M&S issues 'alert' to those who want to try viral Strawberry & Creme Sandwich
A Marks & Spencer sandwich which split the public will be removed from shelves shortly, with customers having only a few days left to try the Strawberry & Creme item Shoppers don't have long left if they want to try the latest viral M&S sandwich. The company has confirmed the summer sandwich will be removed from shelves in the coming days, meaning those who want to try the Strawberry & Creme sandwich will have just a little more time to try it. A statement from Marks & Spencer has confirmed the shop will no longer be selling the sweet sandwich. An "alert" was issued to their Instagram page, with many shoppers left heartbroken to know the sandwich will be leaving shelves shortly. Some are hoping to see the return of the viral sandwich next year. Whether the Strawberry & Creme flavour returns is yet to be seen, but M&S were a much talked about brand over summer thanks to the controversial sandwich. A post to their Instagram reads: "Strawberry and Creme Sandwich ALERT. THE summer sandwich sensation - our Red Diamond™ Strawberry & Creme Sandwich will only be available for a few more days "Yes, that's right – it's your last chance to get hold of our limited-edition sarnie so make sure you RUN and don't walk to your local Foodhall to grab a few slices of M&S Food history!" Fans were thrilled to see the sandwich was still available, albeit for only a few more days. One wrote: "Loved it!" Another added: "Please do this one again next year, it was delicious." A third added: "I don't know why this got so much hate, me & my kids shared one the other day and thought it was delicious!!" Not everyone was keen to get their hands on the Strawberry & Creme sandwich before it left shelves. One Instagram user simply commented: "Nope!" Another joked: "Nah, I'm good, ta." But others were left hoping the sandwich makes a glorious return next year, with the M&S summer selection a hit with some. One user even claimed they managed to put their dislike of strawberries aside for the sandwich. They wrote: "Please bring them back next year. I don't even like strawberries but I loved these (and your red diamond strawberries)." Another added: "Had one the other week finally managed to get my hands on one and I really enjoyed it was very tasty." A third shared: "I really like it, please bring it back next year! I will have to buy my last one this Saturday then." The Strawberry and Creme sandwich, launched on June 25, consists of ripe strawberries and whipped cream cheese nestled between two slices of sweetened bread. According to M&S, this unique creation draws inspiration from Japanese "sweet sandos" or fruit sandwiches, which have been gaining popularity in London's trendy Japanese patisseries. M&S explained: "Inspired by the Japanese sweet sandos, recently spotted popping up in London's trendiest Japanese patisseries, our product developers have long dreamed of creating a dessert sandwich."

Foodies torn over M&S 'strawberries and cream' sandwiches
Colum Motherway 19/07/2025 Strawberries and cream have long been a popular dessert combination in Ireland, but recently they seem to have made their way towards the main course section. Last month, M&S rolled out a limited-edition strawberries and cream sandwich, made with strawberries, whipped cream cheese and sweetened bread. While some people may shudder at the idea, sweet sandwiches are nothing new to other parts of the world, particularly Japan. Known as 'furutsu sando', fruit sandwiches have long been a tasty treat for Japanese people and after recently going viral on social media, they were quickly adopted by M&S. Just when you thought you'd seen it all M&S have Strawberry sandwiches — WstLdnsMayor_ (@kieronFish) June 27, 2025 The supermarket chain has said it was its top-selling sandwich two days after its launch. Despite nearly putting anything between two slices of bread over here, foodies on social media are sharing divided opinions on whether fruit and cream can work as a sandwich. One X user wrote: 'This may well qualify as a high crime or misdemeanour. It's a waste of great strawberries… wonderful cream… and perfectly good bread.' Another agreed: 'No. Also ewwwwwwwwwwww.' As it is the ladies' final day at Wimbledon, I managed to finally get hold of the M&S Strawberry & Creme sandwich. I actually quite liked it. — David Bird (@davidjgbird) July 12, 2025 On the other hand, one person commented: 'Now this I've got to try.' A happy customer shared: 'I cannot live without this perfection of a sandwich please make it permanent M&S.' In Japan, the fruit sandwiches are typically made of sweetened, soft, spongy white bread filled with whipped cream and fruit, usually strawberries or clementines. Some people make them at home, but they're more commonly bought from convenience stores, food halls or dedicated stores and they would be typically be eaten as a snack with tea or coffee or served on a plate alongside savoury sandwiches. i cannot live without this perfection of a sandwich pls make it permanent m&s — fairy ౨ৎ (@yesandgrande) July 14, 2025 The viral trend has raised questions about what is technically defined as a sandwich and if it has to be savoury to work. Would you try a sweet sandwich for lunch or turn your head and stick with a classic ham and cheese?
