Iceland shoppers go wild for £2 flavoured water inspired by retro childhood sweeties

Iceland shoppers are going wild for bottles of flavoured water that are inspired by some classic retro childhood sweeties.

The frozen food retailer has become popular with customers for stocking some seriously nostalgic treats from the iconic Barratt Sweets brand.

Just recently they launched a brand new range of ice lollies that featured frozen versions of some classic tuck shop favourites including Flumps, Nougat and Sherbet Fountains.

And now they are stocking Wham and Fruit Salad flavoured water and it has been a hit with shoppers on social media.

Those who grew up in the 90s and early 00s will remember filling up their sweetie bags with as many of these sugary sweets as possible.

One savvy shopper shared a snap of the retro flavoured water to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Group on Facebook, where it quickly attracted thousands of fans.

They captioned the snap: "Keeping you all updated at Iceland. Wham! and fruit salad."

The post became a hit with thousands of shoppers who couldn't wait to get their hands on the retro flavours as soon as possible.

"I have tried both of these, and they are bloody amazing! The Wham even has the sherberty tingle!", praised one shopper.

"I had one a few weeks ago, best drinks", commented a second.

"I want the wham 1s", said a third.

"I’m going to need some of these in my life", replied a fourth.

"Iceland, the gift that just keeps on giving", wrote a sixth.

However, not everyone was fully convinced, with quite a few being a little more sceptical on the possible high sugar content needed to make the flavours.

"Oh god the thought of how sickly sweet these must be is making my jaw cringe", said one.

"My teeth went furry and fell out imagining drinking this. Would still Buy", commented another.

Iceland's Wham and Fruit Salad flavoured water is available in-stores for £1.75.
