Cadbury Heroes & Celebrations Tubs now in shops! #christmasinsummer

cadbury heroes tesco

I first ranted about Christmas coming early several years back, and it seems that Christmas products seem to appear in shops earlier and earlier every year. We've now reached a point where they're apparently necessary whilst still basking in the Summer heat!

I must admit I was a little surprised to see these tubs of Cadbury Heroes and Mars Celebrations on Friday. It's become the norm to get them in September but I don't think they've ever been out this early before?

If you're desperate to get your hands on some of the sugary goodness, they're £5 a tub in Tesco which is pretty reasonable (that said, they may be rather melted depending on the heat where you are!)

As well as the tubs, B&M have started stocking...stocking fillers! Such as Nestle Jelly Tots:

Caramac Buttons:

And Swizzel's Lovehearts tubes, now with Emojis:

As well as those, in Tesco Express I've seen tubs of Quality Street:

Plus Cadbury Roses:

There's also some festive Dairy Free chocolates in Holland & Barrett. No doubt more Christmassy treats will follow shortly!

What do you think - is it #toosoon? Are you ready to get in the festive spirit early? Let me know in the comments! #christmasinsummer

    my local Martins tends to start their christmas stuff creeping in from august. my local B&M has a terrible issue with lack of air conditioning meaning in the hot weather it's unbearable in there and stock starts to melt on the shelves and people squish it and poke it so i hope they'll be holding off on their xmas stuff for that reason! (i've been emailing their head office for 5 years asking them to sort out their staffs working conditions but no joy - they must lose so much stock - 'blooming' chocolate is one thing - bags of chocolate that have melted into a solid lump is quite another!)

      I've had similar complaints about B&M from family...I went in one store the other week and we had to come out, it was like a sauna! The poor staff. Might have to join you in emailing them!

      for the sake of the staff its worth emailing, but in 5 years they have done nothing in mine. In previous years it wasn't even the kind of weather we've had recently, just normal summer weather. you got a sweat moustache just walking around with a basket!

      i emailed this year and also mentioned their fridges must have to work over time as well- in previous years they didn't have this so the fridges must be churning through electricity like nobodies business - wouldn't buy anything out of the chiller cabinet as wouldn't trust it was kept at a safe temperature!

      It's interesting to know it's not just my local one. the Home bargains right next door has air con!

    Did the Celebrations contain the rumoured Milky Way Crispy Rolls?

      I have no idea! Where does this rumour come from?

      At Christmas time there was a photo circulating of a tub of European or American Celebrations that included Milk Way Crispy Rolls.
      My hope was that it had created enough hype for them to be included this year but it seems not :(

Pringles Salted Egg Review

Another weird snack and this time it’s Salted Egg Flavour Pringles! These are apparently popular in other parts of the word so maybe not as weird as they may seem to us Brits... and they’re actually not so bad! Not as eggy as I expected - I had visions of an awful gaseous pong coming from the tub, haha! - but just a slight salty egg flavour.   If you’re curious, find them from www.gbgifts.co.uk (gifted).

Asda Tinned Banana Blossom Review

-

Recently, I spotted a totally new vegetable/fruit (not sure which it actually is!) in Asda called Banana Blossom in a tin. It was next to the tins of Jackfruit which is a well known vegan meat alternative. I assumed it was a similar thing so happily bought some to try - it’s £1.50 a tin. The image on the wrapper looked innocent enough - battered fish pieces, only vegan! Surely this stuff must be good? Turns out that packaging was very misleading because nothing could prepare me for the horror that was lurking inside...when I opened the tin it was like opening something from a horror film, discovering the mouldy body of an ancient alien creature or other such evil. It looked hideous!! “Surely this is not meant for human consumption?!”, I thought. Heck it’s not even suitable for bird consumption....I think flies would even turn their nose up at this thing, which looked like rotten infested seaweed. When I posted this on my  Instagram  page the responses were predictably

Lidl Way To Go Fin Carre Ethical Chocolate

-

I recently spotted some new funky looking bars in Lidl, and instantly they reminded me of Tony’s Chocolonely bars, the ethical brand that launched last year donating money to helping end slavery in cocoa production. I’ve always loved the Tony’s brand and I think in 2020, more than ever, we need more ethically produced products - it should be expected, let’s be honest! So it’s always nice to see another brand like this even if it’s essentially copying Tony’s. I got the dark chocolate version to try as I was curious how it would be compared to other dark chocolates. In hindsight this was a mistake, as the actual chocolate is nothing extraordinary. It’s nice enough and good quality don’t get me wrong but it has no particular distinct flavour to make me buy it again. I’ll certainly try the other two flavours which are Milk Chocolate and Almond and Sea Salt, and I do like the chunky haphazard block design that mimics Tony’s Chocolonely. It’s a shame through that Lidl don’t just stock
