Home Bargains brings back 'world's biggest' supersize sweet for £5
The budget store has just the thing for shoppers who love traditional sweets
Home Bargains has restocked a £5 product that is sure to delight sweet lovers. As seen on social media, the discount retailer is selling what it is calling the "world's biggest Werther's Original".
Showcasing the supersized product online, Home Bargains displayed the product on its shelves, revealing just how large the £4.99 Star Buy is. Home Bargains' Facebook post said: "The world's biggest Werther's Original (we think) is back in stock!" It received hundreds of likes and plenty of comments.
Responding to the post, one shopper said: "Excellent, my little girl bought this for Grandad last year and I so wanted one myself." Another excited viewer wrote: "Omg."
Someone else tagged their friends, writing: "Look at the size of this beast." In return, the friends replied "unreal" and "class". Others thought the newly restocked product would be ideal for Father's Day gifting.
Unfortunately, some commenters were disappointed to learn that the product is a novelty tin, which holds traditional sweets inside, not a supersized sweet. One such response read: "It's a tub of them not a big one." A similar reply read: "The thing is it's a plastic container that only has 2 bags inside!!!"
The product description on Home Bargains' website states: "Werther's Original Butter Candy novelty shaped tin in traditional sweet wrapper. Filled with 2x 135g bags of Werther's Original butter candies."
In more Home Bargains news, the retailer recently introduced Chick-fil-A sauce as a Star Buy, much to the delight of shoppers. A popular video shared by TikTok user Chloé-Ann (@kmaesthetics_) read: "Omg yes!!! Home Bargains giving us the Chick Fil-A sauce".
The video was posted on Tuesday (May 27), and it has received more than 880k views and hundreds of comments. The fast food chain is famous for its chicken sandwiches and its own line of sauces that customers can buy in bulk bottles to take home.
According to the American website, the classic Chick-fil-A sauce is "a classic dipping sauce with notes of mustard and a smoky tang." Customers couldn't wait to try the dipping sauce, which was priced at £4.79. Replying to the video, someone said: "I'm running." Another fan replied: "Oh my god !!!! Ours from NYC just ran out ………. Best news all week."
A keen shopper wrote: "Omg!!!!! What a bargain. Running there tomorrow." A similar comment read: "Yooo I'm running." Someone else wrote: "I GASPED." Meanwhile, a fan said: "Omg just came back from the US with this I could've saved my suitcase space. It's $3.70 there."
While it looks like Home Bargains only has the original variety of the fast food sauce in stock, the brand offers four more versions. These include Barbecue, Honey Mustard, Polynesian, and Garden Ranch.

Something different to have." It is not the only chocolatey treat on Morrisons' shelves right now. The retailer is selling a giant Toblerone bar that weighs 4.5kg in time for Father's Day. It will be available until Sunday June 15. NEW CHOCOLATE PRODUCTS It comes as Cadbury is launching a new Dairy Milk flavour bar in the UK this month - Dairy Milk Iced Latte. The new bar combines classic Dairy Milk chocolate with a creamy coffee filling and crunchy biscuit pieces. Four limited edition bars have also been introduced, with packaging that changes based on the temperature. The chocolate maker also recently teased the launch of a new Cadbury White Dipped Twirl bar. Details on the new limited edition flavour are thin, although some smaller online retailers are selling it from 99p. Lidl shoppers have been going wild for a new Dubai-style pistachio spread landing on shelves. The Della Sante chocolate cream spread combines the flavours of the insanely popular chocolate but in spreadable form. The pots cost £4.99 or £3.99 for Lidl Plus members.

