The nostalgic snacks come in different flavours including Raspberry, Cherry and Grapefruit.
Each packet contains six strips of chewy sour candy.
One shopper shared the find on the Facebook group Snack Reviews - and hundreds of people were commenting excitedly.
"Oh my god I haven't eaten them since I was a child! They are amazing!" one person raved.
Another begged their friend: "Please if you ever see these, I will give you the money for 10 packets, I haven't seen these since I was a child."
A third person said: "I remember these from the 80s, only they came in little mesh bags with a little clasp on the end."
And, referencing another blast to the past, another person wrote: "Remind me of the ones used to get in Woolworths in a net as a kid."
Others said they had spotted the sweets on holiday in countries like Spain and Portugal.
The return of the retro sweet
It comes as other supermarkets have also been reintroducing retro sweets.
Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrisons recently brought back the iconic 80s Opal Fruits - a whole 27 years after they were axed.
Nostalgic candy with '50 cent taste' could be wiped from shelves for good after 120 years
The individually wrapped chewy squares were rebranded as Starburst in 1998.
Meanwhile B&M fans were in a frenzy after spotting Horlicks Original Tablets back on shelves.
The chewable version of the malted drink originally launched in the 1930s and was given to troops in WW2 to help boost their energy.
They had disappeared by the time the 2000s came around - but now they're in B&M for £1.75.
Shoppers were also delighted when Sainsbury's brought out a dupe of a classic noughties sweet.
The Rowntree's Bursting Bugs first hit shelves back in 2000 but were later discontinued.
Fans loved their creepy crawly shapes and gooey filling.
Now, Sainsbury's has brought out Bugs & Beetles Sweets that look almost identical.

Mother of the bride sparks fury with dress for daughter's wedding, but says she's fed up being a ‘background player'
A MOTHER of the bride has sparked fury after revealing her dress for her daughter's wedding. Despite the fact the 28-year-old bride told her mum she wanted her to look "elegant and understated" - the latter being the keyword - she opted for a full-length WHITE corset dress. 4 4 4 4 In a post on Facebook, she said her daughter had asked her to wear a "classic and timeless" ensemble, adding "maybe something in navy". "Translation: boring and invisible," she wrote. "She also said she didn't care if I wear something bright. "I've spent so much of my life being the background player in everyone else's story that I almost forgot I deserved to be seen too." The dress is emblazoned with sunflowers on the bodice and all the way down, and has a tulle-style underskirt to make it look even puffier. She added that the gown makes her "feel alive in a way I haven't in years". "The sunflowers are bold and joyful, exactly how I want to feel watching my baby girl say her vows," she said. "But every time I look at it, I hear her voice telling me it's 'too much' for a mother of the bride, that people will think I'm trying to upstage her on her special day." However, she said she can't decided whether or not she's "finally ready to take up space instead of shrinking to make others comfortable". "Maybe it's time to be the sunflower instead of the wallflower?" she concluded. I'm 5ft3 & a size 12-14 - my 7 Tesco dresses are an absolute bargain & perfect for a last-minute wedding guest outfit But the comments section was quickly filled with people taking aim at the woman. "Omg you absolutely cannot wear this to a wedding," one person gasped. "What an interesting time to choose to be seen. "Wear what she is asking, it's HER day!" "I thought this was a wedding dress…" another mused. "Her wedding is about her. Not you," a third insisted. Wedding Guest Outfit Etiquette If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble. Folklore says that wearing red at a wedding means you slept with the groom. Casual attire like jeans and flip flops should always be avoided. Any colour that could be picked up as white or cream - even if it's not. Most would agree that your cleavage needs to be covered. Wearing white is a massive no-no if you're not the bride. "You don't need an excuse to wear what you find beautiful. "HOWEVER, RESPECT your daughters request and wear that particular dress ANOTHER day." "This is a background event for you," someone else agreed. "It's lovely but you don't want people talking about your dress - hers is the one." "I absolutely love this dress but... I'm sorry you should not wear this dress to your daughters wedding," another wrote. "It is HER day to shine and be the main focus not you in this dress that looks like a wedding dress.

Millie Mackintosh's ‘comfiest jeans ever' hail from Kate Middleton's go-to denim brand
Millie Mackintosh hailed her flared 70s-style jeans the 'comfiest jeans ever' and they hail from the same brand that Kate Middleton buys her favourite jeans from Trying to find a pair of jeans that are comfortable, well-fitting and look great can be one of the biggest struggles when it comes to shopping. After countless hours spent sweating in changing rooms trying to find a pair that make you feel great, it's no surprise many of us find shopping for denim one of our least favourite jobs. However Millie Mackintosh might have cracked the code, as she posed in a pair of & Other Stories' High-Waist Flared Jeans on Instagram last week. She praised them as 'The comfiest jeans ever', and it seems the brand might be a winner when it comes to denim as they're also the go-to for Kate Middleton. Princess Kate is a known fan of & Other Stories' Slim Jeans (formerly known as the Favourite Jeans), which are notoriously tricky to get your hands on. The closest style available on the website right now is the Cropped Slim Leg Jeans (£77) which have a similar slim fit that The Princess of Wales favours. Millie's pair, thankfully, are much easier to get your hands on. Her High-Waist Flared Jeans are currently available directly from the & Other Stories website, over at ASOS, and at H&M, where they're priced at £87. The jeans have a classic 70s-inspired fit, with a high waist and flared bootcut leg, and the addition of two patch pockets on the front seals the deal on the retro design. The high waist keeps them comfortable and helps elongate your legs, and the wider legs makes them perfect for wearing with anything from sandals to boots, so you can wear them in every season. They're also made with plenty of stretch, which is what makes them so comfortable that Millie can't stop raving about them. You can pick them up in dark blue, as well as a light ecru colour, which is currently on sale at ASOS down from £87 to £69, and several other colours ways if you shop them at H&M. Other brands have also launched their own version of the 70s-style jeans, with White Stuff's Frankie Flare Jean now on sale for £52, down from £65 and available in sizes six to 24. Marks & Spencer also has the ultra-affordable Patch Pocket Flare High Waisted Jeans for £39.50, with a choice of three different colours and sizes six to 24. For a slimmer fit that keeps the same shape and style, New Look's Blue Patch Pocket Flared Denim Jeans are £39.99 and have a tighter fit around the hips and thighs, before flaring out from the knee. They come in sizes six to 18, with all sizes currently still in stock.
