Yes, 2020 has no doubt been an unprecedented year so far, but we promise this isn’t the most belated April Fool’s prank of them all.
Heinz has just launched a brand new range of ice cream kits – Heinz Creamz – and they come with a variety of bizarre sauces, including ketchup, mayonnaise and BBQ.
Considering July is National Ice Cream Month, perhaps it’s time to give these a whirl?
Okay, we’re certainly not expecting them to be up everyones’ street, but if you’re suitably intrigued by the idea of potentially pouring Heinz sauce all over your ice cream dessert instead of your chippy tea, then these are the choices of kits on offer to you – Heinz Ketchup Creamz, Heinz Mayo Creamz, Heinz BBQ Creamz, Heinz Saucy Sauce Creamz and Heinz Salad Creamz.
Every kit comes with a range of accessories and a selection of recipes that are easy to make at home.
The Heinz Creamz kits are suitable for vegetarians and vegans – with modified recipe options – and have no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

Speaking on the release of the new Creamz kits, David Chalbert, Senior Brand Manager at Heinz Sauces, said: “This summer is looking different for many of us, and while we might be staycationing or staying at home more than in other years, it doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the joys of a good ice cream.”
“Heinz sauces are here to help.”
“We give you the ultimate summer mash up – Heinz Creamz – A DIY ice cream kit, with an added summery squeeze of one of your favourite Heinz Sauces, so, you needn’t miss out on one of the sauciest of sweet treats (or six) during a summer of social distancing.”
“We know it might seem like a bit of a crazy combo to some, but anything is possible.”
The Heinz Creamz kits are retailing at £15 each.
If you like the sounds of them, then they’ll be available to get your hands on from 1st July at the Heinz to Homewebsite here.

New £350m sustainable neighbourhood in Stockport given the green light
Emily Sergeant
Planning permission has been granted for a new ‘walkable and sustainable’ neighbourhood in Stockport town centre.
A major milestone has been reached for Stockport’s transformation, as the new mixed residential mini-village, ‘Stockport 8’ – which was put forward by the local LLP of the same name, set up as part of a partnership between Stockport Council and ECF (English Cities Fund) – has been given the green light, helping to make it one of the most sustainable and liveable town centres in the UK.
The eight-acre site is just one in a series of regeneration projects led by Stockport Mayoral Development Corporation (MDC), as part of ambitious plans to develop land west of the town centre under the ‘Town Centre West’ (TCW) scheme.
The development is a key element of the wider £1 billion investment currently being delivered.
The plans were recommended for approval at Stockport’s central area committee at the end of July, and were then approved at planning committee last week (14 August).

Located on land either side of King Street West and next to the historic viaduct, the £350m mixed residential neighbourhood – which includes many affordable properties – is expected to ‘breathe life’ back into what was once a ‘thriving’ area under the railway arches, connecting Stockport Interchange with nearby communities in the process.
The plans will deliver approximately 1,300 new high-quality homes to suit existing residents and new homeowners moving into the Greater Manchester town in the next decade.
There’ll be be a mix of residential properties, including build-to-rent and owner-occupier – with a range of sizes to meet the needs of different households.
The development is also centred around ‘vibrant’ public spaces where people can meet and relax outdoors, helping to improve the wellbeing of residents, while a pedestrian-only street will run through the centre, again to encourage interaction.
“We’re not adopting a one-size-fits-all approach at Stockport 8,” explained Catherine Chilvers, who is the Managing Director of Stockport MDC.
“Instead, we are investing in high-quality and energy- efficient housing that offers so much more for people at all stages of life.
“The development sets the bar high for town centre living, creating a considered neighbourhood for residents along with leisure and employment opportunities, while outdoor squares, with a multitude of uses, will allow people to feel connected and enable families to grow.”
As detailed in the official appeal by Stockport Police, the white female was wearing black shorts, a red top and a black long-sleeve zip-up before she went missing.
Measuring roughly 5’2″ in height, she has long brown hair and had it tied at the time of her last sighting.
Writing on Facebook, fellow Stopfordian residents wrote, “Her parents are very worried about her. Please share”, and “Please keep your eye out for Freya. Very kind-hearted girl. Let’s get her home safely.”
Helping spread the news on social media, GMP went on to add: “Officers are concerned about Freya and want to ensure she is safe and well.”
The post has been shared in Stockport towns such as Bredbury, Hazel Grove and Marple, as well as further across Greater Manchester and the North West in hopes of tracking her down.
Anyone with any info they think might be of use should call 101 ASAP, quoting 3495 of 17/08/25.
Alternatively, you can get in touch with the anonymous referral service Crimestoppers online, or over the phone via 0800 555 111.
Last but not least, if you have urgent information regarding anyone’s safety or a crime being committed, please dial 999 immediately.
