Tesco shoppers go wild after spotting 90s Cadbury chocolate bar back on shelves as they cry ‘this was my favourite’
TESCO shoppers are cheering the return of a popular chocolate bar which hasn’t been seen on supermarket shelves in decades.
Customers were sent on a trip down memory lane after Cadbury’s Top Deck chocolate bars were spotted in the aisles of the popular grocery store.
The confectionery maker announced in June that it would be re-launching the nostalgic snack in the UK.
The much-loved bar, which first launched in 1993, will return to shelves for a limited time.
It was available to buy in Britain up until the 2000’s but then it vanished from shelves.
Other countries such as Australia and South Africa continue to sell the product.
While Cadbury told fans last month the classic bar would be making a return, it appears customers are only now spotting it on shelves.
“Cadbury’s Top Deck is back….spotted at Tesco,” said one shopper, posting a photo in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group.
“This was my fave,” replied one nostalgic user.
“I remember this,” cried another excited punter.
A Cadbury Top Deck bar weighs 110g and will set you back £1.85.
The yummy treat boasts two generous layers of creamy white and milk chocolate.
You can pick up the chocolate in Tesco or it is available to buy on Amazon but delivery will depend on your location.
Some sellers were advertising a 200g bar for a whopping £6.75 with delivery costing nearly £4.
Satisfied punters reviewed the chocolate as “yummy” while another wrote: “I love the taste.”
A third said: “I bought this for my wife and as a little surprise to remind us of the great taste of Top Deck from when we were travelling in Australia. Would definitely buy again.”
“Nice combination and not sickly – would buy again,” another happy customer wrote.
If you are keen to pick up the bar in Tesco, it is worth ringing up your local store ahead of time to avoid disappointment.
Cadbury’s has brought the sugary treat back as part of the brand’s continued 200th-anniversary celebrations.
The chocolatier has marked its anniversary by bringing back seven iconic Dairy Milk designs spanning the last 100 years.
Sweet-toothed foodies are able to get their hands on designs from 1915 to the present day.
And B&M shoppers recently went wild for a rare Cadbury chocolate bar usually only seen on the other side of the world.
The retailer is stocking Cadbury Perky Nanas for £1.25 and usually only seen in New Zealand.
The soft banana-flavoured 45g chew bar comes covered with Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate.
It comes as a number of major food brands have brought back childhood classics.
Horlicks Original Tablets were spotted on the shelves of B&M last month.
The chewable tablets are still available to buy across the popular discount store and were relaunched as part of a 150th anniversary of the brand.
In May, B&M brought out its own version of the 90’s classic called Fruit Blast.
Shopping around for the best bargain
When hunting for a deal it is important to shop around make sure you are not being over charged.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
For example, Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
Price Spy also logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets.
Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
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 on flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for 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 Trolley.co.uk 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.
