on the checklist, but so does a nice hotel room. Relaxing on your balcony after a day at the beach is pure bliss. For many holidaymakers, it's the perfect time to enjoy a glass of wine or a similar tipple. Well, one B&M shopper has found a £2 hack that made her recent hotel stay that much better, and she amazed social media users after sharing the "genius" tip online. Posting on TikTok, blogger Amy Hobbs @amyhobbsss impressed thousands of viewers with her idea. "Holiday hack: bring a cheap plastic wine glass with you (£2 from B&M) so you can enjoy a crisp rosé on the balcony not in a mug from the room," she wrote. In her video, Amy showcased B&M's £2 wine glass, and she enjoyed a glass of rosé as she sat on her balcony, taking in the view. Clearly impressed by her results, her caption said: "Wish someone told me to do this sooner!" Social media users echoed this sentiment, and they couldn't believe they'd not thought of the idea before. While some commenters suggested asking the bar for a glass and ice, Amy claimed she'd asked the staff, but they declined to give her a glass. Praising the idea, a viewer replied: "Omg this is genius!" A second social media user said: "Brilliant idea." Another fan commented: "Ok this is so simple that I'm actually annoyed that I hadn't thought of it. Genius!! Added to holiday list! Thank you!" Someone else shared: "I always do this." A different viewer said they use a folding wine glass from Asda. Sharing another recommendation, a holidaymaker added: "I take mines and fancy straws to enjoy a cocktail." Elsewhere, a fan of the idea tagged a friend, writing: "Should decorate them one night before we go and make our playlist." Amy replied: "This sounds like a dream!" Most retailers offer a selection of drinkware for shoppers keen to use the trick. B&M's website advertises a Simply Summer Colour Wine Glass 4pk—Blue, which is currently on offer for £1.25. Other options include a Palm House Embossed Wine Glass - Green for £2 or a Scallop Wine Glass - Pink for £3. There's also a £2 Crackle Wine Glass, which is likely the glass Amy showcased in her video. B&M shoppers can locate their nearest store here. Drinkaware reminds us that regular consumption of alcohol can increase the likelihood of various health issues, including several types of cancer. To keep the risk low, adults should drink no more than 14 units per week, spread out with drink-free days.
