B&M shoppers have rushed to praise the return of a Cadbury's candy product that was a favourite among those who grew up in the 90s.
One customer spotted that the bargain retailer now stocks Cadbury Astros for just over £1. The sweet, which debuted in 1997, consists of thick balls of crunchy biscuit coated with chocolate.
Many people who were a child in the late 90s and early 00s will likely have fond memories of eating the candy. They have since been discontinued, which is why their appearance at B&M has delighted shoppers.

"Wrong label on shelf but scanned at £1.00 a box which is 40g. Not sure who remembers these from the 90s."
