Woman shows chaos inside B&M store after 'all the chocolate' melts in heatwave

When it comes to summer-safe sweets, everyone knows chocolate is best avoided.

While most soft treats can't withstand much heat, chocolate bars are notoriously bad at lasting outside of the fridge when temperatures start to rise.

So with the heatwave continuing to scorch the UK, businesses up and down the nation are facing challenges when it comes to keeping staff, customers and products cool.

And there's one store that looks to be having a very hard time with the weather, as a woman has shared a video inside a B&M where a number of food products reportedly melted in the heatwave.

The shopper claimed she noticed the effects of the extreme heat during a visit to a store in Featherstone, West Yorkshire.

There she found what looks to be hundreds of bars of melted chocolate.

In a video, @ alicensx records the chocolate, stored on shelves, bends and flops inside its packaging.

Among the disorder, a person can be seen picking up a soft, misshapen packet, before the camera pans to another shelf, where a number of chocolate bars appear to have completely melted.

"All the chocolate has melted," the caption claims.

The video has racked up over 80,000 likes since it was posted a day ago, with lots of people taking to the comments to share their shock.

One person wrote: "The Australian chocolate is supposed to last longer in the heat that must of been disgustingly hot to do that."

Another comment read: "It’s so bizarre to me how the UK doesn’t have AC in a lot of places, this isn’t the first summer it’s gotten this hot."

Another agreed: "At this point any chocolates and ice cream must be in a fridge."

And a different person simply wrote: "NOT THE DREAM BARS."

The Mirror has contacted B&M for comment.
