It’s an absolute cult-classic Down Under, but it’s never been widely available on UK supermarket shelves until now.
After years of tempting the taste buds of Brits who’ve made the trip to Oz, Cadbury announced last week that one of its most popular chocolate bars of all time would be available to buy from shops on this side of the pond for the first time ever.
The iconic British chocolate brand is finally bringing Cadbury Caramilk to the UK.
Many gifting websites and high street stores like B&M have previously been known to import the bars from Australia, but this is the first time a UK-made bar will be available.
The beloved Australian chocolate bar will join Cadbury’s extensive range of treats in supermarkets nationwide and is made with a uniquely-crafted blend of caramelised white chocolate that’s combined with golden caramel chocolate to create a smooth and silky texture.

Chocolate lovers were initially told that they would be able to get their hands on the new bar by the end of this month.
But many have already spotted it on supermarket shelves.
A shopper over at the ever-popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook noticed that the 190g bars of the exclusive chocolate bar were stocked on the shelves at their local Tesco branch and so decided to share the news with the over 1.7 million members of the money-saving community.
As you can probably imagine, it really went down a treat and got a lot of people talking after amassing thousands of interactions and comments.
Although pricing is likely to differ from store to store, these 190g bars were priced at £1.50 each.

Speaking on the launch of Cadbury Caramilk, Beatrice Berutti – Brand Manager at Mondelez – said: “We’re excited to announce that Cadbury is launching its Cadbury Caramilk bar in the UK this summer.
“After we heard Aussie fans’ reaction and their love for the Caramilk bar, we knew we had to add this popular classic to our range in a new and improved format [so] I’d encourage everyone to keep their eyes peeled for the bars hitting the shelves.
“If it’s anything like Australia, the bars will be loved by everyone.”
It’s expected that Cadbury Caramilk will be sold at a number of major supermarket retailers, but if you want to try your luck at your nearest Tesco for now, you can check the opening times for your local branch here.

Manchester has been named one of the most ‘stressful’ places to drive in the UK
Emily Sergeant
The UK’s most challenging driving locations have been revealed, according to new data… and isn’t good news for Manchester.
No matter whether you’re a new driver or have years of experience behind the wheel, some roads can test even the most confident of motorists.
From congestion and poor road conditions, to limited parking and higher incident rates, it’s fair to say that some areas make driving more stressful.
But which parts of the UK are the hardest to drive in?
Well, in a bid to answer that question, MoneySuperMarket has analysed a whole host of data – such as road infrastructure, road safety, road conditions, vehicle crime concerns, and insurance-related trends – for 58 UK cities, boroughs, and local authorities to create a drivability score and discover the locations that drivers find most stressful.

Manchester, unfortunately, claimed third place on the list of top 10 most challenging locations for drivers – with an overall drivability score of 25 out of 100.
Other northern cities and towns like Leeds, Preston, Blackpool, Bradford, Wakefield, and Oldham have founded themselves in the top 10 too, meaning the North West is sadly the most-represented area.

The findings also reflect some of the concerns drivers experience on the road, with more than a third of motorists (34%) saying they have avoided driving because they were travelling in an unfamiliar area, while almost a third (32%) have chosen not to drive due to heavy traffic or congestion.
Dealing with impatient or aggressive drivers was the most commonly cited source of stress, with almost two-thirds of motorists (65%) saying they find situations such as tailgating and beeping stressful.
“Driving is part of everyday life for millions of people, but our research shows just how much stress and uncertainty it can bring,” commented Alicia Hempsted, who is a Car Insurance Expert at MoneySuperMarket.
“Particularly in areas where there are more incidents recorded, car-related thefts are more common, or where there is heavier traffic or less familiar roads.”

Channel 4 is looking for Mancs who think they can survive the apocalypse for a new TV series
Lydia Mastrolonardo
Have you always wanted to see how long you’d last in an apocalypse?
Well now’s your chance, as Apocalypse is potentially coming back to Channel 4 for a second series, with producers having put out a nationwide casting call for contestants willing to take part.
The casting call simply reads: “Do you think you have what it takes to survive the end of the world?”
Described as a dystopian series designed to test the creativity, resourcefulness, and resilience of our nation, Apocalypse sees players are pushed out of their comfort zones and put to the ultimate test.
In the series, ordinary people are tasked with surviving for 28 days in an abandoned city – used previously only for the military to practice urban warfare – with no food, running water, electricity or heat.
Produced by The Garden – which is part of ITV Studios – for Channel 4, the show’s creators are now calling on Mancs and people up and down the country with the ‘courage and ingenuity’ to compete, to get in touch and apply for the potential second series.
Does your mate always bang on after watching a post-apocalyptic film that they would’ve done things differently? Or is the news at the moment freaking you out and you want to give the end of the world a bit of a practice run? Either way, sign up, test that plan you’ve built in your head, and see if you’ve really got what it takes.
Applications are now open, and all you need to do is fill in a short application form and one of the production team will get back to you if they would like to proceed. Come on, let’s prove what Mancs are made of.
