Chocolate company Cadbury's has reported a shortage of everyone's favourite ice cream topper - just as the UK gets set for a mini heatwave at the end of the week.
Low stocks of Flakes are threatening to scupper the summer rush for 99 ice creams, as the firm's owners blamed supply chain issues for the shortage.
Cadbury's owner, US giant Mondelez says there is a global shortage of Flakes as high demand caught it off guard after after sales outstripped stock levels agreed with its customers at the start of the year, according to The Sun.
