People are so upset about discontinued Milky Way bars that a petition has been launched to save them

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson - 27th April 2022

Upset shoppers have launched a petition to try and bring back some discontinued Milky Way bars.

More than 2000 people have already signed the Change.org petition calling for Crispy Rolls to make a comeback.

A firm favourite in most households, Milky Way Crispy Rolls featured a light cream centre surrounded by crunchy wafer and chocolate.

It’s been a staple for decades, but has quietly been removed from all supermarkets, and Mars – which makes the treats – has confirmed they’ve headed to a ‘galaxy far, far away’.

The petition states that it’s ‘disappointing’ to see this ‘nice low calorie snack’ removed from production.

The post says: “I know that some products are discontinued because they are not as popular as other products, however I don’t think this is the case. The only stores in the UK that sold this product was; B&M, The Co-op and Poundland. 

“Why wasn’t Waitrose, Morrisons, Tesco and Asda selling this product? I believe if this product was sold in those stores you would find it being a even more popular product. If you went to 1 of the 3 stores that did stock that product you would mostly find that the product was out of stock because of its popular demand.

“This is a product that I really enjoyed buying and I want people to sign this petition so that we can hopefully get this product in production again.”

On The Manc‘s Facebook page, someone else wrote: “So no happiness for anyone in the uk anymore.”

Another commented: “What is this fresh hell?”

A Mars Wrigley UK Spokesperson said: “While Milky Way Crispy Rolls are currently in a galaxy far, far away we’re pleased to offer many delicious alternatives such as Milky Way Magic Stars, Maltesers, Mars and of course, the traditional Milky Way.

“The love for Milky Way Crispy Rolls has been out of this world and we’ve certainly taken note!”

A new study has revealed the exact age that ‘hangovers from hell’ begin

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

Still nursing a Christmas hangover? There might be a reason for that.

That’s because a new study has officially revealed the exact age that “hangovers from hell” start and begin to ruin our lives.

Picture this, you’re a 20-something-year-old who’s woken up after a night of heavy drinking only to feel a faint headache and a craving for greasy food. One fry up and one lucozade later, you’re feeling right as rain by 3pm and ready to go again.

Fast forward a few years and a glass of red wine or two will knock you out for days as you reach for the paracetamol and hide away from any bright light whilst you swear to never ever drink again (until the next weekend).

Gone are the days where you could stay out all night and only feel a slight hangover the next morning.

But at what age does this drastic decline take place? When does our ability to handle alcohol slip through our sticky, tequila covered fingers? Well, a new study carried out by greeting-card company Thortful has found that the age of 34 is where it all starts to go downhill.

A survey of 2,000 people aged from 18 to 65 found this to be the age where hangovers really start to sting and you begin to question whether that last gin and tonic was really worth it, and it doesn’t just stop there, as age 35 was found to be the year when hangovers last for two days which is the ultimate punishment.

We all know there’s nothing worse than rocking up to work on a Monday morning still feel hazy eyed and more dehydrated than a cactus.

Sadly, it’s not until age 37 when we finally learn from our mistakes (supposedly) and start to recognise our limits – with the consensus being that people feel ‘too old’ to go out at age 38, and subsequently start to feel more drunk after just two drinks at age 39.

At least it’ll be a cheap night out.

The science behind it is as follows – Dr. Deborah Lee of Dr Fox Online Pharmacy, said little research has been conducted on the severity of hangovers with regards to ageing, but explained they worsen due to ‘the breakdown of alcohol and the persisting presence of its toxic metabolite – acetaldehyde – in the body’, the Metro reports.

“Hangovers are likely to worsen with age because the activity of the key enzymes involved in alcohol breakdown becomes less efficient with age,” Dr Lee explained.

“Also, older people have less muscle and more fat, plus the distribution of water within the body alters as we age.

“The end result is higher levels of blood alcohol which take longer to metabolise.”

So, if you’re still in your 20s and deliberating whether or not to have that extra shot of tequila then use this information to your advantage and go for it, as sooner or later that extra sip might have you bed bound and out of action for a few days, so enjoy it whilst you can.

More than 12 million Brits think Yorkshire puddings belong with your Christmas dinner

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant

More than 12 million Brits would argue that your Christmas dinner needs a side of Yorkshire puddings, a shocking survey has revealed.

The survey in question carried out by retailer Next – which polled a total of 2,000 Brits about their Christmas dining and tableware habits – has uncovered that millions of people stray off the beaten track when it comes to, what we can all agree is, one of the biggest and heartiest meals of the year. 

It turns out, Brits like a lot of unusual items on our Christmas dinner plate.

Some of the most obscure finds the survey is that two million people admitted to eating onion rings alongside their turkey and sprouts, and a further 5% (3.4 million) Brits like tucking into a bit of seafood on Christmas Day.

A surprising 4% (2.7 million) of people admitted that they like to add ketchup to their Christmas dinner plate – with mac and cheese, chips, and sweetcorn also making the top 10 list.

If all of that wasn’t mad enough as it is, one of the most shocking stats from the survey is probably the fact that a whopping 1.4 million respondents even said that they wouldn’t consider it a Christmas dinner without the addition of baked beans. 

But when it comes to Christmas dinner, there’s probably one debate that’s bigger than them all, and is still yet to be decided – do Yorkshire puddings belong on your Christmas dinner plate or not?

Well, 12.7 million Brits believe that they do, and we reckon a good chunk of that number is us northerners.

The UK’s top 10 non-traditional Christmas food items

  1. Yorkshire Puddings (19% – 12.7 million)
  2. Bread sauce (5% – 3.4 million)
  3. Seafood (5% – 3.4 million)
  4. Ketchup (4% – 2.7 million)
  5. Mac and cheese (3% – 2 million)
  6. Onion rings (3% – 2 million)
  7. Chips (2% – 1.2 million)
  8. Bread (2% – 1.2 million)
  9. Sweetcorn (2% – 1.2 million)
  10. Beans (2% – 1.2 million)

While previous research has shown that the most common items on a British Christmas dinner are roast potatoes and gravy, these latest stats reveal there are some people out there who just like to do things a little differently.

But no matter how you like to eat it, a delicious Christmas dinner is always going to be something to celebrate, right?

Now it’ll soon be time to go and tuck into yours.
