Squashies fans will be treated to bold new shapes and fresh new flavours with the launch of Squashies Tropical and Squashies Sour Shooting Stars.
The exciting new goodies will hit the shelves in major retailers and convenience stores from June 1.
They're sure to fly off the shelves with both new products priced at just £1.15.
Squashies Tropical will feature fun and fruity parrot, pineapple and watermelon shapes in mango and passionfruit and watermelon flavours.
Sour Shooting Stars is the second addition to the new Squashies line-up.
It will feature the tempting sour flavour combinations of pink lemonade, starfruit and peach and cola and lime in cute shooting star shapes.
Swizzels senior brand manager, Clare Lynch, said: "This really is breaking news as we introduce new shapes and flavour combinations to our iconic Squashies range with the addition of Squashies Tropical and Squashies Sour Shooting Stars.
"Sour and tropical flavours are trending this year, and we're excited to bring Squashies fans new shapes in these popular flavours that add an extra element of fun and are sure to make an impact.
"We hope these exciting, on-trend new treats will help people to see the Squashies side of life this summer!'
If you're keen on getting your hands on the new Squashies, fans can head to Manchester on June 5.
People are only just realising that the 'key' sweet in Haribo favourites is something else & admit they're 'unsettled'
The Squashies team will be handing out free samples.
Fans will also be able to sample the new treats at other events and cities throughout the summer.
Swizzels also launched a new flavoured Refreshers bar this month to celebrate 70 years of the classic sweet.
Shoppers have been racing to their nearest supermarket to get their hands on the new Tropical chew bar, featuring mango and pineapple flavours.
And if that wasn't enough, B&M created a frenzy recently after slashing the price of giant tubs of Swizzels sweets to just £1.
The 650g tubs include all the Swizzel sweet shop favourites and classics.
This includes Drumstick Squishies, Refreshers, Fruity Pops, Love hearts, Fizzers and Double Lollies.
Sweet lovers were also going wild after snack-maker Mars revealed a tantalising new flavour earlier this month.
Skittles Citrus contains five new flavours: Orange, Lemon, Lime, Mandarin and Blood Orange.
They're now available at big supermarkets, grocery stores and corner shops across the country.
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs...
Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars.
Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.

The game in question is XDefiant, which was set in the Ubisoft universe with map locations based on several of the firm's biggest titles. It appears the decision to axe the title was because it failed to become profitable. "Many free-to-play games take a long time to find their footing and become profitable," Mark Rubin, the game's executive producer said. "It's a long journey that Ubisoft and the teams working on the game were prepared to make until very recently. "But unfortunately, the journey became too much to sensibly continue." He also tweeted in April that the whole team behind it were laid off. New downloads and purchases were already blocked in December when news of XDefiant's closure was first announced. Existing users have been able to continue playing on PlayStation, Xbox and PC but now the final nail in the coffin is here. Ubisoft is switching off the servers on Tuesday ending the game forever.

"Man this game was so fun, its sad to see it go so early, already have nostalgic feelings," one person wrote on Reddit.

Unity Cup returns after two decades celebrating Black heritage with football

Its been over 20 years since the first Unity Cup and since then it has yet to return however this year that all changed - The friendly competition is back but this time starring more countries than before. This week, four nations with deep roots in the UK brought community, culture and football to Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium for the long-awaited return of the Unity Cup. From steel pans and DJs to flags waving proudly in every direction, this was more than a football cup, it was a full on cultural link up and one that had been missing from the scene for twenty one years. ‌ On Tuesday 27th May, Jamaica's Reggae Boyz beat Trinidad and Tobago's Soca Warriors in a fierce Caribbean clash. The following day, Nigeria's Super Eagles edged past Ghana's The Black Stars, securing their place in the final. With the third-place match and final showdown happening on Saturday , fans showed up not just to support their teams but to celebrate community, culture and shared roots. ‌ What is the Unity Cup? The Unity Cup is an international friendly football tournament originally launched in 2004, when teams from Nigeria, Jamaica and Ireland faced off at Charlton Athletic's ground. Then it was a moment, now it's a movement. Two decades later, the tournament returned with clearer purpose: to celebrate the cultural impact of African and Caribbean communities in the UK, particularly in London. Where those communities have helped shape the city's identity through food, music, language and history. ‌ This year's line-up features Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Nigeria and Ghana - four nations chosen for their heritage, their undeniable pride and their presence in the UK's multicultural landscape. From the food we eat, to the rhythms we dance to each of these cultures have left a mark in British identity in countless ways. The Unity Cup is a tribute to that legacy. ‌ Why Brentford? It's no coincidence that the tournament was hosted by Brentford FC. West London is known for its multicultural spirit, and Brentford's commitment to inclusion made it the perfect stage. Just weeks ago, the club was awarded the Premier League 's Intermediate Level for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (PLEDIS), highlighting their work both on and off the pitch - the decision to bring the Unity Cup her shows this wasn't just a football event - it was a celebration designed to reflect the city. From start to finish, the vibes were immaculate. On one end, a steel pan band played sweet melodies throughout the match. On the other, artist performances and DJs kept the energy high, soundtracking the day with bashment, afrobeats, gospel and everything in between. ‌ Crowds were filled out in jerseys and flags, the crowd came with whistles ready. It wasn't just a game - it felt like a mini carnival, with football as the headliner. But beyond the party, there was a powerful undercurrent of unity. Because although every player on that pitch shares a Black identity, the cultural nuances between African and Caribbean communities are deep but the Unity Cup created space for both and what came from that space was a beautiful sight. ‌ Brentford FC and NHS Blood & Transplant also used the event to host a 'Bee A Hero' blood donor drive - encouraging attendees to get their blood type tested and sign up as donors. This wasn't a side initiative. It was central part of what made the Unity Cup feel different and deeply necessary. This is especially important for Black communities, where conditions like sickle cell disproportionately affect lives. It the fastest-growing genetic condition in the UK. It causes excruciating pain, organ damage, and in many cases, lifelong complications. Treatment often relies on blood transfusions - but only 2% of donors in the UK are Black, even though over 55% of Black Londoners have the rare Ro subtype, which is crucial for sickle cell patients. ‌ The Unity Cup didn't just bring people together. It reminded them how they can help keep each other alive. Before the big final, the third-place playoff saw Ghana beat Trinidad & Tobago 4-0, securing the bronze position after dominating both halves. But what most people really came to see is the fight for the first place title - Jamaica vs Nigeria. ‌ The first half saw both teams scoring once, but in the final half the pressure was evident, the tackles were fiercer, the chants were louder - both teams were battling for the crown. The friendly competition started to look not so friendly. But when the final whistle came, both teams had scored twice. Which left no option, but a penalty shootout - all eyes were peeled. In a tense final few minutes, Nigeria came out on top, edging past Jamaica after the Reggae Boyz missed a crucial spot-kick. Whether it was the Reggae Boyz or the Super Eagles lifting the trophy, or you call it plan-tain or plan-tin, the real win was seeing the stands full of colour, culture, and connection in Brentford FC.
