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.
