Shoppers 'need to buy' unusual Eurovision-themed dairy product spotted in Asda and Morrisons

Eurovision fans have caused a frenzy online after spotting a song-contest themed cheese product in supermarkets.

One fan took to Twitter to share a Eurovision-branded Philadelphia light cheese tub she found on the shelves at Asda. The baby blue and white packaging had the Eurovision logo, complete with the blue and yellow hues of the Ukrainian flag, at the top of the tub.

Posting a photo of her find to the social media platform, @ESCAlice_ wrote: "Babe what’s wrong? You’ve barely touched your Eurovision Song Contest 2023 Philadelphia light cream cheese".

Other Eurovision fans were quick to share their excitement over the themed cheese packaging. @scottygb tweeted: "BUYING THIS NOW" while @scarlettsals added: "I want this and I want it now".

@GastroGays declared: "Will eat nothing but Philadelphia for the next 2 months" while @EurovisionHood asked: "Like why?! But we need #ESC2023 #Eurovision #Eurovision2023". Tagging a friend, @timwncfc wrote: "*adds Philadelphia to his Eurovision party shopping list*" and @ESC_Maneskin admitted: "I need to buy this just for the container".
