Here are all launches and re-launches set to get shoppers going wild over the coming months. Skittles Citrus 7 Skittles Citrus are making their way onto shelves The Sun exclusively revealed earlier this month the new Skittles Citrus pouches would be hitting shelves this Spring and Summer. The 109g and 136g packs contain five new flavours: Orange, Lemon, Lime, Mandarin and Blood Orange. Mars, which makes the sweets, said the Citrus pouches will be available across all the major supermarkets. However, we only spotted them on sale at Asda currently, where the 136p pouch costs 98p. Some shoppers online say they've found them in smaller convenience stores as well. Tropical Refreshers 7 Swizzels has released a new flavour of its iconic Refreshers bar Swizzels has unveiled a new Tropical Refreshers flavour to mark 70 years since the classic sweet was first launched. The fresh flavour, combining mango and pineapple, is available in stores now. We couldn't see it on sale at the bigger supermarket chains, however you can buy a 20-pack on Amazon for £15. Which chocolate bars have been discontinued in the UK? Shoppers have been quick to share their glee after finding out about the new flavour. Posting on Facebook, one said: "These look like they will taste amazing." While another said: "OMG yesss, I need." Bacardi Breezers 7 Drinking Bacardi Breezers were a right of passage for many 90s and 00s kids Kids from the 90s and 00s will be buzzing to hear Bacardi is launching three new Breezer flavours in supermarkets and convenience shops. Shoppers can pick up the alcopop in three flavours: Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime and Crispy Watermelon. B&M will start stocking them from July, Aldi from August and Sainsbury's from September, priced at £2 per bottle. Bacardi has also said they'll be available in convenience stores from July. Cadbury Dairy Milk Iced Latte 7 Cadbury is launching its new Iced Latte Dairy Milk next month The Sun also exclusively revealed this month Cadbury is launching a new Dairy Milk flavour - Iced Latte. Shoppers will be able to pick up the bar from major retailers from next month. Cadbury is also launching four limited-edition Dairy Milk Summer Edition bars with packaging that changes colour based on temperature. The new chocolate bars will hit shelves in June and be available throughout the summer period for £2 a piece. Cadbury Twirl White Dipped 7 Cadbury has unveiled a new variation on its Twirl bar as well Cadbury is also adding another new chocolate bar to its line up on June 2 - Twirl White Dipped. The bar combines the classic flaked Twirl milk chocolate dipped in white chocolate. The bar is only limited edition though, so you'll want to be quick if you want to grab one when it launches. A price for the new bar is yet to be revealed. White Maltesers 7 Shoppers will not doubt remember white Maltesers Mars is bringing back White Maltesers after they were last seen on shelves 10 years ago. The snack is expected to return to supermarkets and independent stores on June 16. The treat first launched in 2003 but was taken off shelves back in 2014. Since then, social media has been awash with pleas from shoppers calling on them to bring the iconic flavour back. Including comments from punters who said the creamy honeycomb bites were the "best thing" they had ever had. 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 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. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?

Nostalgic alcoholic drink to return to supermarkets this summer after being discontinued 10 years ago
Find out when and where you can buy the nostalgic drink CHEERS TO THAT Nostalgic alcoholic drink to return to supermarkets this summer after being discontinued 10 years ago Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A NOSTALGIC alcopop that was much-loved by clubbers in the 90s and 2000s is returning to supermarket shelves. Ten years after disappearing from British supermarkets and convenience stores, Bacardi Breezers are back. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The Bacardi Breezers will come in the flavours Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime and Crispy Watermelon Credit: Bacardi They'll be coming in the flavours Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime and Crispy Watermelon and will be priced at just £2 a bottle. The fruity alcopops were once a rite of passage for teenagers having their first alcoholic drinks or going clubbing for the first time. Many will have fond memories - and now they'll be able to enjoy the nostalgic drink once again, just in time for the summer. You'll be able to get Bacardi Breezers in major supermarkets and in convenience stores too. They'll be landing in B&M from July, Aldi from August and Sainsbury's from September. Bacardi has said they'll be available in convenience stores from July but some shops have already said they've got the alcopops in stock. They include Stevenston Post Office & Convenience Store in Scotland, USAVE Grocery Store in Carnbroe, Your Store Premier Sinclair Street in Greenock and Premier Express Linwood. The shops have all posted photos of the Breezers on their shelves, with one teasing: "Guess what's back." Bacardi Breezers first launched in 1990 and quickly became a nationwide phenomenon. Alcopops were wildly popular at the time and the competition included Smirnoff Ice, Hooper's Hooch, WKD, and later on VK and Reef. HANGOVER CURE Breezers then disappeared off shelves in 2015, leaving shoppers disappointed. More grown-up flavours like lemon and elderflower were launched in 2019, but the original Breezer flavours haven't been seen in the UK for 10 years. They will now be permanent additions to supermarket shelves, Bacardi has told The Sun. The company has said one of the reasons for the return is "strong demand from a new generation of consumers". Flavoured alcoholic drinks are becoming more popular, particularly among Gen Z. In particular, the pre-mixed Buzzballz have been going viral on TikTok. Bacardi is hoping the Breezers will appeal both to the younger generation and to those who will remember when they were last on shelves. The brand recently brought back another popular alcoholic drink. Patrón XO Cafe, a coffee liqueur drink, was discontinued four years ago - but brought back again in 2024. It's now available to order at 24 branches of The Alchemist across the country, including London, Birmingham and Leeds. What other nostalgic products are being brought back? Bacardi Breezers are just the latest nostalgic products to return to shelves lately. Recently Opal Fruits were brought back a whopping 27 years years after they were axed. The iconic sweets were rebranded as Starburst in 1998. The individually wrapped chewy squares are now available again in Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrisons. Coca-Cola also brought back its Lime-flavoured drink after axing it around 17 years ago. As of December, Farm Foods was selling a pack of eight 330ml cans of the drink. Ocado and Iceland are also currently selling a 1.75litre bottle of Lime Coca-Cola for £2.50 online. Meanwhile, Tesco recently turned the clocks back to 1995 by selling a range of products in their retro packaging. Classic items like Robinsons, Wagon Wheels and Rocky Bars were all selling in their original packaging for a limited time. The range also included retro fizzy drinks like Pepsi, Pepsi Max, and Tango Orange, Apple and Cherry.
