Eager pet owners are going mad for a new dog-friendly bubble mixture that apparently tastes and smells just like bacon.
Bacon is a food beloved by Brits, but it’s our four-legged friends that arguably love the taste of it even more than we do.
That’s why Yorkshire-based pet product manufacturers, Pets Pad, has decided to bottle up the classic bacon taste and turn it into something non-toxic for dogs to enjoy so that they don’t feel left out the next time we reach for the frying pan.
Coming in two different bottle sizes, Pets Pad Bacon Scented & Flavour Dog Bubbles has recently been rebranded from the popular K9 Bacon Bubbles, and now boasts a new and improved mixture that adds extra bubbles and bacon flavour for dogs to enjoy.
You can use the mixture – which is safe for both pets and children – to either refill your bubble guns / machines for hours of fun, or simply use the free hand wand that comes with every purchase.

According to the description on the Pets Pad website, dogs “just can’t get enough of bubbles”.
They will happily spend ages popping them, chasing them, pouncing on them and most-importantly, chomping at them – but this time round, instead of tasting like soap, they can be treated to the flavour of bacon.

A now-viral post sharing the bacon bubbles to over one million fans on the ever-popular Extreme Couponing & Bargains UK page on Facebook has gone down a treat, amassing over 2.9K comments and hundreds of shares in less than 24 hours, with many keen to get their hands on a bottle.
Many also shared their reviews of the product in the comments, with one dog owner admitting: “Can confirm, my dog adores these”, and another adding: “I’ve been using this for months on my dog Marley, he’s obsessed with them [and] it gives him so much exercise chasing the bubbles up and down the garden”.
A third recommended that the mixture is “better in a bubble machine” so that you can see how many your dog can catch.

You can get your hands on the Bacon Scented & Flavour Dog Bubbles from the Pets Pad website here, which will set you back just £2.25 plus postage and packaging, or you can buy in bulk from eBay instead.
Other shoppers in the comments also hinted that they may be available at selected branches of The Range and Bargain Buys, so keep your eyes peeled.

You can get FREE sandwiches in Manchester this weekend – but only if you have certain names
Emily Sergeant
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
Emily Sergeant
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.
