The internet has seemingly gone into meltdown over the last week after Nestlé launched a spin-off of its popular Curiously Cinnamon cereal in the shape of churros.
Churros for breakfast?
Although often eaten as a dessert or a sweet treat in the UK, churros – which are a type of fried dough usually sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and dipped in a hot, melted chocolate – are actually popularly eaten at breakfast time in Portugal and Spain at breakfast, which is why Nestlé has decided to turn them into a cereal.
Boxes of Curiously Cinnamon Churros come packed with small, churro-shaped snacks that are coated with the same blend of sugar and spice that fans of the original breakfast cereal already know and love.
Once word of the launch of the new cereal got out, and food bloggers and reviewers on social media started singing its praises, people have been keen to get their hands on a box.

And now, this viral cereal has been spotted on the shelves at Tesco.
An eagle-eyed shopper took to social media to share her recent find with the over 1.7 million members of the ever-popular Extreme Couponing & Bargains UK Group on Facebook, with the simple caption: “Found these in Tesco” – and that teaser was all it took to grab the attention of thousands of people up and down the country.

The post has since amassed well over 1.8K interactions, and 2.2K comments from other budget shoppers also keen to find a box at their local supermarket.
Although the shopper didn’t reveal which branch of Tesco she found the new cereal at, it’s believed that Curiously Cinnamon Churros are currently only available at Tesco, with no confirmation yet as to whether it’ll be stocked on the shelves at other supermarket chains in the future.
A box should set you back around £2.50.

The new cereal was also shared to the popular food spotting Instagram page @NewFoodsUK, as well as by well-known Instagram food reviewers @JohnsSnackReviews and @helenjtea – who said: “The warming cinnamon flavour definitely does remind me of churros and they have mastered the shape.”
She also recommended trying them with chocolate milk too.

Liam Gallagher says he’ll ‘gig in Lidl’ if Co-op Live still isn’t ready – and they sound pretty game for it
Danny Jones
Following the ongoing palaver with Co-op Live, Liam Gallagher has joked that he’d happily play his scheduled gigs in a Lidl if the arena still isn’t ready – at least we think he’s joking…
With Liam Gallagher having been named as one of the first acts booked to play Co-op Live last year, many are now wondering whether the venue will even by June, with the former Oasis frontman set to play four Definitely Maybe 30th-anniversary sets. That being said, he’s come up with a solution if not.
Vintage LG, we’ll give him that.
Obviously a bit of a tongue-in-cheek quip at the venue being sponsored by a supermarket and convenience store chain, it could have been any other competitor that the ever-witty youngest Gallagher brother picked but it somehow made it extra funny that he chose a budget brand like Lidl.
However, with the 51-year-old already having fun with stunts like voicing the tannoys on the Metrolink last year, for instance, we wouldn’t put it past him to take this joke a little further.
Better still, not that we’re getting carried away or anything but Lidl themselves seem pretty keen on the idea too; they even spent the time to build an entire setlist for the fictional show. Fair play.
Can you imagine? Liam Gallagher swapping the occasional tambourine shake for beeps from a barcode scanner as he moves back and forth on the conveyor belt. We know it’s absolute nonsense and we definitely shouldn’t be even remotely considering it… BUT it’s the stuff of dreams and strange things have happened.
A lot of stranger things have happened this week alone. As for the latest with Co-op Live, the Chairman and CEO of key-backers Oak View Group, Tim Leiweke, issued a full statement sharing his “sincere apologies”and insisting that they understand “there is work to be done to rebuild your trust in us.”
With the likes of Olivia Rodrigo, Peter Kay, The Black Keys and more having their gigs pulled by the venue due to numerous issues, including an air conditioning unit falling from the ceiling, fans are understandably fearful that other upcoming events could face delays or general misfortune.
Much like the venue itself, we imagine we’ll be playing catch-up on this whole saga for the foreseeable, but here’s a recap of the story so far:

Gavin and Stacey will return with a 2024 Christmas special for its final episode
Danny Jones
After some pretty big rumblings earlier this year, it’s finally been confirmed that Gavin and Stacey will be returning for a Christmas special this year and what will be its last-ever episode.
The beloved British comedy last aired back in 2019 with their previous Christmas special and fans of the show have been crying out for more ever since.
Well, it turns out they’ll be getting just one more go around the block as co-creators James Corden and Ruth Jones revealed that they have now finished writing their third and final Xmas special which will tie a festive bow on the trio of series which started all the way back in 2007.
Sharing a picture of the script on social media, the pair wrote: “Some news… It’s official!!! We have finished writing the last ever episode of Gavin and Stacey. See you on Christmas Day, BBC One. Love Ruth and James”.
However, what was actually going on was a bit of a red herring as she carefully chose to talk down any notions of another series but didn’t categorically dismiss the potential Christmas special.
In fact, she actually went on to add: “All I can say is, if there was something to say on that front, James [Corden] and I would happily announce it, we would.”
And that’s exactly what they’ve done. Well played, Nessa.
As for details surrounding the final chapter in the Gavin and Stacey story, we have very few details at this stage but fans of the iconic show will already be wondering how they might pick up from where certain threads left off.
Production companies Baby Cow, Corden’s Fulwell 73 and Jones’ Tidy Productions are all behind the special and, given the momentous occasion, it will likely have a primetime slot on the TV guide when it finally rolls around this holiday season.
So get your remotes, baubles and bhunas at the ready because Gavin and Stacey is coming back for one last time and it’s sure to be a TV event that people all across the UK will remember for years to come.
