Supermarket shoppers rush to buy discontinued Cadbury chocolate scanning for just 45p

SUPERMARKET shoppers are rushing to buy a discontinued Cadbury chocolate that is scanning for just a few pence.

Eagle-eyed customers could not believe their luck when they spotted Cadbury Bournville fingers for 45p in Sainsbury’s.

Cadbury said it had discontinued its dark chocolate fingers

One bargain hunter shared the find on social media writing: “Bournville dark chocolate fingers scanning at 45p at Sainsbury’s in Crawley, West Green.”

The savvy shopper added there was “plenty” of stock left on shelves when they were at the store.

It comes days after The Sun reported the popular dark chocolate snack was being axed by Cadbury.

The crispy biscuits were a popular item within Cadbury’s Bournville range, which features dark chocolate products.

The dark chocolate snack originally launched back in October 2020.

In the past, the Fingers were praised for being less sweet than the ordinary Dairy Milk fingers.

A Cadbury’s owner Mondelēz International previously told The Sun: “We continuously adapt our product range to ensure it meets changing tastes whilst supporting growth for our customers and our business.

“Our Cadbury Bournville Fingers were discontinued this year.

They added: “However, we still have plenty of other delicious products for consumers to enjoy, such as our Cadbury Bournville Giant Dark Buttons and our classic Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Fingers.”

If you are keen to get your hands on Sainsbury’s bargain find, you may want to act quickly.

It is likely the supermarket is selling the axed chocolate at a discount to help shift the product before it disappears for good.

You may only be able to shop this product in-store as it appears to be unavailable online.

With that in mind, it might be worth ringing your local branch ahead of time to avoid a wasted trip.

DISCONTINUED DARK CHOCOLATE

It comes as Brits have had to wave goodbye to a number of dark chocolate bars.

Toblerone axed the dark chocolate version of the bar earlier this year.

Mars axed its dark chocolate Bounty in 2023, leaving customers heartbroken.

At the time shoppers said the moves was “bad for their mental health“.

Others were quick to share their pain with one fan saying: “Noooooo. Dark chocolate Bountys beat milk chocolate Bountys hands down.

And it’s not only dark chocolate fans getting bruised, a number of beloved chocolate bars have vanished from shelves in recent years.

Nestlé confirmed two years ago that it had axed the Caramac bar, first launched in the late 1950s, due to “low sales“.

But the treat has been spotted sporadically at bargain retailers since.

However, it’s not all bad news sometimes iconic chocolate bars make a return.

Milky Way Crispy Rolls returned earlier after they were discontinued three years ago.

Why are products axed or recipes changed?

ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders.

Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether.

They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers.

There are several reasons why this could be done.

For example, government regulation, like the “sugar tax,” forces firms to change their recipes.

Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs.

They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable.

For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018.

It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version.

Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year.

Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks.

While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose.

JLo looks incredible in barely-there bikini and mesh bodysuit as she performs at WorldPride

JENNIFER Lopez looked incredible in a barely-there bikini and mesh bodysuit as she performed at WorldPride.

Pop superstar Jennifer, 55, flaunted her toned physique in the black two-piece with sizzling flame embellishments for her set in Washington DC.

She soon changed into a nude skin-tight bodysuit featuring glossy black panels which saw her arms fully covered in sleek latex.

Jennifer’s light brown tresses flew back in the wind and she accentuated her natural beauty with a full face of make-up.

Performing just a few miles away from the White House, the Ain’t Your Mama songstress told attendees: “We are singing and dancing right here on their front lawn, misbehaving. Yes, we are.”

Thanking her queer fans for their ongoing support, Jennifer added on the Festival Grounds at RFK Campus: “Over the years, your love and your support have been a source of strength for me and today I am here to celebrate you.

“I’m so happy to be able to be here to celebrate community, diversity, love, and freedom.”

For her finale, Jennifer covered George Michael’s Freedom! ’90 with backing vocals of the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington and a moving video tribute featuring LGBTQ+ pioneers including Marsha P. Johnson.

She also unveiled a brand-new Pride anthem, I’m Free, and gave fans an early glimpse of her next film project.

Jennifer debuted the title number from Kiss of the Spider Woman, her upcoming musical about a gay man surviving the horrors of an Argentinian prison by retreating into daydreams of a glamorous movie star.

This year’s WorldPride DC marked 50 years since the first Pride events were held in the U.S. capital.

The festival – part of a city-wide celebration lasting several weeks – included a major parade, protest marches, and performances from big names like Doechii, Cynthia Erivo, and Troye Sivan.

Stars including Paris Hilton, Tinashe, Trisha Paytas and Betto Who also took to the stage.

It comes just weeks after JLo was slammed by fans for an “embarrassing” American Music Awards routine, which saw her kiss both male and female dancers.

Her lively choreography opened the Las Vegas event on Memorial Day, and saw the I’m Real popstar belt out a variety of the year’s top hits.

As Jennifer transitioned from singing Benson Boone’s Beautiful Things into Teddy Swims’ Lose Control, she swooped in for a kiss with her backing dancers.

First she shared a smooch with a male dancer, before a female grabbed her head for an extended snog.

The unexpected kisses saw JLo blasted by fans who were left hugely confused by her behaviour.

One suggested on X she had “lost the plot” while another posted: “Why is Jennifer Lopez kissing everyone at the AMAs?”

Another viewer wrote: “Just looked up from my phone and JENNIFER LOPEZ IS KISSING A GIRL?!?!”

Others then suggested the Maid In Manhattan actress had staged the routine intentionally to make ex husband Ben Affleck jealous, after their divorce was finalised.

JLo stripped to a semi-sheer catsuit adorned with silver panels and jewel detail for her performance, cutting a glam figure as she styled her hair poker-straight.

