Meet "Big Daddy": M&S's Bold New Chocolate Treat
Is 'Big Daddy' the Next Chocolate Craze in the UAE? M&S Thinks So. There's something brewing in the world of chocolate—and it's chunky, cheeky, and unapologetically indulgent. Say hello to Big Daddy, the latest oversized treat from Marks & Spencer that's already creating a buzz on both sides of the aisle (and the internet). Read More: Dubai Resident Gets Scammed Over Viral Dubai Chocolate Read More: Fix Chocolate Teams Up with Dubai Crown Prince Fazza For a nation like the UAE, where dessert is serious business, the launch of 'Big Daddy' feels like a natural fit. This is no ordinary bar. We're talking about layers of caramel, nuts, crunchy textures, and creamy chocolate—all wrapped in a bold, no-holds-barred experience. Two Flavors, One Statement Big Daddy comes in two flavor-packed variations: Original Big Daddy : A power combo of milk and dark chocolate , with a creamy peanut butter center, roasted peanuts, and a luxurious layer of soft caramel . Think of it as a supersized Snickers with a more gourmet twist. Big Daddy Pistachio: Inspired by regional palettes, this edition is an ode to Middle Eastern indulgence, featuring roasted pistachios, pistachio crème, crunchy biscuit bits, gooey sweet and salty caramel, all coated in smooth milk chocolate. Both flavors are generous in portion and unapologetically rich—designed not for restraint, but for celebration. What Are People Saying? Chocolate lovers in the UAE and beyond have been quick to share their verdict. On TikTok and Instagram, the Original Big Daddy has been praised as a 'Snickers on steroids,' with fans raving about its thick layers and perfect balance of sweet and salty. That said, a few noted the price tag is a bit steeper—but 'worth it for the experience,' according to most. As for the Pistachio version, it's striking a chord with fans of local flavor. The creamy pistachio blend has been called 'a clever nod to baklava-style desserts,' though some connoisseurs felt it could have used more crunch to fully channel traditional sweets. Still, it's a bold take that feels right at home in the UAE. Why it Works Here Let's face it—the UAE has a sweet tooth. From gourmet baklava to boutique gelato to date-infused everything, the local market is always on the lookout for the next cult dessert. Big Daddy doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. It simply perfects what already works: nostalgia, portion power, and unapologetic richness. In a world of bite-sized, calorie-counted, protein-packed bars, Big Daddy flips the script. It says, 'Go big or go home.' And there's something refreshingly honest about that. More Than a Chocolate Bar M&S knows its audience. Big Daddy isn't just a snack—it's a conversation starter. It lands perfectly in the 'treat yourself' category, whether you're sharing it with friends, stashing it in your work drawer, or gifting it during Eid or birthdays. And let's not ignore the name. It's bold. It's funny. It's confident. Try asking for a 'Big Daddy' with a straight face—it instantly lightens the mood and sparks curiosity. That's smart branding with bite. Where to Find It You can find both flavors in M&S stores across the UAE. The Pistachio version, especially, feels tailor-made for this region and may not be available for long—so if it piques your interest, don't wait. Final Bite If you're looking for your next chocolate fix that skips the modesty and doubles the delight, Big Daddy might just be your guy. M&S has a history of turning everyday snacks into cult favorites. This time, they may have just created the region's next sweet obsession.

Viral 'Nothing' phone series debuts in UAE: Price, features, and all you need to know
Tech enthusiasts in the UAE have something to look forward to as Nothing officially launches its latest smartphone lineup, the Nothing Phone (3a) series. Bringing a fresh take on smartphone design and performance, the Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro continue the brand's mission of delivering cutting-edge technology with a striking aesthetic. Sales in the UAE commence on March 20, marking a significant milestone in Nothing's expansion into the region. Design & Display Nothing has built a reputation for its transparent design philosophy, and the Phone (3a) series proudly upholds this tradition. The Phone (3a) comes in White, Black, and Blue, while the Phone (3a) Pro is available in Grey and Black, offering a premium and futuristic look. Nothing's Regional Director for the Middle East, Rishi Kishor Gupta, who was at the phone's launch event in the UAE on March 19, shared his top three standout features of the latest series. For him, the design comes first. He makes a bold claim that users may not be able to identify which brand a phone belongs to if its brand name is removed. "That's where our phones are very unique," he says. "And that's the best part that I like, the design." Both models feature Nothing's signature Glyph Interface, an array of LED light strips on the back that provide visual notifications, customisable alerts, and even serve as a functional tool for camera lighting. The immersive display on the series boasts vivid colors and smooth refresh rates, ensuring an exceptional viewing experience for users. Rishi goes on to share his two favourite features: The Glyph interface and the Essential Space. "The Glyph interface does it for me, especially when I call ubers and a countdown timer is visible," he said. "That is something which is really amazing for me." The Nothing OS system is also quite seamless, he says, "it is very clear and smooth. We don't have any unnecessary block in the software. We made it so fast versus all other computers because we don't overload the software with block layers." As for the Essential Space, it is an AI feature that organises your content and prompts action. "Everything in one place. It removes the friction from recalling content," the official feature description read. "AI organises your captures and generates personalised suggestions and actions to help you stay on top of things." "I am using it a lot," Rishi says. "It is telling me my Fazza card will expire soon. We wanted to give something more useful to our consumers and that's why we created this Essential Space." Performance & Power Under the hood, the Nothing Phone (3a) is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, designed to deliver a seamless balance between performance and power efficiency. The Phone (3a) Pro, on the other hand, is expected to house a more advanced chipset, offering enhanced capabilities for multitasking and gaming. Both devices come with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, ensuring ample space and speed for everyday tasks and demanding applications alike. Additionally, the AI Engine optimises performance, making the experience smoother and more intuitive. Camera & Imaging Nothing has emphasised the importance of camera innovation in its latest lineup. The Phone (3a) and 3a Pro feature advanced dual-camera setups, engineered to capture stunning photos and videos in various lighting conditions. Enhanced AI-powered processing ensures improved image quality, while the Glyph Interface can be used as a fill light for more natural and professional-looking shots. Battery & Charging Battery life remains a crucial factor, and Nothing has equipped the Phone (3a) series with a robust battery that supports fast charging. Users can expect reliable, all-day battery life with optimised power consumption, keeping them connected and productive throughout the day. UAE Pricing & Availability The Nothing Phone (3a) (12GB + 256GB) is priced at Dh1,399, making it a compelling option for those looking for a stylish yet powerful device. Meanwhile, the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro (12GB + 256GB) is available for Dh1,749, offering additional enhancements for users who want a more premium experience. An exclusive offer on Amazon UAE and Lulu allows users to buy the Nothing Phone (3a) (8GB + 128GB) for just Dh999. Both devices will be available across select retail partners and online stores in the UAE starting March 20. Talking about the UAE market, Rishi said, "The consumers here are very advanced. They are ready to adapt and embrace the new technologies and products if they connect with it. We have the right set of products and that's why UAE is at the core of our strategy." He adds, "We have so many launches this year and we will keep surprising you until the end of this year." For tech lovers looking to stand out while enjoying top-tier performance, the Nothing Phone (3a) and 3a Pro might just be the perfect choice.
