‘I can’t find them anywhere’ cry shoppers as popular US chocolate snack confirmed discontinued in the UK
CHOCOLATE fanatics have been left at a loss after a popular US snack has been discontinued in the UK.
The brand has confirmed that their customers may miss the flavour but a new offering has been launched that “fans will love”.

Back in 2018, Flipz Pretzel Snacks unveiled their UK debut to include white and dark chocolate variants.
The brand has since expanded to include Cookies & Cream, Salted Caramel, and White Chocolate.
With bags currently on sale at Ocado for £1.35 and £1.50 at Tesco, those with a sweet tooth may find themselves grabbing a bag.
Ever since its release, the White Chocolate flavour has often been a hit with shoppers with many commenting on social media.
One Facebook user described their purchase as their “all-time favourite“.
While another said: “Thank you they are wonderful!!!”
Someone else wrote: “Love these.”
On X, formerly known as Twitter, one user commented: “The god-tier white fudge.”
Those hoping to nab the White Chocolate Pretzels may be saddened by the news that Flipz has confirmed the flavour will no longer be available in the UK.
One fan recently tagged the company’s social media requesting information on where to find them.
Their post read: “Hey I live in the UK and was just wondering and wanted to know, if you have stopped making the white chocolate fudge flipz?
“Or you have discontinued them in the UK? Can’t find them anywhere.”
Disappointed shoppers should not be too upset as a spokesperson for the brand has confirmed a new flavour has hit shelves.
Available in a 90g pouch, the Limited Edition Cinnamon Bun Flavour could be perfect as a stocking filler or self-indulgent treat.
Currently the bags can be purchased from Ocado for just £1.35 or Uber Eats for £2.05, depending on your local stockists.
A spokesperson for Flipz UK&I comments: “We’re constantly listening to what Flipz fans want, and we love innovating with new and exciting flavours for them to enjoy.
“Whilst we know our White Fudge flavour will be missed, our newly launched Cinnamon Bun flavour is one that we know fans will love.”

Lidl’s Coca-Cola truck rival to hit roads in HOURS – giving away free ‘mystery boxes’ with middle aisle must-haves
IN just a few hours Lidl’s version of the Coca-Cola truck takes to the roads to spread festive joy and give away free gifts.
The discount retailer launched its rival to the iconic red Christmas truck this year for the very first time.

Lidl‘s Freeway cola truck will begin its tour of Great Britain on Thursday.
The festive tour will see the truck visit nine different cities until December 1.
Tomorrow, the lit-up red lorry will pull into Dundee and the fun will begin at midday, ending at 6 pm.
The timings stay the same for all locations.
People who are lucky enough to spot the red truck will find that 2,000 mystery present boxes will be given out.
Each box contains several items from Lidl’s famous “middle aisle.”
However, it is on a first-come-first-serve basis so you must hurry to grab one.
As an extra treat, Lidl has ensured that one in 10 of the boxes contains a “Golden Ticket” as well as the middle aisle freebies.
This ticket will be a coupon worth £100 that can be redeemed on the Lidl Plus app.
Visitors will also find that Lidl will be handing out festive food and even granting wishes.
The supermarket chain said visitors to the truck can also make a “wish” for something they want this Christmas, with the retailer granting a number of them.
The full list of locations the truck will visit, and the dates it will arrive there are as follows:
- Dundee – November 14
- Harrogate – November 16
- Hull – November 17
- Nottingham – November 21
- Wolverhampton – November 23
- Wrexham – November 24
- Luton – November 28
- Bournemouth – November 30
- Southampton – December 1
As Lidl hopes to “highlight the magic of giving, sharing and wish-making this Christmas with a pop-up wonderland at each stop,” Coca-Cola has also detailed some of the plans for its truck this year.
Why is the Coca-Cola truck famous?
The Coca-Cola Christmas truck was first seen in the brand’s hugely popular 1995 advert.
At the time they were known as Christmas Caravans and were decorated with images of the Coca‑Cola Santa by artist Haddon Sundblom.
The 60-second clip features the now-iconic Holidays Are Coming song, which is still synonymous with Coca-Cola to this day.
The truck began touring the US in 2001 but didn’t start visiting the UK until 2010.
The drinks company confirmed the return of the iconic truck last week promising that the tour this year will be “bigger and better than ever.”
Visitors will be able to take part in festive games and a lucky dip which will give them the chance to win exclusive Coca-Cola merchandise.
A food truck will serve up seasonal food and ice-cold Coca-Cola Zero Sugar drinks.
The exact dates and locations have not yet been released as Coca-Cola urges fans to keep their eyes out for updates on its Instagram and X pages.
Last year, the truck visited some of the UK’s most major cities including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool and Manchester.
It started on November 23 and ended on December 3, so the wait should not be too long.

Warren Buffett Breaks 6-Year Streak Of Berkshire Hathaway Stock Buybacks, Say ‘It’s Too Expensive’
Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett recently ended a six-year streak of stock buybacks for the company. While the company regularly participates in stock buybacks, it did not do so during the third quarter, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
Despite having over $325 billion in cash reserves, Buffett opted not to use that cash to buy back shares, suggesting that he believes the stock is too expensive.
Don’t Miss:
Buffett’s approach to stock buybacks is straightforward: he only buys back shares when he considers them a “bargain.” According to Berkshire Hathaway’s regulatory filings, he looks for a stock price below the company’s intrinsic value – a conservative measure considering the long-term worth of Berkshire’s assets. Analysts believe the absence of buybacks sends a clear message to the market: Berkshire’s stock is overvalued at its current price.
Berkshire Hathaway‘s Class A shares are trading around 1.6 times their book value, representing the company’s assets once debts are subtracted. In the past, Berkshire has avoided buybacks when the stock traded above 1.2 times its book value, but that guideline was dropped in 2018.
Trending: Warren Buffett once said, “If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.” These high-yield real estate notes that pay 7.5% – 9% make earning passive income easier than ever.
Buffett’s conservative investment philosophy remains firm even with a more flexible policy. Robert Korajczyk, a finance professor at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management, explained to CNN, “He’s been very clear that they would never buy back shares if they thought that the firm was overvalued.”
In addition to ending its buyback streak, Berkshire increased its already significant cash holdings by selling stocks in the third quarter. Some analysts took this as a cautionary move due to concerns about the current market environment.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.
NYU Stern School of Business professor Aswath Damodaran told CNN that Buffett’s decision to hold cash suggests Berkshire is taking a conservative stance, likely due to high stock prices. “It’s a signal that they feel cautious about where the market is,” Damodaran said. “They’ve become cautious because they think the market is richly priced.”