Award-winning bar & restaurant in UK seaside town to close after 10 years as owner teases ‘it's just the beginning'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUCH-LOVED bar and restaurant is set to close its doors after almost a decade in the heart of the seaside town. Ojo Rojo, located in the Bournemouth Triangle, has announced it will be leaving the area after ten years of serving up tacos, cocktails, and a lively Mexican atmosphere. 4 Ojo Rojo, earned a spot in the UK's Top 50 Cocktail Bars for three years running Credit: Facebook / Ojo Rojo 4 Locals have responded with an outpouring of emotion, sharing memories and messages of support on social media Credit: Facebook / Ojo Rojo 4 From its diverse cocktail menu featuring house-made syrups and infusions, to its proud selection of agave spirits Credit: Facebook / Ojo Rojo Founded in Bournemouth, Dorset, by Trevor Hill and JJ Adams, Ojo Rojo made a name for itself with its bold flavours, mezcal-based drinks, and vibrant setting. It even earned a spot in the UK's Top 50 Cocktail Bars for three years running. The news was first reported by the Bournemouth Echo, who spoke with co-founders Trevor Hill and JJ Adams, confirming the closure is a 'strategic move' shaped by 'national industry pressure and local challenges.' But they've made it clear – this isn't the end. 'After nearly ten years of tacos, mezcal, music and magic, it's time for a new chapter,' they said. 'Ojo Rojo is moving on. Not because we've lost what makes us special but because we're ready to take everything that we've learnt and shape it into something stronger.' Locals have responded with an outpouring of emotion, sharing memories and messages of support on social media. Rachel Grant posted: 'Our first date venue, where will we go for our anniversary now.' Kelly Marie Young added: 'Such a shame! We love this restaurant.' Restaurant chain owned by Michelin-starred chef is on brink of collapse 16 years after it first opened Others praised the team's effort. There's also been frustration about the wider town centre. Ojo Rojo is well known for its dedication to authentic Mexican culture. From its diverse cocktail menu featuring house-made syrups and infusions, to its proud selection of agave spirits, the bar has drawn fans from across the South Coast. 'Our ambition is to revolutionise the well-known taco, while educating people about the deep-rooted Mexican culture,' reads a statement on their website. 'We are passionate that everyone who comes into contact with us feels refreshed.' The venue, which includes a downstairs bar, upstairs dining, and an outdoor hacienda, will continue to operate for a short while longer. Its sister site, Hacienda Harden, is also set to close. The owners remain hopeful and committed to the future. 'You reminded us what this place means to people and why this next chapter matters so much, from me, Jayjay and the whole office thank you so much for all the love,' they said. 'We're here for a little bit longer. Remember we are not done yet… This is just the beginning. "We want to build what comes next with you. Because whatever that next version looks like, it's going to have the same soul – yours.' Ojo Rojo's closure adds to a growing list of businesses shutting their doors in Bournemouth and across the UK. In Bournemouth, the Winton branch of WHSmith closed earlier this year, and the town has seen other high street names disappear amid rising costs and shifting shopping habits. Nationally, the retail and hospitality sectors are facing significant challenges. Department store Beales, which first opened in Bournemouth in 1881, closed its last remaining store in Poole in May 2025, citing increased operational costs and tax burdens. Other notable closures include Karen's Diner in Islington, which shut its final UK branch in June 2025 after its parent company went into liquidation with £400,000 in debt. Fashion retailer River Island is reportedly developing a radical rescue plan amid financial struggles, with store closures and job losses being potential outcomes. The Original Factory Shop is undergoing significant restructuring, with several stores across regions such as Worcestershire, Durham, and Cumbria slated to shut down this month. These closures highlight the broader economic pressures facing UK businesses, including rising operational costs, changing consumer behaviours, and increased competition from online retailers. What is happening to the hospitality industry? By Laura McGuire, consumer reporter MANY Food and drink chains have been struggling in recently as the cost of living has led to fewer people spending on eating out. Businesses had been struggling to bounce back after the pandemic, only to be hit with soaring energy bills and inflation. Multiple chains have been affected, resulting in big-name brands like Wetherspoons and Frankie & Benny's closing branches. Some chains have not survived, Byron Burger fell into administration last year, with owners saying it would result in the loss of over 200 jobs. Pizza giant, Papa Johns is shutting down 43 of its stores soon. Tasty, the owner of Wildwood, said it will shut sites as part of major restructuring plans
