Eagle-eyed shoppers recently spotted that iconic 80s sweet, the Wham bar has returned to supermarket shelves, in an ice lolly version.
Posting to the NewfoodsUK Facebook group, one shopper said: “Wham Ice Cream Lollies are back at Iceland Foods.”
The sour raspberry flavoured ice cream lolly features “cosmic crystals” and has no artificial colours or flavours.
The lollies are available exclusively at Iceland and a pack of four sweet treats costs just £2.50.
Shoppers Share Their Excitement
Shoppers raced to the comments section of the Facebook post to share their excitement at the new lollies.
One person said: “These sound amazing”.
A second person added: “I wonder if rockets are back too!”
On the Iceland website another shopper raved: “These are so good they’re literally addictive and a favourite in my house, multiple boxes bought a week and they always get demolished.
“They do taste exactly like a wham bar.”
A second person added: “Taste like a wham bar.
“Myself and the kids love these.”
Wham Bars were first introduced back in the 80s by Scottish confectioners McCowan’s, and at their peak sold 30 million bars a year.
In 2011, it was announced that McCowan’s were going into administration, but the sweet has since been bought by Tangerine Confectionery.
More Iconic Sweet Returns
Shoppers were recently treated to a burst of nostalgia after another iconic sweet returned to shelves after 27 years.
Opal Fruits, which were re-branded as Starburst in 1998, are now available across major UK retailers.
The individually wrapped chewy squares will be up for grabs in Sainsbury’s, Tesco, and Morrisons stores for shoppers to enjoy a taste of nostalgia.
The relaunch has sparked excitement amongst 80s and 90s babies, who grew up with the strawberry, orange, lime and lemon treats.
And chocolate fans are convinced that white Malteasers are returning to stores after being axed 11 years ago.
TikToker Minstrel Munches has sparked a buzz on social media after stating that the sweet could return to shelves in June or July.