The AMAs host kicked off with her 2012 tune Dance Again before following with some of the year’s top hits including Billie Eilish’s Birds Of A Feather and Kendrick Lamar’s Not Like Us.

She also made her mark on the event, which saw 80-year-old Rod Stewart honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award, with a series of outfit changes.

The star was back hosting the AMAs after having previously stepped into the role in 2015.

The Love Don’t Cost A Thing vocalist first graced the AMAs stage in 2001 and has gone onto perform 10 times at the prestigious awards.

Previously, event bosses gushed over JLo’s return to the AMA’s stage – as other stars including Taylor Swift gave the event a miss.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jennifer Lopez back to host the American Music Awards,” Jay Penske, the CEO of Dick Clark Productions said.

“Jennifer’s incredible talent and incomparable stage presence make her the ideal host of the show.

“We know she will bring her one-of-a-kind energy to the official kick off celebration of summer.”

Rafael Nadal set for new job seven months after 14-time French Open winner retired from tennis

RAFA NADAL is set to have a long-term role at the French Open.

Organisers said farewell to their greatest champ this year, marking the 14 men’s singles titles he won before retiring in 2024.

A special on-court presentation on day one was attended by the Spanish tennis king’s great rivals Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.

A plaque was unveiled in his honour and event boss Amelie Mauresmo said he could work with the event in years to come, possibly as an ambassador.

She said: “It’s now the common desire of the tournament and of Rafa to have some form of collaboration.

“We focused on what was happening this year with the communications campaign and homage.

“But we will resume our discussions so this story the tournament has had with Rafa over the past 20 years may continue in one way or another.”

Former Wimbledon and Australian Open champ Mauresmo said the event may continue to use line judges in 2026 — even though the other three Grand Slams axed them in favour of calls automatic from Hawk Eye.

Mauresmo, 45, said: “We are The Last of the Mohicans to some extent with line judges so will look at that question again, with the pluses and minuses.

“We couldn’t say that the system of electronic refereeing on clay courts was very reliable so the question remains open.”

CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS

Nadal was not in the stands to yesterday’s men’s final between his compatriot Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.

Though everyone inside Court Philippe Chatrier got treated to an incredible five hour and 29 minutes match that will go down as one of the greatest ever major finals.

Alcaraz was down two sets and Sinner had a whopping three match points in the fourth.

Yet he retained his Roland Garros crown, winning 4-6, 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (10-2).

Alcaraz, 22, has now won five Grand Slams and only Bjorn Borg and Nadal have done so younger.

Amazon’s under-the-seat cabin bag is cheaper than Primark & approved for Ryanair flights

AMAZON is selling the perfect-sized cabin bag for Ryanair flights – and its cheaper than Primark.

Now that summer is finally upon us, and with temperatures set to ramp up again next week, many of us are likely making plans for trips abroad.

Finding a bag that meets the strict size guidelines of airlines can be tricky, but thankfully, Amazon has the perfect product to keep travellers at ease.

Whether it’s a romantic getaway, or a work trip, the Cabin Bag will hold everything you need for a short trip away.

The under-seat bag is 40 X 20 X 25, meaning that it’s the exact maximum size Ryanair allows for cabin bags.

Plus, the nifty bag can also be extended to 46 X 36 X 20cm, meaning its the perfect size for easyJet flights.

The small bag is made from waterproof material, and can carry a heavy load, so you can be guaranteed that it will get you through your holiday without any drama.

Plus, it can be worn as a cross body bag, or a handbag, depending on your style.

The bag is perfect for holding, clothes, makeups, books and anything else you might need for a short trip away.

It comes in two colours, black and silver, and is priced at just £9.99, making it perfect for penny pinchers.

Plus, it’s cheaper than Primark’s Quilted Under Seat Cabin Bag which is priced at £12.

The Primark bag is also the perfect size for Ryanair flights, but does not extend to the size of easyJet’s restrictions.

Shoppers have flooded the Amazon website with praise for the purse friendly bag.

One shopper said: “What a great little bag this was.

“Really good value for money and has been a really good buy.”

A second person said: “Great item, well made and fit for purpose!

Advice for flying with Ryanair

  • All Ryanair passengers can bring a small personal bag on board but this must fit under the seat in front of you, but it must be no bigger than 40cm x 20cm x 25cm
  • Any over-sized cabin bags will be refused at the boarding gate and put in the hold for a fee
  • Ryanair also charges passengers up to £55 check-in at the airport
  • Anyone who loses their card at the airport will have to pay a £20 reissue fee
  • Book to sit in the front five rows if you want to head off the plane first
  • Extra legroom seats can be found in rows 1 A, B, C or 2 D, E, F as well as row 16 and 17 near the emergency exit
  • The worst seat on Ryanair’s Boeing 737-800 aircraft is also 11A because of its lack of window.

“The expansion facility with the base zip is particularly clever.”

A third person said: “Very good quality for the price and would 100% recommend as hand luggage.

“I expected it to be smaller, bearing in mind the price, but it was actually a great size!”

Airlines have strict restrictions on what you can take on board flights, with customers only able to take a small bag on for free.

Passengers have to pay for any larger bags they wish to take on board.

Науковці пояснили загадкове коливання Землі, спричинене двома мегацунамі

У вересні 2023 року сейсмологи по всьому світу зафіксували загадковий сигнал, який повторювався кожні дев’ять днів. Спершу не було зрозуміло, що саме його спричинило, адже ані землетрусів, ані штормів у цей час не зафіксували. Лише тепер дослідники виявили джерело: два «мегацунамі» у фіорді Діксон біля Східної Гренландії, що виникли після масштабного зсуву через танення льодовика. Ці хвилі висотою до 200 метрів розгойдувалися між […]
