That’s because the beloved confectionary company has announced that one of its fan-favourite chocolate bars from the 90s is set to make a long-awaited comeback.
For sweet tooths who are quite partial to their milk and white chocolate, then how both in one sound? That’s right, it’s been a long time coming, but Cadbury has revealed that it’ll be relaunching the massively-popular Top Deck bar as another way of celebrating the company’s 200th anniversary.

The Top Deck bar was first launched all the way back in 1993, and features a layer of smooth white chocolate on top of a classic Dairy Milk chocolate base.
Giving chocolate lovers the best of both worlds, the Top Deck bar is still sold in Australia and South Africa, and even briefly reappeared exclusively at B&M back in 2020, despite it not having been a permanent feature on UK shop shelves since the early noughties.

But now, it’s back… well, just for a little while anyway.
As mentioned, in a bid to properly mark Cadbury’s continued 200th anniversary celebrations, the Top Deck bar will return to supermarket shelves later this month for a limited run, and the company says it’ll be like “a trip down memory lane for 90s babies”.
Expected to set shoppers back £1.85 for a 110g bar, the returning Top Deck bar will be wrapped in what Cadbury is calling “vintage-inspired packaging from the original”, while the actual bar itself has had a little revamp to bring it more in-line with how Cadbury’s other chocolate sharing bars look at the moment.

Speaking to The Grocer ahead of the long-awaited Top Deck return, Cadbury’s Brand Manager, Mara Popa, said the company is “delighted” to be answering fans’ requests by relaunching the chocolate bar for “a limited time”.
“With two delicious layers of milk and creamy white chocolate, every bite of Cadbury Top Deck will reward you with pure indulgence.”
At this time, it’s unknown exactly how long Top Deck will be returning to UK shop shelves for, but what we do know is that any time is better than nothing.
You can get FREE sandwiches in Manchester this weekend – but only if you have certain names

Hungry Mancs can help themselves to free sandwiches this bank holiday weekend… but there’s a bit of a catch.
You can only get yourself a sandwich if you have one of these particular names.
We’ve been enjoying some absolutely stunning sunshine across Greater Manchester and much of the UK over the past couple of months, and nothing says sunny days more than taking a packed lunch or grabbing a meal deal and taking it to your local park or greenspace for a picnic.
This is why Pret A Manger has decided to make picnics easier for those who are lucky enough to have a certain type of name.
This late May bank holiday weekend, the popular high street coffee shop chain will be dishing out hundreds of free sandwiches across the UK – including here in Manchester – to anyone whose name happens to start with ‘Nic’.
That means people called Nick, Nicholas, Nicola, Nicole, Nico, Nicolette, and plenty of others could be in with a chance of some free feasting over these next couple of days.

Here in Manchester, it’s the chain’s Portland Street site, just off Piccadilly Gardens, that’s participating in the free giveaway this weekend, and there’ll be 50 sandwiches a day given out, so you’ll need to be quick if your name starts with ‘Nic’ and you’re feeling peckish.
The offer is only limited to Pret’s freshly-made sandwiches, and unfortunately excludes baguettes, wraps, or rye rolls… but free food is better than no food, after all.
All you’ll need to do to grab a freebie is show your ID at the tills of participating stores this Saturday (24 May) to prove your name, and you’ll get to walk out with your lunch in hand, all without having to spend a penny.
Manchester’s Portland Street Pret A Manger will be giving out 50 free sandwiches to ‘Nics’ this Saturday, and they’re on a first-come-first-served basis.

BBC needs adventurous Mancs to take part in next series of Race Across the World

Are you a fan of travelling? Got a bit of a competitive streak in your nature? This might just be your calling then.
The BBC is currently casting for the next series of Race Across the World.
The BAFTA-winning hit show is currently airing to thousands of viewers each week, but with the next series now in the works, producers are on the look-out for ‘intrepid duos’ of all ages who reckon they’re ready to take a step into the unknown, and embark on an epic race across land and sea – and that includes Greater Manchester residents.
With applications for the next series of the massively-popular show now open, nomadic Mancs are being encouraged to take part.
On a limited budget and away from the luxuries of modern technology and conveniences, those lucky applicants selected to take part in the next series will get the chance to experience life in some of the world’s most beautiful and remote locations.

Navigating their way across thousands of miles, they’ll travel through spectacular scenery and dynamic cities, visit ancient wonders, learn local customs, and take part in time-honoured traditions.
But, as producers are keen to point out, “the physical journey is only half of the story”.
That’s because, as the contestants take on the challenge of travelling across the world, the greatest thing they’ll discover along the way could actually be about themselves and one another.
Putting out a UK-wide casting call on the BBC website this week, producers Studio Lambert wrote: “We are now accepting applications for the next series of Race Across the World. This experience is open to all, whether you’re a seasoned traveller or total novice.
“We want to hear what undertaking a trip like this would mean to you, and with a cash prize at stake, what lengths you would go to to win.

“Maybe you’re looking to change something in your life? Or are keen to share the journey with someone special like a family member, best friend, or someone you’ve lost touch with. You may even have a very personal reason for wanting to travel at this time in your life or explore a particular part of the world.”
Fancy it then?
Applications for the third series of Race Across the World are now open for anyone over 18 years of age, with a deadline date of 6 July 2025, and you can find out more information and apply via the BBC website.
