A limited-edition Cadbury chocolate bar has led shoppers on a hunt to find them after being compared to a discontinued treat from more than 15 years ago.
The new Twirl White Dipped went on sale earlier this month, and shoppers have been looking everywhere to find it in the UK.
Morrisons, Co-op, Home Bargains and B&M are selling the popular bar – but only in select shops for a limited time.
When shoppers did get their hands on it, they were quick to take to social media to praise its taste and similarities to a discontinued favourite from the late noughties.
Is a Twirl just a Flake dipped in chocolate?
Long has been the debate that Twirls are similar to Cadbury’s famous Flake chocolate bar – but now the comparison has heightened for a different reason.
The Twirl White Dipped was being compared to Cadbury’s Flake Snow even before it hit the shelves.
Cadbury's Flake Snow chocolate bar was first launched in the UK back in 2000.
The bar had a crumbly white chocolate flake inside, covered in milk chocolate.
But it only lasted eight years in the UK, with Cadbury revealing in 2008 the chocolate bar had been discontinued.
Cadbury Twirl White Dipped – shoppers react online
Taking to Facebook foodie groups, shoppers were quick to share where they had picked up a Twirl, at what price and if it had similarities with Flake Snow.
“Limited edition Cadbury twirl white 85p spotted at B&M,” one person wrote.
“Does it taste like a Flake Snow? Yes it does,” another said.
One person commented: “It’s like a Flake Snow in reverse!”
Another added: Wow, these are outstanding - closest bar you’ll ever get to a Cadbury Snowflake!"
“Not bad but definitely not as good as Flake Snow was," another wrote.
Others commented about the chocolate’s taste, saying: “These were amazing!"
“They are divine” and “Found mine, I love them – so delicious.”
Before its release, Twirl brand manager at Mondelez International, Katya Savelieva, said: "With smooth white chocolate surrounding our iconic milk chocolate swirls, the new Twirl White Dipped is an indulgence you won’t want to miss - grab it as soon as you can and experience Twirl like never before!"
