B&M shoppers revel in nostalgia as cult £1 sweets discontinued 20 years ago now back on shelves

B&M shoppers are in a nostalgia frenzy after the shop announced the return of a much-loved retro sweet that was discontinued more than 20 years ago. The bargain retailer posted a picture of a bag of Opal Fruits taken from the shelves priced at just £1.

The packet appears to state that the sweets are 'limited edition' and include the original flavours. The comeback comes 23 years after Opal Fruits became Starburst to match the US and blackcurrant replaced the much-loved citrus.

Shoppers were ecstatic and took to the comment section of Twitter to welcome them back.
